Nene Education Trust has announced an array of new appointments within the Senior Leadership Team at Manor School in Northamptonshire.
The introduction of a revised and strengthened Senior Leadership Team at the Raunds secondary school includes the appointment of Adam Crawte, who is the new Interim Principal at Manor School – a position he will hold until the end of December 2024. A robust recruitment process is underway to appoint a new permanent Principal, who will take up the leadership position in January 2025.
Adam Crawte has taught in Northamptonshire schools for more than 20 years, holding several senior leadership posts during his career. The experienced History teacher’s most recent post was Director of School Improvement at Brooke Weston Trust, where he led its five secondary schools, to raise the level of challenge and progression across different subjects.
In September, he will be joined by two new senior leaders with Emma Taylor appointed as Manor School’s Senior Vice Principal. Trust leaders highlighted how Emma’s extensive experience of curriculum and pastoral leadership, as well as expertise in assessment, teaching and learning, behaviour, professional development and student leadership, made her the ideal choice for the role.
New Senior Assistant Principal, Charlene Camfield will complete the secondary school’s new Senior Leadership Team structure. Having worked in a variety of secondaries for more than 20 years, she was drawn to Manor because the school corresponds with her core teaching values of inclusion, equality, respect and responsibility and she firmly believes “every child matters and with the correct mindset there are no barriers to achievement”.
Chris Hill, CEO of Nene Education Trust said:
“Following a period of challenge at Manor School, I am delighted to have secured such a strong team of people with the track record, personality, passion and determination to benefit and improve the education and life chances of all the students at our school. I am looking forward to working with Adam, Emma and Charlene to drive the school forward.”
Remaining at the school are Assistant Principals Claire Radd, Darren Carter and Ian Cooper.
