Barking Abbey is a heavily over-subscribed split site secondary school in the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham, and has a well-deserved reputation for its friendly and supportive atmosphere and its excellent academic achievements. As we start the process of expanding from a 9 form entry to a 12 form entry school, with a significant capital development, we are now seeking to appoint an exceptional individual to lead the school forward, taking us from Good to Outstanding.
We place an extremely high value on the importance of pastoral care and welfare for all, as we firmly believe that this impacts positively on all pupils. We are proud of the supportive culture we have created which enables every child to flourish and we aim to provide an education that will prepare our students for the rigours and demands of the 21st century.
We are looking for an existing Headteacher or an ambitious Deputy Headteacher with experience of leading a multi-site school who is an outstanding leader and is able to meet all the DfE Headteacher Standards. We are looking for the right person to build on the existing strengths of the school and forge deeper links with the community, ensuring families are at the centre of everything we do. You will demonstrate vision, enthusiasm, and commitment and embrace change in order to drive us forward on our journey to achieving Outstanding at our next Ofsted inspection.
