• capable of promoting partnerships and collaborative working in our school, across the Abingdon Learning Trust and in the wider Abingdon teaching community.
• a role model for our pupils and students, and staff.
• a professional focus on inclusion, ensuring that the learning experience is positive and engaging for all.
• active in working to develop their own teaching and leadership practice.
In return we will offer you:
• the support and satisfaction of being part of a dynamic and creative team
• leadership support from effective and experienced staff.
• pupils and students who have a desire to achieve and respect the expectations in the trust schools.
• a programme of supported induction and continuing professional development firmly rooted in educational research.
• a commitment to supporting the well-being of all staff.
