We are passionate about our role in social justice in our communities and tackling stubborn South West deprivation. As a Church School leader, you will uphold and develop the school's Christian distinctiveness through its educational offer. We welcome applicants with or without prior experience of leading a Church school. We offer full induction and support as you embark on a journey as a church school leader. You will benefit from excellent systems and support from the Business Support team who manage all aspects of the operations, leaving you space to lead teaching and learning. You will also join a local hub as well as the wider partnership of schools where you will be part of hard-wired inter-dependence and collaboration with a shared responsibility to all children in the Trust. We do operate as islands; we care deeply about each other's schools and communities. Our Headteachers and colleagues are rooted in their communities and work hard to serve their children, and successful candidates will be able to ensure this relationship with pupils and the community continue to flourish. St Helen's is a wonderful school ready to take the next big step on its journey and the new Headteacher has a wonderful opportunity to work with pupils, parents, colleagues and the community to continue the St Helen's journey as it transfers from Alumnis Multi-Academy Trust to the Learning Academy Partnership. We want to support you in deciding if we are the right trust for you. If you would like to arrange a visit to the school, we are offering visits with our Trust Lead / Deputy Trust Lead on Wednesday 11th February and Tuesday 3rd March 2026. Please contact our People Team on to book your visit. For more information and an application pack, please visit our website via the button below. We apologise as due to the situation we can only offer group visits but by offering a 1:1 call we aim to answer individual questions to help you learn more about whether this is the right Trust and school for you. The closing date for this post is Monday 9th March 2026 (12pm) with interviews anticipated to take place across two days on Thursday 19th and Friday 20th March 2026. The Learning Academy Partnership and Alumnis Multi-Academy Trust are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
