Assistant Headteacher job summary
Job Title: Assistant Headteacher (Curriculum & Progress)
Location: High Peak site, 25 High Street, Chapel-en-le-Frith, SK23 0HD, with regular travel to the school’s other sites.
Grade/Scale: L8 to L12 Actual Salary £50,151 to £55,338
Start date: September 2021
Contract: Full time Teacher
The North East Derbyshire Support Centre is an AP Academy providing programmes of education to students identified as being at risk of exclusion, or who have already been permanently excluded from mainstream education. We meet the varied and complex needs of children in Key Stages 2, 3 and 4, at sites located in Chesterfield and in the High Peak.
We are seeking an experienced and inspirational leader to join our Senior Leadership Team in a role crucial to the future development of the school. We are looking for someone with vision and drive, and a proven track record of successful leadership.
Ideally, you will be familiar with alternative provision or have experience of working with challenging behaviours and complex needs. Either way, we are looking for an energetic and flexible individual who is capable of modelling strong relationships and upholding high standards of behaviour. Our future Assistant Headteacher needs to be a self-starter; highly motivated and capable of working independently, whilst capable of leading highly successful teams.
The role has two key strands; the strategic oversight of curriculum and progress for all pupils and sites, and the leadership and management of the High Peak site in Chapel-en-le-Frith. Both strands of the role are of equal importance, and candidates should consider all aspects of the job description when applying. At site level, the Assistant Headteacher will lead and manage the High Peak staff team, the site’s education offer, and deal with matters as they arise on a day-to-day basis, including the behaviour of pupils and parental engagement. At whole-school level, the Assistant Headteacher will strategically lead on curriculum development and implementation, building on the school’s existing mastery curriculum at KS3 and broad education offer at KS4. The successful candidate will also oversee assessment practice and monitor the progress of pupils against local and national standards, using a range of assessment measures including our own holistic measure of pupil progress.
This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious leader who is heading towards Headship, given the level of independent working and decision-making, and the importance of the role’s whole-school portfolio.
Benefits include: Teachers Pension Scheme, Westfield Health membership and free parking.
