Exceed Academies Trust and Exceed SCITT is seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and dynamic Head of Primary ITT to lead and develop its primary provision, meeting the needs of its growing partnerships across the sector. The appointment reflects the expansion and diversification of its current provision.
