St Aidan's Church of England High School has appointed an interim headteacher who will start in September.
David Thornton, an experienced head who has led five schools, will join the school on a temporary basis until a permanent appointment is made. He will be the school's third headteacher in the last 12 months.
Mr Thornton will replace Chris Ives, who has been acting head since Chris Burt left in December 2021 due to health reasons.
Mr Ives has been offered a post as head of an international school in Kathmandu, Nepal.
Mr Thornton will spend some time at St Aidan's before the summer holidays start. A school spokesperson said he does not want to be considered for the role permanently and it will be recruiting for another headteacher.
