Thank you for your interest in becoming our Assistant Headteacher - Behaviour and Culture. We are looking for a committed leader who can secure high expectations, positive relationships and disruption-free learning across our school, ensuring every student can thrive and every teacher can teach with confidence.

Litcham School, part of the Synergy Multi-Academy Trust, is an inclusive and community-focused school serving children aged 4-16 through our all-through provision. We are proud of our warm, family ethos and our commitment to knowing every child as an individual, while maintaining high expectations for behaviour, conduct and attitudes to learning. As a Trust, Synergy champions collaboration, shared expertise and equitable opportunities for all, offering access to strong leadership networks and professional development.

We are on a positive and focused improvement journey centred around consistency, high standards and strong daily routines, ensuring that every student can learn, and every teacher can teach, free from disruption.

Synergy Multi Academy Trust

Litcham School is an ‘all through’ school which is one of 15 schools within Synergy Multi Academy Trust. Other Synergy secondary schools are Reepham High School & College, Sheringham High School and Stalham High School. Synergy MAT grew significantly in September 2021 when the North Norfolk Academies Trust (NNAT) merged with Synergy. Synergy already enjoys effective and productive trust wide collaboration, which is particularly strong in its primary schools, and the merger has paved the way for the next stage of collaboration between secondary schools. We expect being part of this collaboration will offer excellent opportunities for professional development at all levels, but particularly at Senior Leadership level. This enhanced collaboration is now in its second year. To find out more about Synergy MAT, please visit its website www.synergymat.org.uk
