Schools in the Finham Park Multi Academy Trust set out to pioneer, innovate and deliver a “World Class” education for all children from the age of 3-19 where the artificial barriers of stage and age are removed.

This successful candidate will also line manage our Primary Support and Innovation Leader at Assistant Headteacher level, and oversee our exciting co-construction, MAT CPD and three-year Responsive Teaching & Instructional Coaching activity strands.
