Job overview
Thank you for your interest in joining L.E.A.D. Academy Trust as Headteacher of The Birley Academy in Sheffield.
We are determined as a Trust to bring about change and improvement to educational standards in Sheffield and in the East Midlands.
In recognition of our work so far, the Department for Education is supporting our Trust to expand its provision to other academies in this part of England and possibly beyond.
Leadership, therefore, is critical to our ambitions to be the one of the leading Trusts nationally, with leadership not only at Trust level, but also within our constituent academies.
So, what sort of leader are you?
Are you someone who is as ambitious as we are? Are you someone who wants to make a mark as a great Headteacher? Are you someone with the grit and determination to show that children and young people in Sheffield can do as well as anywhere in the UK? If you are, then you are the sort of person we want!
The Trust is looking for an aspirational secondary leader who is able to demonstrate outstanding teaching and learning along with being able to deliver effective school improvement with widespread impact.
You will be a highly present and visible leader around the academy and within the local community building effective relationships with colleagues, students, parents and carers. Your approach will set high standards for the rest of the senior leadership team and beyond.
L.E.A.D. Academy Trust prides itself on the support and advice we give to all our Headteachers. That is why the welfare of our academy leaders is as important to us as any policy or strategy. Remember, our Trust Executives are people who have already “been there and done it”, so they know what it’s like on the front line!
This will be a great job for you if you’re someone who wants to make a tangible difference to the lives of children and young people. After all, they have just one chance of receiving the education they deserve.
We look forward to receiving your application through our retained consultant, Vonya Campey, who can be contacted at vcampey@academicis.co.uk or 07340 010983

About The Birley Academy
The Birley Academy is a popular secondary school situated in the south east of Sheffield. We have a modern building set on a pleasant campus and enjoy excellent facilities. We have recently joined L.E.A.D multi-academy trust, marking an exciting time in the Birley story and a great opportunity for staff to be part of any improvements.
Our vision at Birley is simple: to ensure that we constantly challenge ourselves and our students to aspire to our very best, enjoying learning and being active members of the learning community. As part of the L.E.A.D multi-academy trust, we work with all stakeholders including parents, local businesses, community leaders and partner primaries to represent and meet the needs of our students. We all believe that our students are entitled to nothing but the best.
Our Structure and Organisation Since February 2017 we have been part of the L.E.A.D multi academy trust along with all the primaries in our family of schools. As part of our outstanding MAT we have access to support, challenge and resources to enable us to drive improvement. Students are taught in a variety of groupings including mixed ability and sets. Each lesson lasts for an hour and there are five of them in a day. Every morning students start with either tutor time or assembly. The school day runs from 08:40 to 14:55 although breakfast and after-school activities run every day. Students in KS4 will have four options to go alongside the core offer of English, Maths, Science, RE, PSHE and PE. We are particularly pleased with the take up for EBacc which we encourage as many students to take as possible.
