What does it mean to be a leader at Gladstone Park?

We don’t sit still. We get stuck in. And we believe in being 1% better every day.

Gladstone Park is a school with energy, ambition and heart, and we are looking for an Assistant Headteacher who wants to be right at the centre of it. Someone who is visible, hands-on and relentlessly focused on making things better for children. Someone who will notice what needs doing and do something about it; who will challenge us, contribute ideas and bring others with them; and who understands that great leadership is as much about rolling up your sleeves as it is about setting direction.

We are proud of what we have achieved, but we are not interested in standing still. We want a leader who is excited by that: someone who is curious, reflective and ambitious for themselves, their colleagues and every child in our community. If you want to work somewhere where people care deeply, work hard, laugh often, back one another and are always asking “how can we make this 1% better?”, you might just be our person.
