What skills and experience we're looking for
We are looking for a new Assistant Headteacher (Primary Phase). We are recruiting forthis post due to an internal promotion. This role is offered on a full-time basis, although a reducedworking pattern (for example, 0.8) will be considered for the right candidate.
Please see the recruitment pack below for further information to help you decide whether you have the skill set to be our next Assistant Headteacher. This can also be found on our website:

What the school offers its staff
Chichester Free School was established in 2013 as an all-through, stand-alone academy. The opportunities its all-through status affords make this role particularly exciting. We believe the next phase of the school’s development will build on strong foundations and take it to the next level. The academy joined Sussex Learning Trust (SLT) in 2023 in order to become part of a wider family of schools with all the benefits that brings.
The school has a PAN of 60 pupils in the primary phase and 120 students in the secondary phase , spanning Reception to Year 11 across the school. In recent years, it has been consistently oversubscribed in both Reception and Year 7, with waiting lists across all year groups. Visitors frequently comment on the calm, purposeful atmosphere across the school.
We warmly encourage you to visit the school in person. If you would like to arrange a tour around our school with our Head of Primary or arrange a confidential conversation about any aspect of the post, please contact Jemma Legg at recruitment@chichesterfreeschool.org.uk or 01243 792690.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Interviews will be held Monday 23rd March 2026
