Our opportunity for you
This is an exciting time to join Landau Forte Academy, Amington.

We are an oversubscribed forward thinking 11-16 academy on a mission to provide high quality education for our local community.

We have high expectations for our students and our academy is built upon our shared values:
ambitious, brave and kind.


As with all posts at Amington, we are looking for dedicated, committed and inspirational individuals to provide high quality teaching to our wonderful students.

As Vice Principal you will strategically lead a dedicated team responsible for the Quality of Education, academic standards, quality assurance and student outcomes.


The successful colleague will lead a team of highly motivated and experienced senior and middle leaders, with an objective to deliver outstanding Quality of Education for our wonderful students.

To provide a breadth of experience for an ambitious colleague in pursuit of Headship, there is the possibility of contributing across the academy beyond this initial role.

Collaboration flourishes within our faculties and shared planning empowers our staff to offer an exciting and unreservedly ambitious, challenging and engaging curriculum.

We care about our staff and staff wellbeing is integral to our decision making.

We are committed to prioritising the wellbeing of our staff through a wellbeing committee and by committing to the Education Staff Wellbeing Charter.
