What skills and experience we're looking for
Due to the increase in our school roll, we are seeking an outstanding Assistant Headteacher to join our Senior Leadership Team.
This is a exciting role which will give you the opportunity to work closely with the Principal, Head of School and Assistant Headteachers already in post, and assume responsibility for important aspects of strategy and operation.
We are seeking someone who is creative, enthusiastic and resilient and who has a strong desire to achieve the best possible outcomes for the students of The Cowplain School. You must be someone who is comfortable in making decisions and be confident and decisive, backing your judgement and following through on the decisions that you make.
You should combine an academic ambition with a commitment to supporting our young people and it is essential you engage with the three strands of our curriculum which focus on diversity, developing character and thinking hard. In addition, we expect you to buy into the vision for our existing and well-established policies and strategies regarding teaching and learning and behaviour, looking to develop and enhance them further.
The exact roles and responsibilities of the position will be discussed with the successful candidate but are likely to focus on teaching and learning, CPD, data, and behaviour, amongst other areas of school improvement. Of most interest to us are your dynamic leadership skills that demonstrate experience of school improvement, likely to have been achieved through successful middle leadership.
You should see this role as a significant step towards further promotion within senior leadership, which we would expect you to assume relatively quickly after a steep learning curve, and be extremely ambitious for the students of The Cowplain School.
What the school offers its staff
As a leader and teacher at Cowplain we would invest in you to ensure that you develop the skills and expertise needed to develop your leadership skills and expertise. There is the opportunity to work in a supportive school with an experienced and knowledgeable SLT which would help you continue your leadership journey. As a teacher, you will find a well-resourced school, with all classrooms equipped with projector and screen, whilst everyone receives a laptop. We offer all members of staff a full induction programme and significant opportunities to develop their expertise. Colleagues at the school work together to support each other and we have an active wellbeing committee.
