The role and how to apply

Are you the one to lead us forward?

Coundon Court offers you the opportunity to lead a school unique in its position within the education landscape of Coventry.

Over the next three years the school will embark on an ambitious redevelopment, making the school one of the most modern cutting edge schools in England. Earlier this year, Coundon Court was selected as one of the first 50 schools in England to receive funding under the Government’s School Rebuilding Programme (SRP). The funds will enable the selected schools to undertake major rebuilding and refurbishment work.

The new Principal will be pivotal in shaping the new vision of the school.

We want to hear from ambitious, talented senior leaders and established Principals who will bring inspirational leadership to our school. You will be an exceptionally talented senior leader already, who is highly motivated and passionate about making a difference to the lives of young people with the natural ability to inspire and motivate both students and peers. With substantial leadership experience as a Principal or Deputy, you will lead an approach that sees every challenge as an opportunity to continually improve standards of education and to foster an outstanding learning environment.
