We are looking for a highly motivated Principal, with a proven track record, working in a good or outstanding school, that can lead Ravens Academy through the next stage of its journey. We are looking for a leader who can uphold and embrace the consistency of high expectations Ravens Academy have become accustomed to.

This is an exciting time for Ravens Academy as we continue our journey as a Good Academy. During our recent Ofsted inspection in February 2024, Ravens Academy was graded as a Good School from a previous Inadequate Judgment. This was a monumental step forward for pupils, families and staff at Ravens and we now embark on our journey from good to outstanding. 

You will have the opportunity to engage and collaborate with our other academies across our Trust during these exciting times, as we learn from each other and improve together. As a Trust, we have recently achieved our first Outstanding Secondary Academy status, will you be the first dynamic leader to deliver Ravens as our first Outstanding Primary Academy through your visionary leadership?

The position will suit an existing experienced senior leader with experience of delivering exceptional standards, who can lead this academy to future success. You will have the opportunity to work with the Director of Primary Education to shape the way in which you will lead the school to positively impact the educational development of all pupils.

If you are the visionary leader we need, we want to hear from you. For more information and to apply, please visit our career portal.

If you would like to visit the school, appointments with Natalie Deen, Director of Primary Education, are available. To arrange your visit, please contact Natalie by email, details can be found in the application pack.
