  The Diocese of Chelmsford Vine Schools Trust have a fantastic opportunity for a compassionate, inspirational leader to join our vibrant and welcoming St Margaret's Church of England Academy, starting April 2025.
We believe that education is more than just academic achievement; it is about nurturing the whole child. Our supportive and inclusive environment encourages children to grow, learn, and develop self-confidence while embracing Christian values. As the heart of our school community, the Headteacher plays a pivotal role in leading by example and shaping the future of our pupils. The Vine Schools Trust is a family of 21 schools and we want to create a close knit group of headteachers who are passionate about their own school but committed to working together for the good of all children., At St Margaret's C of E Academy, Part of the Diocese of Chelmsford Vine Schools Trust, we welcome children, their parents and families into a warm, friendly and hardworking environment where our Christian Values are the heart of all we do. At St Margaret's we celebrate the uniqueness of every child of God in our Christian community and encourage them in all we do, preparing them for life's journey. Our Outstanding SIAMS inspection in November 2015 stated that our Christian Values are 'rooted in the very fabric of the school. ' We hope that our website provides a sense of our values, and the aspirations we have for the pupils in our care.
