Assistant Headteacher job summary
Chantry Community Primary School is looking to appoint a permanent Assistant Headteacher to join the Senior Leadership Team. This is a great opportunity for a middle leader who is ready to step up into senior leadership and make a significant contribution to our school or an existing senior leader who wants to experience a different school. We are very open to discussion in terms of what a potential candidate can bring to our school in terms of leadership areas.
Chantry Primary School is proud to belong to the Beyond Schools Trust (10 schools across Medway and Kent) which enables support and collaboration with a large team to happen regularly. We are a 2-form entry primary school with a nursery on site, situated in central Gravesend, close to main travel routes including the train station which is only a 10 minute walk away. There is a large secure car park on our school site. The school was a total new build in 2019 and the facilities are good with spacious grounds for a town school including field, garden area, 2 playgrounds and a MUGA.
The successful candidate will be warmly received into the existing SLT structure and will be supported to develop their skills and knowledge to be the best they can be. Expectations are high at Chantry and we will expect the appointed staff member to wholly embrace our vision of inspiring outstanding learning and ensuring the highest quality educational experiences for our pupils and supporting our excellent vibe (which many visitors to the school comment on).
With a successful track record of teaching and working as a leader in some capacity, you should have experience of leading change and initiating and implementing improvements with demonstrable impact.
In return, we will offer you:
An incredibly supportive group of colleagues and leaders
Comprehensive induction programme with a commitment to CPD
Care First employee assistance programme
Non-contributory membership of Benenden Private Health Care Cover
Membership of the Teachers’ Pension Scheme
Two-week half term in October
