Head of Sixth Form

At All Saints Academy our vision is “Living Well Together with Dignity, Faith and Hope”. We strive for excellence in all that we do, enabling our students to transform their lives and to hope for happy and successful futures. Our position as a Voluntary Aided Church Academy means that the Christian faith has a central role in all of our actions and decisions. Our vision translates into our everyday practice and our values are particularly relevant in ensuring all in our community are encouraged to strive for excellence.

We believe that this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to make a significant contribution to the development of All Saints Academy. We are seeking to appoint a dynamic, ambitious individual who will promote and contribute to the continued growth of our Sixth Form provision. 

In addition to the duties of a teacher this role will bring strategic clarity to the direction of the Sixth Form. The role will link closely to the new Ofsted 2019 framework and will involve close liaison with the Assistant Principals leading in the areas of Behaviour and Attitudes, Personal Development and Quality of Education.

As an Academy we are very proud of our sixth form, with recognition from Ofsted as being ‘good’ sixth form provision and we are looking for an excellent practitioner to continue this success and to continue to grow the Sixth form provision at All Saints Academy. 

As a senior member of staff you will contribute to the overall leadership and management of the Academy and be active in promoting its aims, and supporting an ethos that promotes achievement and high standards.
