What skills and experience we're looking for
Overall Purpose: To support the strategic leadership of the school by providing effective leadership and management of school strategy, in the broad area of Inclusion, specifically Pupil Premium, SEND, Looked After and Previously Looked After Children and Student Mental Wellbeing. In addition, to lead a specific strand of the School Improvement Plan.
Responsibilities: The specific duties of the Assistant Headteacher are reviewed on a regular basis and will change as the aims and objectives of the school change. Responsibilities may be rotated through the team as and when the Headteacher deems it appropriate.

Inclusion responsibilities reflect those in the national strategies including; Pupil Premium and associated budgets; Looked After & Previously Looked After Children; Line-management of our strong SENCO and Inclusion (SEND) Department; Student Wellbeing.
What the school offers its staff
We are committed to support staff wellbeing in a variety of ways and the good working relationships within the staff body, and between staff and students, is why many colleagues have chosen to stay with us for the long term. We invest in a subsidised gym membership scheme for staff and run an Employee Assistance Programme which is free for all staff and supports in areas such as mental health. We are also strong at supporting staff career development and colleagues are successful in securing promotions at all levels. We support colleagues in pursuing NPQs and offer a secondment programme onto the Senior Leadership Team for middle leaders. We will be operating a two-week half-term holiday each October.
Although we achieve excellent results year on year and are heavily over-subscribed, we are not complacent. We know there is always more to do. As a member of our senior leadership team, I will expect you contribute to all strategic decisions, whatever your own strategic responsibilities are – after all, more voices are better than one to form a strategy that will have real impact. I encourage a collegial approach to strategic development and will expect you to be flexible in the way you work so that we create an agile team ready to address any challenges that may lay ahead, especially in the current climate.
