Assistant Principal job summary
If you have an unrelenting determination to deliver the very best outcomes for students and relish the prospect of being an influential senior leader, then apply for this post now!
Why come to Latimer?
Well, our new Assistant Principal would be taking up a golden opportunity to join a school where the strengths and talents of students and staff are extremely valued and where the culture of being happy and safe means students can, and do, enjoy being at school (Ofsted February 2018).
The Latimer Arts College really is a fantastic school to work in: as a result of our success and popularity we are over-subscribed and have a very strong positive reputation. On interview we ask candidates for their impressions of the College and without fail they comment on how wonderful our students are, the supportive team ethos amongst staff and how friendly and welcoming the College is.
We are a tight-knit unit striving for the very best for our students and we are focussed on, and passionate about, learning and success.
We genuinely care about our staff, their well-being and their professional development: we are a happy team, committed to working collaboratively and sharing the very best practice. This was very much recognised in our last Ofsted Inspection and since then we have continued to grow in strength.
Our Assistant Principal Role
We are passionate about our vision for personal success for our students. Therefore, we need leaders with the ambition, talent and capacity to deliver this.
If this is you then we would love to hear from you!
Our College is successful, popular and over-subscribed: we have rapidly grown in recent times and our year groups are full!
We are determined to nurture our students through and out of the pandemic with no educational disadvantage: we do not want to dwell on ‘curriculum recovery’ and ‘catch-up’ and create a ‘Covid Lost Generation’. We want to look forward, to continue to nurture our fundamental belief that anything is possible and to ensure that we equip our students with everything that they need to achieve this.
Therefore, the governors have taken the decision that the time is right to expand the Senior Leadership Team so that we can be true to our word! Currently the team consists of five leaders (Principal, Vice Principal, three Assistant Principals): we are seeking to appoint an Assistant Principal and increase the team to six.
The role for our new Assistant Principal is not defined: as a team we have a great range of skills and experiences and our aim would be to match our new Senior Leader to their area of expertise. We are open and flexible to considering shaping roles in different ways for the right candidate!
Whether you are currently in a leadership role or looking to make the next step-up in your career, this post is an excellent opportunity for you to really make a difference on your journey to headship.
