What skills and experience we're looking for
The Governors of Roundhay School are looking to recruit an inspirational, dedicated, innovative and ambitious Head Of Year to lead and inspire a year group; building an ethos of hard work, responsibility and respect.
The successful candidate will make a strong and enthusiastic commitment to the teaching at Roundhay School by seeking to raise the expectations and performance of all pupils both in and outside the classroom and will be willing to do ‘whatever it takes’ to ensure our pupils/students reach their full potential.
The successful candidate will be passionate about securing the highest standards of behaviour and uniform. They will be high profile around school, care deeply about our pupils, and work proactively to build strong relationships, ensuring that ‘barriers to learning’ are removed. We know that this role is essential in pupils living our values of being Responsible, Resilient, Ready to learn and ultimately ‘Recognisably Roundhay’ as well as achieving excellent academic outcomes: A key reason why Ofsted recently described Roundhay as ‘an exceptional school’.
It is intended that the successful candidate will work with our new Year 7 cohort from September 2025. The summer term will be used to support effective transition activities, so it is not intended that a formal curriculum teaching timetable will be in place at this time.
