About Marsden Heights Community College
Marsden Heights Community College is a secondary academy serving the local community of Brierfield and Nelson, in Burnley, Lancashire. It is a popular and vibrant 11–16 secondary school with over 1,050 pupils on roll. Leaders have created an inclusive and caring school environment, focusing on personal development and Education with Character. Students are respectful and behave well; lessons are calm and free from disruption.
With the forthcoming retirement of the Principal at the end of this academic year, we are now looking for a new leader to show the same dedication and commitment, who can take the school forward in its improvement journey. The new leader will inherit a school with strong foundations, a broad and ambitious curriculum, a willing and engaged staffing body, and a huge amount of potential.
The next Principal needs to be committed to continuing to build this positive and inclusive culture whilst securing further improvements in academic standards. They will have the commitment, determination, and empathy to bring pupils, parents, staff, and the wider community with them, as they strive to move the school into its next phase of improvement, with the vision to make the Academy exceptional.
United Learning is a large group of schools – with over 75,000 pupils and more than 10,000 staff – providing educational and operational support. We are values-led and base all that we do on good relationships, so you will be joining a big family. Reporting directly to the Regional Director, you will be supported both personally and professionally, benefiting from the strength of a national Group that will support your development and that of your staff and school.
We are committed to fairness, diversity, and inclusion. We are currently working hard to improve representation of black, Asian, and minority ethnic leaders at headship level and to raise our proportion of women leaders to match their representation in our wider workforce. If you have a strong track record of improving young people's education and a drive to do more, we very much look forward to hearing from you.
We recommend taking the opportunity to make an informal visit prior to making your application to see the school for yourself. Please contact Tracy Laverack at our recruitment partner Academicis. Tracy can be contacted by email ****** or by phone on 07554 118 997 / 01223 907979.
