Job overview
Brecknock is brilliant because our pupils and staff encapsulate in so many ways the essence of why children love to learn and teachers love to teach. There is a thirst for learning and knowledge, inclusivity, creativity, respect and community. Add to this our loyal pupils, committed staff, supportive parents and carers, a dedicated governing body, and the backing of Camden Learning. Brecknock is a place where every child can fulfil their potential.
We are now looking for an exceptional leader to help us on our journey to excellence. As an existing Head or Deputy with substantial leadership experience, you will adopt an approach that sees challenges as opportunities. You will have the ability to recognise the strengths of others, particularly our dedicated staff who thrive in an inner-city environment and excel under a coaching style of leadership. You will be able to harness their talent by using your own to shape a vision for excellence across every aspect of our school.
Your drive will be visible, perhaps infectious, as you prepare yourself and others to take on the challenge of leading and inspiring a community to approach the education of children holistically. Your emotional intelligence will be exemplified by your resilience as you share our vision with all of our stakeholders.
Most of all, you will continue to make pupils, staff, parents/carers and governors hugely proud of the 'Brecknock Way', and maintain our focus on being at the heart of our community.
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
