We’re looking for an energetic, compassionate Head of House to work with our dedicated pastoral team and lead the allocated House to flourish in all aspects of school life.
The House system is at the heart of our school and the pastoral care we offer our students. It creates so many opportunities and establishes a keen sense of belonging and pride. We are excited to appoint an
outstanding pastoral practitioner to lead one of our five Houses. The right person will be someone who is prepared to build meaningful and positive professional relationships with students, staff and parents.
This is a genuinely fulfilling role—both personally and professionally—with a chance to really shape the culture of not just one House but impact and influence whole school standards.
Our current pastoral staff collaborate as a supportive team and look forward to welcoming an inspirational pastoral leader to manage student wellbeing, oversee academic progress, drive a positive house identity as well as overseeing tutors and building strong links with families.
What we can offer you:
• A community that shares a vision for education.
• Motivated students who are eager to learn.
• A culture where behaviour is exceptional.
• A team of colleagues who work brilliantly together and have high expectations of students.
• Excellent professional development opportunities.
• Generous holidays and a compassionate approach to family circumstances.
• Membership of the Teachers’ Pension Scheme.
• Free, confidential access to our Employee Assistance Programme, which offers a range of
confidential counselling services.
• Free on-site parking
• Access to the school gym
The successful candidate will have timetabled lessons. Teacher salary will be discussed with successfully shortlisted candidates at interview, but our teacher pay scales are in line with the national standard. This
role attracts an allowance which supplements a teacher salary.
A place in our shared staff accommodation may be available. This can be discussed at interview.
At Reading School, we have a clear educational philosophy and a deeply rooted commitment to social mobility. In all we do we seek to nurture character and develop academic excellence, and we know that
what we do really matters. More than 10% of our Year 7 students come from disadvantaged backgrounds and we are proud of the difference that we make. In 2026, the school was rated the Sunday Times South
East State Secondary School of the Year.
We are a short walk from central Reading and close to transport links. Reading is a diverse place to live with arts, culture and heritage at the heart of the town.
Annual Allowance: TLR 2b (£6,009 per annum paid in monthly instalments)
Deadline for Applications: 8am on Monday 23 February - please see below for further guidance on completing your application.
Interviews will take place on Friday 6 March.
