On behalf of the Trustees and Directors of LiFE Multi Academy Trust, I would like to thank you for your interest in the Headteacher vacancy at Ivanhoe School.

The LiFE Trust currently consists of six secondary schools, four primary schools, three 0-4 nurseries, and three SEMH specialist provisions across both primary and secondary phases. This post at Ivanhoe School offers the successful candidate the opportunity to shape secondary education within the school’s own community, as well as collaborate with fellow Headteachers across the MAT.

At Ivanhoe School, a strong sense of identity is nurtured in our students. This sense of belonging creates an environment where students take pride in their school, themselves, and each other. They are encouraged to develop a broad range of skills, enabling them to become confident, considerate young people, well-equipped to face an ever-changing world. Reflecting LiFE MAT values, staff have always prided themselves on providing a high-quality, rounded education, with activities beyond the classroom valued alongside academic excellence.

Staff and governors at Ivanhoe School are committed to building strong partnerships with other schools. Under the umbrella of LiFE MAT, we work collaboratively on plans for age-range changes in partnership with Ashby and Ibstock Schools within the LiFE MAT. While change can present challenges, it also brings opportunities. We believe that, inspired by a shared vision, dynamic, mutually accountable collaboration will enhance the school’s future success.

The successful candidate will join an established MAT with an experienced and supportive leadership team. Opportunities for professional development will arise through collaborative working, shared good practice and a coaching ethos.

Closing Date: Tuesday 1st April 2025 [11.59pm]
