The Cam Academy Trust Is seeking to appoint an outstanding leader to the post of Chief Executive. The Trust consists of four secondary schools, seven primary/infant schools and one associate primary school across South Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire. It also has four special units for children on the autism spectrum and runs both a Maths Hub and a SCITT. Founded in 2011, the trust has grown in size and reputation over the past 12 years and is in a sound financial position. It is entering its next phase of development and is looking for an inspirational and people-led individual to lead its continuing commitment to quality and school improvement, as well as a comprehensive development agenda. The successful applicant will be an innovator and excellent communicator, with a track record of change and people management.
The Trust has a very clear philosophy at its heart. It strives for ‘Excellence for All’ through a set of values-led principles, and these will be at the heart of ongoing development and growth.
A core principle focuses on the communities which the Trust’s schools serve. There is a strong emphasis on people: not just staff and students but also local families. The Trust empowers decision makers at every level to make appropriate choices in the context they know best. The successful applicant will therefore be a collegiate, inclusive and consultative individual, with an unwavering commitment to the founding principles of the Trust.
The Trust anticipates that the successful candidate will have significant leadership experience, quite probably in a MAT environment; perhaps as CEO, Deputy CEO or Director of Education. The Trust hopes to make the appointment in late Spring/Summer of 2024.
The Candidate Information pack is available here or in the advert on this page and the application form for this position can be downloaded from this page.
