The successful candidate will be a passionate advocate for disadvantaged, marginalised diverse communities, with experience of operating at a senior strategic leadership level within a voluntary sector organisation.

Please note that we will be closed for staff training on Monday 4th September.

Nursery starts again on Tuesday 5th September.

There will be ESOL assessments for Shipley College during this week.

Some 2 year old children are already entitled to 15 hours of free nursery education. If you have a child that is nearly 2 or already 2, please give us a call for more information.
