- Multiple Locations
- Full Time
- LS 32 - 37
The governors of Tiverton High School are working with the CEO and Trustees of Blackdown Education Partnership to find an exceptional individual with the skills and qualities to make a real difference to the pupils and staff at Tiverton High School.
You will possess strong moral purpose, a vision for great education, an absolute commitment to ensuring the most vulnerable and disadvantaged pupils are front and centre of your ambition, and the drive and leadership qualities to deliver this.
The Blackdown Education Partnership (BEP) has been named by the Regional Director as the preferred sponsor for Tiverton High School, a process which we expect to be concluded for the new academic year. This means that the successful candidate will be joining a MAT with a track record of improving schools, an outstanding reputation locally and regionally and a team of talented and supportive colleague headteachers and Trust leaders.
The Blackdown Education Partnership is a Trust of primary and secondary schools across both Somerset and Devon, and Tiverton High, once it joins, will be one of four BEP schools in beautiful Mid-Devon. Every community deserves a great school, and we will do everything we can to support the successful candidate to take Tiverton High School on this transformational journey.
This is an exciting opportunity, but a challenging one, and our pupils are looking for a Headteacher who can rise to this, build the community’s trust and confidence in their school and who will enable them to flourish academically, socially and personally.

If you can meet the requirements of this role, we would love to hear from you.
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and vulnerable adults, and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
