Job overview

I became the Headteacher on 1st September this year, and from day one I've delivered a very clear message to our staff, students and parents. It is that every one of us must take ownership of ambition and raise our expectations of the success we can achieve, both individually and as a community. I insist that this is not a school where complacency is tolerated. This is a school that is totally focused on ensuring that every child is supported and challenged to deliver outstanding personal progress.
On 1 June 2013, Addington High School become an Academy, sponsored by the Ravens Wood Learning Trust. Our aim is simple, to become outstanding. We have already made significant strides towards this and we are looking for driven, committed and ambitious teachers to join our team.
