Successful candidates should be able to demonstrate they have the capacity to lead and manage a large department, whilst simultaneously driving forward continuous improvement.  Applicants will have high aspirations and a proven track record of delivering consistently good (and often outstanding) teaching with a resulting positive impact on student attainment.   An ability to show how you have contributed to whole school development would also be advantageous. 

You will lead on raising student outcomes and standards at all key stages and participate in delivering improvement strategies where identified.  It would be a distinct advantage if you are able to teach to AS/A level standard.
