Inspire their remarkable with us

We are looking for an enthusiastic, articulate and engaging Head of Year to support the variety of behavioural, emotional and academic needs of students in order to promote high standards of behaviour and ensure that students make at least the required amount of progress in their learning across all subjects.  Within this role, you will also track and improve attendance of students.  You will promote and adhere to the Trust’s values to be unusually brave, discover what’s possible, push the limits and be big hearted.  In order to succeed in this role, you will ideally have previous experience working within a school and be confident about taking on a post where you will need to motivate and inspire students.

This is an exciting time to join Sir Herbert Leon Academy.  After our recent Ofsted visit  we have moved to Requires Improvement with ’Good’ for Leadership & Management, Personal Development, Behaviour & Welfare and Post 16.  With our ‘broad and balanced’ curriculum as well as ‘pupils behaving well in lessons, break and lunchtimes’ being recognised by Ofsted, Sir Herbert Leon Academy is very much a school on its way to ‘Good’.  With a new, passionate Principal in post from September 2020, you will be joining an outstanding team who are focused on success for their students. 

We know we still have work to do to ensure that all our students enjoy a rich and successful time with us and your role is crucial in helping us achieve this.  You will be welcomed from your first day at Sir Herbert Leon and supported throughout your career with us.

We passionately believe that every child can discover their own remarkable life. It’s what motivates us. We know this vision requires something extra. Which is why at AET, you’ll find more. More opportunities, so you can forge your own path. More care and support, so you can prioritise what matters most. More purpose, for you and for the children we’re inspiring. 

We offer:

• More training and development, so you can get better at what you do - Varied and stretching continuous professional development opportunities.
• More support for you and your loved ones - A health cash plan, employee loans and savings scheme, discounted gym membership and employee assistance programme.
• More technology so you can make more impact - G Suite for Education embedded throughout. Collaborative cloud technology gives you access to the latest tools, when and where it suits you. More tech enabled classrooms mean less time spent on admin.
