• To design a set of key, repeatable activities that allow you to get into iterative rounds of school improvement
• To help you understand how to get on top of the time it takes to plan and implement a Semester of school improvement without overstretching yourself or your leadership team

We also invite applications from those who aspire to be in these roles, but priority will be given to those in the positions already.
