Job overview
The Charter School Educational Trust (The Trust) is seeking to appoint an inspirational and effective leader for The Charter School East Dulwich. Our brand new co-educational, non-selective, non-faith, inclusive 11-19 secondary school will open in September 2016 with its first cohort of year 7 students.
The post is to start from September 2015 in time for the recruitment of the first cohort and for you to be fully involved with the setup of the school.
The Charter School East Dulwich will deliver the highest quality education to young people in its immediate, diverse community. East Dulwich and South Camberwell, is an area with a proven level of need for additional secondary provision from 2016 onwards. Through the 'outstanding' Charter School, itself founded in 2000 as a brand new community secondary school, the Trust has served an equally diverse community, with a similar profile to that which will be served by the neighbouring Charter School East Dulwich. Our ambition is to create and sustain a sister school to the Charter School and to ensure that the new Charter School East Dulwich will, in time, be amongst the highest achieving secondary schools in the country, securing outstanding progress and attainment for all pupils, regardless of their starting points. The Head Teachers of our two schools will be equals, as we do not have an Executive Head or Chief Executive.
You will be an exceptional leader and strategic thinker, with a proven track record of successful leadership and management in a secondary school and will:
- Have the determination and entrepreneurialism needed to start a school from scratch, building on and applying the Trust's values and vision, leading to an inspirational new school, with its own flavour and character within the Charter family.
- Have high expectations of staff and pupils and the vision to build a strong staff team and cohesive student body.
- Inspire and motivate all students and staff to develop in a well-disciplined and harmonious environment.
- Enable all students to achieve their potential during their time at the school, ensuring that they leave school as mature, rounded, resilient individuals, ready to take their places as active citizens in the wider world.
- Be committed to the delivery of the highest standard of teaching and learning across the school, including the professional development of our staff.
This is a remarkable opportunity for a highly motivated individual to join the Trust at a very exciting time. The Charter School East Dulwich will be an outstanding, exhilarating and innovative school that produces exceptional attainment for its learners and will make a significant contribution to the lives and opportunities of its families.
