A year to go.... - academy opens in Sept 2009!

Over the summer the role of principal of the academy has been advertised, the advert carried some useful information, namely the name "The Strood Academy", and the confirmation that the location is the Chapter School site.

The rest of the ad makes interesting reading - not least that the closing date for applications is the 15th September. Given that the council think they will make the appointment by the end of September, that leaves just 2 weeks to appoint someone to the £100K plus position.

To me - that sounds like they already have someone in mind, and given that there appears to be no representation outside of the Council and the Sponsors on the interview board then there appears to be little chance influencing that decision.

There is still time to apply - if you are interested........ click here to see the advertisement.
