What skills and experience we're looking for
Hastings High School is a mainstream secondary school that meets the needs of all pupils, regardless of needs, to ensure that all pupils make the best possible progress. At Hastings High School we recognise that all pupils must be given the opportunity to reach their full potential; “The best for every child”. We aim to provide “Care and Excellence for all” by supporting each and every person in our care. We understand that, at times, pupils may have a need to access alternative education as mainstream school isn’t working for them at that time. We are committed to continually reevaluating the needs of our pupils; looking at different avenues of educational provision to meet those pupils needs. We are creating a new Internal Alternative Provision at Hastings and are looking to recruit an enthusiastic and highly motivated teaching assistant (or Learning Support Assistant, depending on experience) to join our Alternative Provision team. We have a clear understanding of what we are looking for in the staff we appoint. If you have a desire to work hard, want to transform lives, can use your own initiative, have a good sense of humour and want to be part of a dynamic team, then you could be the person that we are looking. You could be part of our Hastings Family.

During our latest OFSTED inspection, we were very proud that our Hastings Family and CARES values were recognised as being central to all that we provide.

Our Progress 8 score is significantly above the national average. These continuing improvements are attributed to our focus on the basics: an orderly climate for learning, engaging teaching, and building positive relationships with all stakeholders.

The school was judged ‘Good’ at our last Ofsted inspection. We are committed to further improvement to ensure that we provide “Care and Excellence for All”.
The school has had significant investment in the last 12 months to build 8 new classrooms, a sports hall alongside redevelopment of the canteen and main pastoral areas. This will enable us to take extra pupils starting with a cohort of 200 in Year 7 in Autumn 2025.
We have a strong academic record with each of the previous 4 years having achieved a Progress 8 score “above average”, achieving a score of +0.40 last year. Our predictions for the future year groups are that they will exceed this. These continuing improvements are down to our focus on the basics; an orderly climate for learning, engaging teaching and building positive relationships with all stakeholders.
We have a comprehensive induction programme for new staff to help you settle in and provide very high levels of support. We are a school which strives to bring out the best in our staff by investing heavily in staff development and wellbeing.
