WELCOME
LETTER FROM THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE
Thank you very much for your interest in becoming United Learning’s Head of Estates. This is a very important appointment for us, and one which has significant impact across our property portfolio. United Learning is deeply committed to the progress and success of all children and young people. We believe in serving local communities through creating excellent schools, which provide outstanding education and serve all children in the area. The decision to become one of the earliest academy sponsors demonstrated the organisation’s continued commitment to inclusion, serving communities and meeting the educational and social needs of the day. As an academy sponsor, we have been prepared to take on some of the most challenging schools in the country and work to create rapid and sustainable improvement. As a result, we have had a major impact on the educational attainment and life chances of many hundreds of young people, including in some of England’s poorest communities. Today, we aim to work as a single organisation, combining the best of independent and state education. We have excellent schools, and a commitment to continued improvement as well as great potential for further growth and development. We aim to enable all schools to achieve more through being part of the Group than they could on their own. As Head of Estates, you will work closely with our network of School Business Managers to manage our freehold and leasehold properties across the Group. You will also liaise closely with the Department of Education (DfE) and local authorities regarding our new and expanding academies and schools. This is a role which I expect to be challenging but also deeply rewarding for an excellent senior estates professional who is looking for a new challenge with the potential to make a significant impact. I hope you will be interested.
