OWN Trust is a small, successful 3-school academy Trust established in 2019 and located on the western side of Peterborough. We are proud of all our schools - they have unique and separate identities but come together to have an awesome impact on the lives of the children in our communities.
Our greatly respected CEO, Stuart Mansell, is retiring at the end of this academic year and trustees want to appoint a successor who can be just as inspirational as well as further improving OWN Trust.
This is an exciting developmental opportunity for an ambitious candidate who understands academies and how they must grow and succeed. Our new CEO will welcome working with three excellent headteachers, a highly effective central team and supportive trustees, governors, and other stakeholders. We also have incredible pupils - and children are at the heart of everything we do. A key part of our purpose is, 'An excellent education, in all our schools, for all our children and young people'.
You will need to show evidence of:
- Supporting the professional development of your teams e.g. supporting them to senior leader/headship roles in other schools/trusts.
- Having had recent Ofsted inspection experience for your school/trust or others you have supported that have produced positive outcomes. If the outcomes have not been positive, you can provide evidence of how much you have supported that school/trust to improve.
- Demonstrating significant school/trust improvement knowledge and impact for what you have achieved.
- Understanding how to improve and sustain standards for all pupils.
- Understanding the importance of central staff teams such as Finance, HR, Estates and I.T. in successfully supporting a whole trust.
- A depth of understanding of current research into outcomes for Academy Trusts.
- A wide range of links to other local authorities/Academy Trusts.
- A deep understanding of the political scenario academies/trusts face in 2024 - 25.
- An ambition for and knowledge of schools that you will lead.
- Demonstrating concrete links to bodies related to academy expansion.
- Being confident to answer all the challenges trustees will throw at you.
We can offer you:
- The opportunity to grow a strong, established Trust made up of three 'Good' schools where children are at the heart of everything we do.
- A thriving Trust community made up of motivated, experienced, and dedicated headteachers, teaching and support staff, central office staff, trustees and local governance committees, and enthusiastic and engaged parents and children.
- A great location with excellent transport links and beautiful surrounding countryside.
