Join our caring and dedicated pastoral team as a Head of Year. With a passion for supporting students combined with strong behaviour management skills, you can guide our students and help them achieve the best possible outcome. Our aim is to ensure that our students are given every opportunity to reach their full potential, regardless of their background. With this in mind, we are looking to appoint a Head of Year who will respond to behaviour issues across the school, acting as a trusted adult and a positive role model, whilst providing consistent boundaries.
The Head of Year will work alongside the pastoral and teaching teams to help create a positive learning environment that is supportive and nurturing.

Why us?

All our values are based upon the values of the Co-op Group, which will inform our behaviours.
Self-help: We do not expect to be spoon fed – we will try to do things for ourselves in the right way and at the right time.
Self-responsibility: Everyone should act in a responsible way around the academy site and in the local community. We take responsibility for our own learning; we want to become independent learners.
Equality: We are proud to be part of a very multicultural academy, with students from all over the world; it is important that we treat each other with respect and accept that others may be different from ourselves. We should all of us have equal chances to succeed.
Equity: We want to look for the best in each other. Rewarding others fairly to encourage all types of achievement.
Democracy: We will contribute our ideas to make the academy a success.
Solidarity: We can achieve more by working together, rather than as individuals.
