The White Rose Academies Trust is seeking an exceptional and visionary leader to take on the role of Principal at one of our academies in Leeds. This is a rare and exciting opportunity to lead a vibrant, diverse, and ambitious school community, and to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of education in the city.

As Principal, you will be accountable for the overall educational performance and welfare of all students within the academy. You will report directly to the Trust and be responsible for ensuring that the academy delivers outstanding outcomes within the framework of national legislation, educational best practice, and the Trust’s core values and strategic vision. Your leadership will be central to driving continuous improvement, fostering a culture of high expectations, and ensuring that every student is supported to achieve their full potential.

We are looking for an outstanding individual who can articulate a compelling vision for the academy and inspire staff, students, and the wider community to work together in achieving it. You will be a strategic thinker and a confident decision-maker, with a proven track record of successful leadership in education. Your commitment to inclusion, equity, and excellence will be evident in everything you do, and you will be passionate about creating life-changing opportunities for young people in Leeds.

The successful candidate will demonstrate the highest standards of professional conduct and leadership, meeting the four ‘Excellence As Standard’ domains outlined in the National Standards of Excellence for Headteachers. You will be supported by a strong and collaborative Trust network, with access to high-quality professional development and the opportunity to contribute to system-wide improvement across our family of academies.

If you are ready to lead with integrity, ambition, and purpose—and to make a lasting difference in the lives of young people—we would be delighted to hear from you.
