Contract: Permanent

As a community that develops personal growth, excellence and achievement for all, we are incredibly proud of everything the school has become and what we have achieved in the last few years: our well-rounded young people who have gone on to purposeful and challenging further education, some of the best GCSE results in the county and our recent Ofsted report.

We are also hugely proud of our staff who are relentlessly hardworking, supportive of one another and passionately committed to securing the best possible life chances for the young people we serve.

We pride ourselves on high expectations of students, recognising and rewarding students for getting it right every day, being at the forefront of latest research, ensuring nothing but the best for our pupils and staff. We have a restorative justice approach to managing student behaviour and always believe that a young person can bounce back from a mistake and transform their behaviour.

We are seeking an individual with a fervent passion for supporting young people to be the best they can possibly be and with a ‘do whatever it takes’ attitude. You should be prepared to challenge and support our students as and when required.

This role is an exciting opportunity for you to join our pastoral team and help further our vision. You will be Head of one year group or two year groups depending on their position within the school. It will require huge amounts of perseverance and a constant drive for innovative excellence but will also be incredibly rewarding and will offer exciting progression for the future.
