What skills and experience we're looking for
Running a school is the greatest privilege in the world.
It is an exciting opportunity for a talented senior leader or existing headteacher to develop new skills and leave a lasting legacy which will impact the UK education system and beyond.
Reach Academy Feltham opened in September 2012 as a Free School and grew year-by-year. Our original Reception cohort completed their GCSEs last year and are now in our sixth form.
We have a co-headteacher model because we recognise that running an all-through school is complex. We want you to have a partner to support and challenge you. You are responsible for the day-to-day running of the secondary phases of the school and they are responsible for the primary phases. There are other all-through responsibilities such as safeguarding and finances which you jointly share.
We believe in hiring exceptional people and giving them autonomy to run their school. We also know that collaboration is powerful and relationships drive our work.
This role could suit someone new to headship or someone more experienced who is looking for a chance to really stretch themselves and explore what is possible in education.
What the school offers its staff
Everyone at Reach Schools believes—passionately and immovably—that every child can and should go on to enjoy lives of choice and opportunity. This core belief drives everything we do. We draw purpose from it, it provides us with a shared vision for every child we work with, and it fuels our tenacity to work together to make it so. We have the most brilliant, kind and passionate team you could ever wish to work with or have your child grow into adulthood under the guidance of. We are up for doing exciting things, taking calculated risks, and championing the children who need it the most.
We care deeply about our entire team. In order to take care of our students, we need to take care of one another. For this reason, Reach Schools offer great employee benefits throughout the year:
- Flexible Working A diverse workforce with work-life balance is crucial for our school's stability. If you need to adjust your schedule for personal commitments or seek part-time or hybrid working, don’t hesitate to let us know.
- Enhanced maternity pay Reach Schools value families and community relationships. For this reason, we aim to be a support system for staff who are on maternity leave.
- Free Friday breakfast On Fridays we show our appreciation to one another as a staff team with encouraging shout-outs and delicious pastries.
