Beacon Academy is recruiting an Assistant Principal to join our remodeled leadership team with a specific remit to develop the quality of teaching and learning in the school. You will work closely with the Principal, Vice Principal and SENCO on creating systems, structure and routines that result in high quality teaching and learning across the Academy. Once in place, you would be part of the quality assurance team to ensure practice is strong and to support the development of others.
There is much to do, but you would be well supported. The successful applicant will be supported by being part of a quality of education team within the SLT and by a Trust wide network along with the opportunity to visit and work with other schools to witness best practice and use that experience to develop others at Beacon Academy.
This post would be an excellent opportunity for both someone currently in a leadership team or for someone who is ready to be part of the wider school Leadership Team and part of Beacon Academy’s drive for improvement.
We are a small school and so it is possible to develop strong relationships. To support this we have introduced a new coaching group approach for staff and students in September. Our students are enthusiastic and enjoy interactive lessons from passionate teachers, they respond well to strong trusting relationships with staff. Having recently appointed new leaders at the academy, Beacon has a renewed focus on student development, both academically and in personal growth. We are about to embark on new and innovative strategies in school so this would be an exciting time to join the team.
We encourage any applicant to come and visit the school or to book an informal phone conversation about this role with an appropriate member of the leadership team. Please feel free to contact the PA to the Principal, Olivia Sakseide on hr@beaconacademy.co.uk to arrange a suitable time.
If you are as excited by this challenge, as we are, and you think this might be the role for you, please apply by following the link below, having taken note of the attachments, by 9.00am on Friday 10th October 2025. We would expect interviews to take place during the following week.
The School has adopted the principles of Safer Recruitment and will safeguard and promote the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to do the same.
