What skills and experience we're looking for

The successful candidate should possess strong communication, teamwork, and caring skills. It is essential to demonstrate the ability to make quick decisions regarding when to intervene to prevent children from injuring themselves or others, or when to refer cases of unruly behaviour to the Principal.

Desirable qualities include knowledge of basic hygiene procedures and appropriate knowledge of First Aid. A willingness to obtain and/or enhance qualifications and training is required. A satisfactory DBS check is mandatory.

What the school offers its staff

Our school, affectionately known as Portland Palace, is more than a place of learning—it's a community and a second home. As Principal, I promise our students academically strong, kind, expert teachers and caring pastoral staff; they deserve nothing less than the best.

Located in the heart of Worksop, we serve a diverse and vibrant community. We are one of the most oversubscribed schools in the region, chosen by families for our strong pastoral care, high standards, and exceptional culture of learning.

Our mission places students at the centre of every decision. We are driven by the belief that our children should feel safe, loved, and seen. We are recognised nationally for both our ethos and culture and as an IQM School of Excellence.

If you're considering joining us, know that Portland is more than just a “Good” school; it’s a place where people matter, success is shared, and joy is found. We would love to welcome you to be a part of this special community.

Further information about the job

The candidate will be required to undergo a full enhanced DBS check and must be eligible to work in the UK.
Visas cannot be sponsored.

We are a welcoming and supportive academy, with a relentless determination to provide the very best education for every child. We place students at the centre of everything we do, with a focus on creating a culture of success and a positive climate for learning.  We have an exceptional culture and student behaviour which is recognised by being a host school for the Exemplary Leadership Programme. 

‘Overwhelmingly, staff are upbeat about the school. They value the positive changes in the school’s culture. They appreciate training opportunities. They welcome steps to make their workload more manageable. Staff morale is positive and they are very proud to be part of the school.’ - Ofsted, November 2024.

We have created an educational environment where staff and students constantly strive to improve; where teachers sharpen their skills and expand their repertoires to deliver an outstanding learning experience; and where teachers, classroom assistants, mentors, tutors, inclusion support assistants and students operate as a seamless team. This enables everybody, staff and students, to not only see but also help fulfil the potential in each other.

We believe our success speaks for itself as we are above the national average for the number of students achieving at a Grade 5 or above in English & maths GCSEs. We are also proud to have been awarded Bronze Status by the Carnegie Centre of Excellence for Mental Health Award.

We work hard to ensure we reduce workload on staff, allowing more time in the classroom to put our vision of students first, raising standards and transforming lives into practice.

All academies within the Outwood Family have gained the IQM Inclusive Schools Award with 18 having Centre of Excellence status and one holding Flagship status.

If you share our vision, join our family.
