We are seeking to recruit an inspiring, organised and student‑focused Head of Year to join our pastoral team. This pivotal role blends pastoral leadership with high expectations, ensuring every student feels supported, challenged and able to thrive in our 'Inclusive and vibrant' school (OFSTED 2024).

You’ll lead a year group with clarity and compassion, drive attendance and behaviour standards, work closely with families, and collaborate with staff to create a culture where students flourish both academically and personally.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who is passionate about making a difference to our students' personal development. If you are considering moving into a pastoral leadership position or looking to expand your leadership knowledge, then we’d love to hear from you. The successful applicant will be an inspirational forward thinker with a focus on developing exciting and engaging learning experiences and have a belief in our ‘can do’ culture where anything is possible.

It is a very exciting time to join our school and Trust as we moved into our brand new, state of the art school in September 2024. The school offers an extremely well-structured curriculum which ensures all students have an entitlement to achieve their best and a fantastic educational experience.

Kineton High School is an oversubscribed, diverse mixed 11-18 comprehensive with approximately 1100 pupils on roll (180 in the Sixth Form). Our aim at Kineton is to put students at the heart of everything. We want them to develop the confidence, skills and qualifications to ensure that they are happy and successful. It also has an exceptional extra-curricular offer including after school clubs and revision as well as incredible trips and memorable experiences.

We offer:

• Excellent career development opportunities
• An environment where there are positive relationships between students and staff
• Strong CPD and training offer
• Staff Health and Well-Being Service (provided by Education Mutual)

 

We are part of the growing Stowe Valley Multi Academy Trust; this has enhanced our ability to offer inspirational and supportive leadership and CPD for all of our staff.

 

This is an excellent opportunity to join an ambitious and successful school. We welcome colleagues who really want to make a difference to the lives of young people and who share in our passion for engaging students in learning and inspiring them to achieve. If you can motivate and inspire students and have high expectations of them and yourself, then we would love to hear from you.

We would welcome visits to the school prior to application. Please contact Mrs Sarah Langridge-Edmunds (Head's PA) in the first instance.
