About the role

Willows Academy are

looking to appoint a Head of Academy to join us in September 2026 on a full time,

permanent basis.

As a Head of Academy, you

will be responsible for all aspects of the internal organisation, professional

leadership, management, and control of the academy and for leading supervision

over teaching and support staff.

Are

you looking for a role that will enable you to influence and give direction to

the children in your classes? Do you want to work for a Trust that is

transforming educational outcomes for students in some of the most deprived

areas in the North of England? If so, this could be the role for you.

AtWillows Academy, we’re

committed to helping every child succeed. As a warm and welcoming one-form

entry school in the Great Coates area of Grimsby, North Lincolnshire, we teach

from Nursery through to Year 6. We’ve invested in our site to be able to offer

excellent facilities and resources to support high-quality learning.

We’re proud of our achievements, Ofsted

rated us‘Good’for the third time in 2024, our Phonics

results reached 96% in the academic year 2024-25, and our outcomes remain

consistently in line with or above national levels.

We believe what makes us special is the

strength of our relationships between staff, pupils, and the community. We

offer an excellent personal development curriculum for our pupils known as

‘Delta Stars’ which has been very effective and engaging. Our trips and

residentials enrich learning beyond the classroom and are available to all,

including to Dallowgill, Delta Academies Trust’s outdoor education centre in

North Yorkshire.

Our staff team is supportive,

collaborative, and ambitious. We prioritise wellbeing and professional growth,

offering wide-ranging CPD opportunities, including apprenticeships. At Willows

Academy, you’ll find a rewarding place to work, develop, and make a real

difference.
