WE ARE A “GOOD’ SCHOOL” (Ofsted March 2017)
We are seeking an exceptional, inspirational and hard-working individual to join our well- established and highly effective senior leadership team.
The person appointed will be principally responsible for leading on all aspects of Continuing Professional Learning and the further development of our already well-established approach to effective teaching.
In common with all SLT at George Green’s, the successful candidate will also contribute to all aspects of both long-term planning and the day-to-day management of the school – and will themselves be an outstandingly effective teacher.
Our school is a values-driven organisation. Our overriding ambition is to be an exceptional school, characterised by high expectations, inclusion and anti-racism. We want every young person at our school to live happy, safe and economically secure lives. We expect every one of our students to be a change-maker, with an uncompromising commitment to social justice. Everybody who works at George Green’s School believes in our mission to teach our students to be the best possible people they can be.
We are a UNICEF Rights Respecting School Gold award winner, which means that the rights of the child are at the heart of everything we do. We already have very high levels of academic success, with excellent exam outcomes in Key Stage 4 and 5, and we are restless for further improvement. We are a traditional school with a traditional approach to curriculum and behaviour. Most importantly, we are a happy school, where children from a wide mixture of backgrounds thrive and flourish on a daily basis.
We want our students to be the best people they can be, so only the best is good enough for them.
We are seeking an Assistant Headteacher who will be able to demonstrate the following:
• A complete and unwavering understanding of and commitment to the George Green’s School values and the power of education as a tool for social transformation
• Outstandingly strong teaching skills, with high levels of expertise in pedagogy, learning and teaching
• An understanding of and absolute commitment to furthering the personal growth of all members of the school community, students as well as staff.
• A wealth of experience of direct relevance to the post.
Aside from an opportunity to transform lives, a career at George Green’s School has many other benefits. These include:
• A first-class CPL programme, including dedicated weekly CPL sessions and the opportunity to take part in NPQ programmes at a senior level.
• A large post-16 cohort, offering a wide range of both A Level and Vocational courses.
• Embedded strategies for supporting the work-life balance of staff.
• Excellent amenities on site, including a gym, secure cycle storage and free parking.
• A fantastic and convenient London location.
If you believe that you are the exceptional candidate we are seeking for our exceptional school, we would love to hear from you.
