Executive Headteacher (Trust-wide SEND)

This is a rare opportunity for a transformative leader to shape SEND provision across a growing
Trust while continuing to lead a school and making a meaningful difference to children and
young people.

The Legacy Learning Trust (TLLT) is a vibrant and growing multi-academy trust in the Tees
Valley, comprising 1 large secondary with an ASD specialist provision, 6 mainstream primaries,
one with an intervention provision for pupils with identified SEMH needs and a large ASD
specialist through school EYFS to post 16, which is on the journey to becoming part of our Trust
family.

We believe in placing learners and learning and the heart of all we do, enabling schools to thrive
within their communities whilst working within a collective vision. We are responding to a
growing need for dynamic and inclusive practice and provision and are seeking an experienced
and visionary executive leader with expertise in SEND to join our Central Education Team as
part of the role as the new Head Teacher at Beverley School.

Beverley School, a specialist all-through school serving pupils whose primary need is ASD, is
in the process of joining TLLT, with the transfer expected to complete in Summer 2026. During
this period of transition and beyond, the appointed Executive Headteacher will operate in a
dual leadership role, holding statutory Headteacher responsibility for Beverley School while
also providing Trust-wide executive leadership for SEND. This appointment is central to
securing leadership stability, supporting a smooth conversion to academy status, and aligning
the school’s strategic direction with the Trust’s vision for high-quality SEND provision across
all settings.

As a member of the Central Education Team (CET), you will:

• Lead the Trust-wide SEND strategy and ensure statutory compliance
• Support, challenge and develop leaders to secure excellent SEND provision
• Use data, research and evidence to drive improvement and innovation
• Work closely with Trustees, Local Authorities and external partners
