Dear Candidate,
Thank you for your interest in the post of Chief Finance Officer with Tame River Educational Trust.
Tame River Educational Trust was established in 2022, with Tameside and Clarendon Sixth Form College as our sponsor. We grew from our desire to make a significant difference to the school days and life-chances of all our young people, including and especially young people who have fewer socio-economic or prior educational advantages.
Our mission is to establish great schools in which to learn, teach and belong. Schools which promote learning, develop character, value diversity and build cultural capital. By the age of 16 we aim for every student to progress to suitably challenging post-16 studies and apprenticeships.
Each of our schools is committed to academic rigour, a spirit of enquiry, talent and character development and providing our students with a significant educational dividend.
The Trust is currently comprised of three academies: Droylsden Academy, Hyde High School and Mossley Hollins High School. The total budget for all three academies is in the region of £22 Million.
As a Trust we do so much more, and we are growing! We are an ambitious Trust in which to study and work. All our members of staff, both teaching and support staff, are dedicated, committed professionals.
We recognise that our staff are our greatest asset and our Talent and HR strategy places people at the heart of our work.
If, after reading everything about us, this sounds like a Trust you would like to work for, we would very much welcome an application from you.
