Our vision is simple: to create inclusive, nurturing environments where all students, regardless of their background or needs, can thrive and reach their full potential. We are a forward-thinking trust that values innovation, collaboration, and the development of both our students and staff.

Joining us as a Headteacher means being part of a supportive and dynamic network of leaders who are passionate about making a difference. You will have the opportunity to shape the direction of your school, backed by a strong central team that offers support, professional development, and resources to ensure your success. At CIT, we believe in empowering our leaders, providing them with the autonomy to inspire their teams while fostering a culture of shared values and collective responsibility.

CIT is a multi-academy trust with schools across Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire. Our trust currently has 8 primary mainstream schools and 7 schools for pupils with Special Educational Needs (SEND). We firmly believe in the power of collaboration, and as such, our schools work closely together to share best practices, with regular meetings for Headteachers, leaders, and staff to facilitate this.

At CIT, we run the LEARN SEND Hub, which manages continuous professional development (CPD) across the trust. The hub offers a wide range of free training opportunities for all our schools, catering to all levels - from headship and leadership support to ECT training and specific interventions such as Lego Therapy and ELSA.

We are now seeking to appoint a dynamic, forward-thinking leader who is committed to embracing the current educational agenda and has the energy, experience, and vision to lead and develop a large community SEND school. The ideal candidate will align with our trust values of Honesty & Integrity, Aspiration, Professionalism, and Inclusivity.

We are looking for passionate, visionary leaders who want to be part of a trust where educational excellence, inclusivity, and personal growth are at the heart of everything we do. If you're driven by the opportunity to make a positive impact on the lives of children, work in a collaborative environment, and develop both personally and professionally, then we would love to welcome you to our community.

We are planning interviews w/c 31st March.
