Governors are seeking to appoint a dedicated and highly motivated strategic leader who will be able to lead this thriving Community College and build on our recent successes. Our most recent Ofsted report (2023) described us as a “Good college” who “invests in staff’s development. This means that staff feel valued and are proud to work at the school ... Leaders support staff well and consider their workload and well-being” ….. "There is a focused, purposeful atmosphere around the school, which is underpinned by the school’s vision of motivation, commitment and care.“ …. Pupils are confident, well-mannered and eager to share their opinions.  They work hard in lessons and are keen to succeed.”

The role of Vice Principal at Minsthorpe Community College requires a visionary leader who is committed to our values and dedicated to turning our shared vision into reality.  At Minsthorpe, we invest in the recruitment, development and retention of caring professionals who are committed to constantly reviewing and improving the quality of learning, teaching and support.
