Head of School

If you really want to make your mark in a school that is committed to improving the lives of children and young people, we have the role for you.

This is a special opportunity for an exceptional leader. Netherhall Learning Campus High School is a Local Authority maintained school with over 750 students on roll. The community we serve is diverse and socially and economically disadvantaged. Despite the challenges we face we have high ambitions for all the pupils who attend our school. “Success for All” is not just a tag line but the ethos, vision and values by which all decisions are guided.

We have undergone a journey of improvement but there is still more to do. We require someone who is driven; someone who is able to recognise and build on current strengths whilst leading a culture of continuous improvement.  

You must believe that every pupil can realise their true potential with the right support, curriculum and teaching in place. You will be committed and ambitious with a proven record of school improvement and will have a relentless focus on the quality of teaching and delivering the national curriculum. You will establish a culture that promotes excellence, equity and high expectations for all pupils.

· You can build and maintain trusting relationships with the key stakeholders including staff, parents, and students

· You share our passion for education, and can demonstrate a clear strategic vision

· You can demonstrate how you have improved the quality of education in your current setting 

· You have a clear vision, highest integrity, and the commitment to help every student achieve their potential, not only academically or socially, but as young citizens who value and contribute to our community

In return we can offer you:

· Students who flourish in the atmosphere of engaging, exciting learning opportunities in our safe, secure and caring environment.

· A talented staff team that welcome new challenges and are committed to supporting colleagues and students

· Opportunities to work in genuine collaboration with Kirklees Local Authority and Kirklees schools
