“The Radcliffe School is a Good School” – Ofsted, 2020
This is an Assistant Headteacher role with a difference. We need a passionate leader who understands that the leadership of standards and teaching and learning at all stages can make a significant and life changing impact on young people’s lives. The successful candidate will join our Good school in September 2024 and will join our highly committed and talented team as we continue on our journey towards excellence.
Your leadership area will be Teaching and Learning. You will lead on the quality of Teaching, Learning and Assessment across the school and on raising achievement to secure the best possible outcomes for students.
Our school ethos is designed to support the whole child and focusses on both academic and personal progress. We believe that for a child to be successful, they need to be able to access the curriculum and adaptations need to be made to teaching for all students to do this. The Assistant Headteacher will enable all staff to develop this ethos to support each individual student in their care.
If you are an excellent teacher, with strong middle leadership experience, and you want to step into Senior Leadership, our School Leadership Team will support you in this role. Alternatively, you may be a candidate with established senior leadership experience, who wishes to further develop your leadership experience in readiness for Deputy Headship, in which case we are keen to hear from you. If you have a proven track record of successfully delivering and leading whole school initiatives, this could be the exciting next step you’ve been searching for to enhance your flourishing career.
Our Senior Leaders value and demonstrate resilience, consistency and an excellent work ethic. You will share their focus and passion for the bigger picture, and you will understand a strategic approach to school improvement. You will bring a level of confidence that will allow you to quickly establish your reputation both within and outside the school, providing a visible, credible and motivating presence. You will have the ability to inspire those around you with your passion, subject knowledge, team ethic and commitment to the highest standards. You will have the capacity to challenge, support and inspire.
