Academicis

Want your next headteacher or CEO in post by January or Easter 2027? The search needs to start now.

A proper senior leadership appointment isn't a quick process. Between shortlisting, stakeholder panels, governor availability, notice periods and safeguarding checks, most successful searches take 4-6 months from first conversation to appointment.
Work backwards from a January or Easter 2027 start date, and that search needs to begin now — not once the autumn term settles down.
At Academicis, we help governing boards and trusts run that process properly, from role scoping through to onboarding.

📞 Call us on 01223 907979 or visit www.academicis.co.uk to start the conversation about your next senior appointment.

The end of the summer term is here... but is your leadership team ready for September?

As schools close for the summer, unexpected leadership vacancies can quickly become a challenge. Last-minute resignations, promotions, long-term absence or recruitment delays can leave schools searching for experienced senior leaders at the very moment they need stability the most.

Don't let an unfilled leadership post impact the start of the new academic year.
At Academicis, we provide quality assured Interim Senior Leaders who can step in quickly, maintain momentum and ensure a smooth transition for your staff, pupils and wider school community.

Whether you need an Interim Headteacher, Deputy Head, Assistant Head or Executive Leader, our extensive network of proven education professionals is ready to support your school.
