About the Opportunity
A new school. A growing provision. An extraordinary opportunity to lead what comes next.
At Wellfield Academy, we are entering an exciting new chapter. With a brand-new school rebuild underway, a newly opened SEND provision (Endeavour Thrive), and a community with ambition for its young people, we are looking for an exceptional Headteacher to lead us into the future.
This is an opportunity to do more than lead a school. It is an opportunity to help build one.
About Wellfield Academy
Wellfield Academy is an ambitious, growing, and thriving school. At our school, students experience increasingly strong teaching, excellent pastoral care, and a genuine belief that every child can succeed. The successful candidate will join us at an incredibly exciting time for the school. We are one of just a small number of schools nationally to be chosen for the Department for Education’s Schools Rebuilding Project, which will see us move into a brand-new state-of-the-art school in the coming years.
In addition, our growing reputation in the local community has secured a significant increase in the number of students attending Wellfield. The number of families choosing Wellfield as their first-choice secondary school has more than trebled in the past three years, and we are excited to welcome more staff into the Wellfield family as a result.
