What skills and experience we're looking for
The Assistant Headteacher will work independently and alongside SLT, in particular the Senior Deputy Headteacher and the Assistant Headteacher for Academic Inclusion, to define, articulate and implement the school’s vision and values.
The Assistant Headteacher will work in close partnership with the Senior Leadership Team, SENCo, parents/carers, Governors and external agencies to improve, maintain and monitor high standards of Teaching, Learning and Assessment (TLA) across the school.
We believe that all students can and should achieve excellent outcomes and that this can only be achieved in a calm and purposeful environment where the school community cares and respects each other and approaches all opportunities for learning with a positive attitude and a drive to engage fully in all aspects of learning. Good practice is good practice for all and the AHT for TLA will be the strategic lead for specific aspects of TLA, developing practices which enable all students to access our standard educational provision and achieve in line with their peers of the same ability profile or starting point.
The AHT will demonstrate passion for quality first teaching and a firm belief that it is the most effective way to ensure that all students learn and progress.
As a leader, the AHT will be inquisitive, and research driven with a critical mind, seeking ways to remove barriers to learning without removing opportunities, and scrutinising data to enable careful planning for success. Delivering high quality training for staff, which advocates reasonable adjustment through adaptive teaching strategies, will be essential as will strategic deployment of resources.
All members of the Senior Leadership Team are expected to be flexible to ensure the most effective organisation and delivery of learning. Other specific duties and responsibilities as part of the Senior Leadership Team are allocated on a needs basis.
