Always polite and respectful, they get along well with each other and enjoy great relationships with staff ” Ofsted 2024. 

We seek a passionate, inspirational, and driven individual to lead our Academy onto the next stage of its journey.  The push to improve the quality of teaching and learning, progress and outcomes here at NK is relentless. However we are so much more than that. A true community school, our broad and balanced curriculum is complemented by excellent facilities and a genuine commitment to the wellbeing of all our students. We need a leader who can build on the progress we have made and develop and deliver a strong strategic plan, whilst retaining the unique NK character that makes us special. We want our Headteacher to be a visible and active member of our Academy community, empower our staff to ensure they feel valued, and manage change effectively.
