We have got a brilliant opportunity for aHeadteacherto join our thriving Multi Academy Trust atSidegate Primary SchoolinIpswich. If you are an experienced Headteacher and feel ready for a new adventure wed love to hear from you.

This isnt just another role. Its a chance to do something that matters to shape lives open doors and build brighter futures for children who deserve the very best.

Were looking for a hearts-led leader who believes in the transformative power of education and who wants to be part of something much bigger than themselves. Someone who knows that education isnt just about results on paper but about creating schools where children feel seen supported and inspired and where staff feel trusted valued and encouraged to be their best selves too.

This is a rare chance to make your mark in an organisation where values arent wallpaper theyre the walls.

This is a role for someone who wants to make their mark without going it alone. Youll be part of a team-first culture where your voice matters as much as your data and where joy in the work is just as important as the work itself.

If youre dreaming of a leadership role where:

• Youre not isolated butpart of a strong kind team
• You belong to a community where teamwork is real
• Courageous leadership and collaboration arent nice-to-haves theyre how we work
• And the kettle is always on (tea or coffee no judgement)

Then lets have a conversation about the future you could help shape one child one school one purposeful step at a time.
