This is not just another leadership role — it’s a rare opportunity to shape a pioneering institution as it welcomes its first Key Stage 4 students and lays the foundations for a brand-new sixth form opening in 2027.
Can you inspire the next generation of digital innovators? Do you have the vision, drive, and passion to steer a specialist academy into the future?
