Are you an innovative and ambitious senior leader?

Are you looking for an exciting and rewarding opportunity to work with a team of exceptional educational professionals, and lead the newest addition to our Trust family?

Our Opportunity

This is a rewarding Headship; you will lead our coastal school onto the next stage of our journey within our new Trust, and by incorporating a clear vision for the future development of our school, plan what that journey might look like. This is an excellent opportunity to provide strategic leadership and direction in a school with a supportive team of staff and a Trust history of robust leadership. We want our dynamic, energetic and driven Headteacher working towards all students achieving the best possible outcomes whilst maintaining the highest levels of staff and student wellbeing.

We can offer you:

  • Significant levels of support from Coast and Vale Learning Trust, through our Central Improvement Team, who are relentless in their work to improve and transform our schools.
  • A school improvement partnership model which will allow you to thrive within our Trust as Headteacher.
  • As well as being committed to your ongoing development and training we also offer a range of employee benefits including a competitive salary, access to the Teachers Pension scheme, an employee assistance programme as well as a variety of retail discounts.
  • Relocation assistance and competitive remuneration package of up to £8,000.

About You

The successful applicant must be able to demonstrate a proven record of success working with secondary age children, have recent school leadership experience, either as an existing Headteacher or Deputy Head and be committed to providing the children with a high-quality education and environment. Experience working with challenging behaviour is advantageous.

You will:

  • Be a committed leader with excellent interpersonal skills who can motivate and manage all stakeholders, effectively shaping and delivering the strategic plan.
  • Demonstrate superb leadership skills with ability to challenge robustly and constructively.
  • Be someone who recognises the importance of maintaining the school’s existing values while instilling their own leadership and identity.
  • Be an outstanding teaching practitioner able to set and achieve ambitious goals and continually seek to raise standards and promote our vision, values and aims in a way that is relevant and inspiring to all.
  • Be able to provide excellent and robust staff management.
  • Have progressive IT skills and a deep understanding of the significance and importance of consistent data monitoring.
  • Consider and shape how we can adapt our practices innovatively to promote and enhance the wellbeing of our staff team.
  • Demonstrate an understanding of the needs of young people, social, physical and emotional alongside educational needs, and ensure that the school provides a rounded provision to nurture them.
  • Show practical knowledge and experience in raising standards.
  • Be a strategic thinker able to plan long, medium and short term.
  • Be able to review our financial resources and look at how we invest in our school.
  • Have a continuing drive to reflect, learn and strive for positive development, for themselves, their staff team, the children and our school as a whole.
  • Be someone who is capable of and confident in making difficult decisions and ask challenging questions in order to seek the best possible outcome for our school as a whole.
