Elmhurst School for Dance is a highly successful vocational dance school associated with Birmingham Royal Ballet; it is based one mile from the city centre in Edgbaston.

 

We require an outstanding and highly motivated senior leader to assist the Principal with day-to-day operational leadership and management of the school community. Elmhurst is in a period of change and is developing its ‘one school’ ethos and cross-faculty communication.

A good understanding of school  finance arrangements would be an advantage.

The successful candidate will combine their enthusiasm and interest in supporting school systems to enable other senior colleagues to focus on student achievement.
