Job overview
Southport Learning Trust is a growing and dynamic Trust consisting of seven schools.

Through the extensive collaborative approach with our schools across the Trust we are able to highlight challenges and develop creative responses to positively impact our children and school communities. Throughout the country we are experiencing a significant increase in the number of young people with a range of challenges in successfully accessing the mainstream curriculum in KS3.

This is a potentially career defining role for the right candidate. The Trust are committed in providing a highly ambitious and inclusive provision for our young people that will require candidates who share that vision and can evidence the skill, creativity and commitment to implement this unique provision. The location of the provision will adjoin our Trust office site based at Southport College and will provide unique access to stakeholders committed to supporting this ambitious provision.
Southport Learning Trust is committed to the wellbeing of all staff through continued professional development and a comprehensive Employee Wellbeing Assistance Programme.

Student experience is also prioritised outside of the classroom. At Stanley, we have a variety of extra and co-curricular events and activities that take place regularly throughout the year and staff are always willing to go the extra mile to put on trips, clubs and shows aimed at supporting, stretching and challenging students in their thinking. Our sporting prowess in particular knows no bounds and our students are as dedicated to us in their representation in matches against other schools as we are to them each day.
