Principal

The Winsford Academy is an 11 - 16 mixed comprehensive and founder member of The Fallibroome Trust - a ten school, cross phase Cheshire based MAT. Our intake is non--selective and we consider ourselves privileged to help to shape young lives in our community.

Winsford Academy is the town's only secondary school and has an able but newly appointed leadership team, committed staff and students who are keen to learn and are proud of their school with parents and carers who want the best choices for their children.

It has been a challenging period for the school because of changes in the leadership team and the residual impact on student behaviour of the pandemic. We are looking to recruit a strong and effective leader with vision, resilience and an optimistic outlook to work with experienced colleagues in the school and Trust team to support the school on the next phase of its development.

We feel this role, whilst challenging, will also provide the opportunity for you to really make a significant difference to pupils' outcomes and life chances. The Academy is a focal point for the economic and cultural regeneration of Winsford and you will find a deeply committed community that will respond enthusiastically to your stewardship.

Ofsted judged Winsford Academy to be 'Requires Improvement' in November 2022 having been judged to be 'Good' in May 2016. The school received a positive monitoring visit by Ofsted in November 2022.

You will have the support of an effective, forward thinking Governing Body, committed to providing high quality education in an aspirational learning environment.

You will be fully supported by the Trust CEO and Deputy CEO, the Director of School Improvement and a central services team who deliver IT, Finance, Facilities and HR under

the leadership of a COO and Chief Information Officer working collaboratively with an experienced School Business Manager.

We are delighted to present the Academy and the Trust as an opportunity to progress your career and make a real difference to a vibrant community. Please take the opportunity to meet with us to fully appreciate the potential for of this role.

This will be a truly rewarding experience for the right candidate offering the opportunity to make a significant impact and real difference as the Academy moves into its next phase of development.
