Are you ready to inspire and lead? At Co-op Academy Grange, we are seeking a dynamic Pastoral Team Leader to drive improvements across the school, foster collaboration, and elevate student outcomes! As part of Co-op Academies Trust, you will have the opportunity to innovate, inspire, and raise achievement levels across the school while working within a supportive leadership team. Our aim is to ensure that our students are given every opportunity to reach their full potential, regardless of their background. With this in mind, we are looking to appoint a leader who shares our vision for a learning environment that is ambitious as well as supportive and nurturing. As well as academic success, we focus on and take great pride in our students' behaviour. We aim for high achievement in an environment which is based on rewards, not sanctions.
