It’s an exciting time at Parkwood Hall and you would be joining at a transformational time for the academy. This is a pivotal appointment in the next steps of our development.
I joined the academy in September 2022 and have found the staff to be welcoming and passionate about their work. The pupils are an inspiration. There is much to be done as we move into the next phase of our development and this role will be key in the strategic direction we are about to take.
The business team within the academy are a vital part of the school and are highly valued members of the team. This role will lead the business team and ensure that the academy is run in a professional and robust way.

All of our staff must be kind and that includes this role. There is interaction with parents who are passionate about the best possible life chances for their children. The person selected for this role must be both operational and strategic, as well as willing to work towards our vision of improving the quality of life for all our community.
