Seva school has 521 pupils in total (just 255 in the secondary school), with a future PAN of 1020. Essentially, it is akin to a large year group in an established school right now. As such, we do not have heads of department in the secondary school; many of our subjects consist of just one teacher (art, history, geography etc). So, this role is unusual – you will not be line managing subject teams but single teacher departments.
The school will benefit from new builds and refurbishments in the very near future;
contractors have been appointed and will soon be on site. First to be built is a state-of-the art 3G sports pitch, in addition to 2 new MUGAs. Secondly, a superb, new 3-court Sports Centre will be built and following this, a building which is currently empty will be
refurbished, becoming our secondary school. Finally, our current building will be
refurbished and become our new primary school.
As the school grows in the next few years, we will start to appoint middle leaders and a Head of Secondary School. Promotion is ripe for the right people. Seva School serves a highly academic and aspirational student body; we have very supportive parents who work in close partnership with us. We are supported by professional and highly engaged trustees. Behaviour issues are rare; this is a school where you can really teach – our students are delightful and they deserve the very best.
