Assistant Headteacher

We are seeking to appoint an outstanding teacher, who is fully committed to building on his/her existing leadership strengths, to a new post as an assistant head teacher within our school leadership team.

The person appointed will have a specific leadership role in respect to teaching, learning and outcomes across Key Stage 1, as well as whole school leadership responsibilities matched to his or her strengths and areas of expertise. A class teaching commitment in either Year 1 or 2 is expected: appropriate non-class contact time will be provided in order to carry out the role effectively.

Our school is committed to excellence for each and everyone of our children, everyone who comes to St George's is seen as a learner including our staff, and CPD is highly valued to support staff further their skills, expertise and careers. With a shared vision and cohesive approach to continue to raise standards further after our recent "good" Ofsted 2014 inspection, teamwork and collaboration is strong and pupil engagement and behaviour is first-rate. With the local population growth and investment in new homes within the school catchment area numbers on roll are expected to rise, and our future plans reflect our commitment by extending our existing facilities, promote life long learning and become a school that is very much at the heart of its community. All in all, a great time to join us!

We are able to offer:

• A stimulating, well resourced and professional working environment
• A supportive, friendly and motivated team of staff, who show a passionate commitment to improving learners' educational experiences.
• An innovative and bespoke curriculum, inspired by children's natural curiosity and interest in learning and personal achievement.
• An engaging and nurturing environment where learners are encouraged to care, support and learn from each other.
• To play an active part in the school's development and its future success.

We are now looking for an enthusiastic and motivated assistant headteacher who demonstrates strong vision, high standards and exceptional leadership qualities. We are a good school with outstanding features and we are looking for someone to join us on our journey of continuing improvement to become an outstanding school.

Appointments to visit the school will be available in September by arrangement with the head teacher.

For any further information please contact the school secretary Lorraine Keyte; Email: stgeorges.secretary@cbc.beds.sch.uk Tel: 01525 372096

Our school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff to share this commitment. The post is subject to an enhanced DBS check.
