Dear Applicant,
Thank you for your interest in Sir William Stanier School and The Learning Partnership.
We are looking to appoint a dynamic, passionate and ambitious leader to the role of Principal at Sir William Stanier School to continue the school’s journey to ensure the best possible education for our students.
The Learning Partnership is a multi-academy trust that formed in September 2023 through the merger of two trusts working in the same geographical area that already were working in partnership. The trust is now 15 schools in four areas, Crewe, Congleton, East Staffordshire and Knutsford, with ambition for more growth in the future. We have taken on schools that face multiple challenges; we believe that our leadership should extend beyond the Trust making a positive contribution to the wider sector.
We also have a significant central infrastructure including finance, HR, estates, marketing and governance functions. We also benefit from The Learning Institute, which delivers a range of professional development and teacher training opportunities.
Above all, we are passionate about improving the life chances of the children, families and colleagues and communities that we serve.
We are looking for a school leader with a track record of making a difference; one who believes that all young people can achieve excellent standards and has the capacity and capability to give exemplary leadership to their team and a school to make it a reality. This role offers an experienced leader, the exciting opportunity to continue the positive progress made at Sir William Stanier School and further enhance the reputation of this school on its journey to becoming a great school at the heart of its community.
Initially reporting directly to the Deputy Chief Executive Officer (Education), we will support you both personally and professionally, supporting your development and that of your staff and school, ensuring that you have access to our central educational expertise and school improvement support to drive the necessary improvements at the school. The successful applicant will enjoy the full support and confidence of our Trust team, the Academy’s staff and local governors.
Leaders at The Learning Partnership are driven by a shared sense of accountability for all children across the trust and therefore work with openness and honesty. As a trust, we have a carefully balanced decision-making framework with Principals having the authority to take decisions that meet the needs of their school community. We have a talented team of Principals and leaders who collaborate to share resources, best practices, overcome challenges and learn from each other.
We hope that the information provided in this pack will help you to decide if you have the right qualities, skills and experience to apply for this role. If you feel that you have the vision, drive and necessary energy to lead Sir William Stanier School, then we would be delighted to hear from you. It really is an exciting time to join the journey here at The Learning Partnership.
I wish you all the very best in your application and look forward to meeting you.
Best wishes,
Dan Thomas
Chief Executive Officer
