Following the current post holder leaving for a promotion, we are looking for an inspirational Assistant Headteacher to join our team at Seaton Valley High School. You will work closely with the Head of School and the Senior Leadership in driving forward our school at a genuinely exciting time.
Within our schools we have a strong sense of purpose and are strongly committed to the achievement of every student. We aim to provide quality education in a safe and caring environment, giving all of our students the opportunity to achieve their full potential.
The successful candidate will personally have a key role in providing strategic leadership, working collaboratively to ensure strategies and systems across the school. Your track record of contributing at a strategic level to school improvement will also show your ability to work in partnership with a range of stakeholders to achieve desired outcomes and impact.
Although it is important that you can think strategically, you will also need to adopt a hands-on approach to deal with the diverse demands of school life and have highly developed communication skills to build effective relationships with students, parents, staff and our community. If you have a passion for education then this is a fantastic opportunity to make a significant contribution to the federation and become an integral part of our future success.
Seaton Valley High School benefits from a strong sense of community where every student is known and valued. Students embrace our core expectations: be ready, be respectful, be safe. These values are deeply embedded in everyday school life, helping to create a calm, purposeful learning environment where all students thrive.
Who We Are Looking For: We believe that every student deserves the chance to succeed, and we are looking for a dedicated Assistant Headteacher to help us make that happen. If you share our values and want to become part of a school that puts students and learning at the heart of everything we do, we would love to hear from you.
Visits to the school are also warmly welcomed and encouraged. Please contact us by email at vacancies@svf.org.uk to make an appointment.
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff to share this commitment. An enhanced criminal records check is required for this post.
