What skills and experience we're looking for
Wollaston School rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted May 2023
Assistant Headteacher - Behaviour & Culture (Required For January 2026 —Permanent Position—L11 to L15)
Following the promotion of the previous post holder, this is an exciting opportunity to lead the school to secure exceptional standards of behaviour from every student, regardless of their background or circumstance. This will be achieved through a relentless focus on our core values of Kindness, Community and Ambition—making these a lived reality and “baked in” to everything that we do as a school.
We already have a positive community of committed staff, students and parents and we share an aspiration for even further success. This is an excellent opportunity to achieve something incredibly special, as you define and create a culture which empowers students to realise their dreams through meaningful engagement with every aspect of school life.
Wollaston School enjoys an excellent local reputation and was judged to be ‘Good’ at its most recent inspection. Our students achieve well in public examinations with record breaking years both pre and post pandemic. We are oversubscribed in applications to join our Year 7 and have a successful Sixth Form which attracts an increasing number of external candidates. We are committed to providing a genuine breadth of curriculum which inspires children of all abilities and interests.
We are naturally very proud of our achievements, but are ambitious to become even better. We are aiming to recruit a person who will help to make Wollaston a truly exceptional school. A school where every single student who walks through our doors behaves in a way which adds value to our school, because they feel belonging, happiness and fulfilment.
