Assistant Principal job summary
We are looking for an ambitious and inspiring Assistant Principal to join our supportive and talented team at John Cabot Academy. This Assistant Principal position is required on a one-year fixed term basis to cover maternity leave.
The Academy welcomes applications from candidates interested in the role on a part-time or Job share basis.
The vision for John Cabot academy is to create an Academy where professional learning is what stimulates staff and enables our students to develop a lifelong love of learning. It is one where strong pastoral systems provide the boundaries and safety which allow our students to develop their sense of self and place and leave us with self agency. Finally it is one where we provide moment of awe and wonder for our students. This could occur in a lesson one Friday afternoon or on a trip canoeing in France – but they are the moments which students remember, which cause ‘lightbulbs’ to go off, which develop their sense of self, and ultimately can change the course of their lives.
Your opportunity:
We can offer you the opportunity to advance your career within a supportive academy environment. We provide excellent training and development opportunities within the Federation, including a full induction programme for newly qualified and experienced teachers. Training is both local and/or delivered through our excellent stand-alone training facility at the CLF Institute. For teachers, the CLF Institute aims to provide a continuum of development through each career stage from initial teacher training (ITT), for newly qualified teachers (NQT), recently qualified teachers in their early career development, to successive stages of leadership through to Headship and beyond.
What we are looking for:
An enthusiastic, positive professional who is committed to supporting all children to achieve and enjoy learning, within our community of learners
An experienced, well-organised professional who is committed to working alongside and leading others to realise the vision for learning at John Cabot Academy and ensure excellence for all
Someone that will be excited about providing, demonstrating and facilitating a love of learning for life
This exciting opportunity offers the chance to undertake an Assistant Principal role within the Cabot Learning Federation. You will work positively with the Principal and Vice Principal to identify priorities and opportunities for academy improvement that support the achievement of outstanding outcomes. You will also lead on the delivery of one of an academy’s strategic aims and rigorously ensure that the academy’s systems are working smoothly and effectively on a day to day basis.
You will be an inspiring leader who, through leading by example, will promote high expectations and support the delivery of high attainment for all students. You will be an effective team player who is dynamic, creative and able to play a significant role in the strategic direction and development of the academy.
