What skills and experience we're looking for
Our school community is looking for a deputy headteacher who is approachable, compassionate, collaborative, child centred and is passionate about SEND. You will have a passion for educating children with Autism and will use your experience to work in a special school that staff, students and the local community are proud of. Your journey to transformative leadership starts with this exciting opportunity to join our Trust. We are making considerable investment in achieving ‘excellence’ in all that we do and this includes our people.
Our young people at Churchill Special Free School need personal support particularly at points of transition and change. They need a deputy headteacher who will help them realise their ambitions for independence, academically and socially, fostering some much needed self confidence in themselves and pride in becoming positive contributors to their own chosen communities. You will be a senior leader with a track record and understanding of outstanding provision and can demonstrate excellent leadership and managerial skills. These will be complemented by good interpersonal skills along with successful inter-agency working. Your understanding of the curriculum and assessment for children with autism will be essential. You will deepen our clear vision for the school and what will set you apart will be your commitment to achieving high standards of teaching and learning, attendance and outcomes for students with autism.
Churchill Special Free School educates children and young people from year 4 to year 11 (aged 8 – 16) and sometime post 16 up to year 13 (aged 18) with our fellow secondary school Samuel Ward Academy who we share a site with. All of our children will have an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) constructed through joined up multi-agency support and co-operation. It is important to belong at work and the work you do is relied upon by our pupils, so even small positive differences which are made, make people very happy.
