LETTER OF INTRODUCTION FROM THE CHAIR OF TRUSTEES
Dear Applicant,
We are excited to invite applications for the post of Headteacher at Newent Community School and Sixth Form Centre, Gloucestershire.
Newent Community School is a single academy trust with a strong focus on outward-looking partnerships and collaboration. We place great value on the principles embodied in our HEART values – Honesty, Excellence, Accountability, Respect, and Teamwork – which are woven throughout the fabric of the school, shaping the work we do and the way we engage with our school community.
We recognise there is work to be done to improve the academic success of the students following disappointing results in recent years. Therefore, our priority is to appoint an exceptional leader capable of guiding the school through our next phase of development and embracing the opportunity to drive improvements in teaching and learning.
The successful candidate will play a key role in the strategic direction of the school, striving to provide an outstanding educational experience for all our students. We are deeply committed to being an integral part of the local community, and the new school leader will have the opportunity to make a lasting and positive impact on both the school and wider community.
Our dedicated staff are passionate about their work and are fully committed to helping students reach their potential. Our priority for the next phase of development includes improving student outcomes across the school, increasing retention within the Sixth Form, and fostering high aspirations for all.
We are looking for a visionary leader who can drive forward this agenda with passion and purpose, working closely with staff, students, and trustees to deliver on our shared vision. If you believe you have the qualities we seek, we would be delighted to hear from you.
Thank you for considering this exciting opportunity to make a significant contribution to our school’s future.
Yours sincerely,

Chris Germaine
Chair of Trustees
