Dear Candidate

Thank you for the interest you have shown in applying for the post of Deputy Head/Head of Education in our very special school.

The Governing Body of Bowden House School wish to appoint a new Deputy Head who is dynamic, inspirational and has the vision and passion to use their skills, knowledge and experience in an SEMH setting.

Bowden House School is maintained by the London Borough of Tower Hamlets and provides specialist, residential education and care for boys between the ages of 9 – 16+ years. The school is situated between Brighton and Eastbourne, East Sussex and moved to its current site in June 2012 enjoying exceptional teaching resources and separate accommodation facilities including an Independence Unit for Years 12 & 13. Most students are subjects of an EHC Plan which identifies their social, emotional and mental health difficulties and how these have impacted upon their education within mainstream or specialist day provision. Students can be admitted on an assessment basis or where there is the risk of exclusion. There is also provision for students to attend on a daily basis if they live local to the school.
Bowden House School is supported by an active Governing Body and the Local Authority and we believe this should be a thrilling and stimulating challenge.

As a residential school, Bowden House is subject to annual Ofsted Welfare inspections and successive inspections from 2018 – 2022 have been awarded as Outstanding - an achievement we are naturally very proud.

The application pack contains additional information which expands on how the staff work together; how the whole school approach to learning has a significant impact on student outcomes both academically and socially and how all associated with Bowden House School aim to improve the life chances of our students and equip them with the skills to face the demands of adult life.

I hope that you will take the opportunity to visit our website where you will find a range of information about our school, our staff team and our students.

I strongly advise all candidates to visit the school where you will receive a warm welcome and have a tour of the school and residential areas.

This is an exciting and rewarding challenge - we look forward to receiving your application.

Yours sincerely

Wendy Phillips
Chair of Governors
