What skills and experience we're looking for

An ambitious and dedicated Assistant Headteacher is required to lead Teaching and Learning within the school, raising standards by implementing and monitoring a diverse curriculum allowing pupils to discover their talents, achieve meaningful qualifications, and develop the skills they need for a successful future. This is a non-teaching position.

Interest is very much encouraged from talented middle or senior leaders with a passion for high quality teaching along with the ability inspire and engage staff and pupils.

Applications are welcomed from both primary and secondary trained candidates from either a specialist or mainstream (primary or secondary) education background.
