Headteacher

Ref: SCH166756

Required January 2019 or as soon as possible thereafter.

The Management Committee of Chadwick High School is seeking to appoint a dynamic and forward thinking Headteacher to continue to drive school improvement. Chadwick High School is a Pupil Referral Unit (PRU) that supports up to 90 KS3 and KS4 pupils who receive additional support for their medical or social, emotional or mental health needs.

Our vision is to provide a safe, secure and welcoming learning environment in which young people can grow as responsible, independent and self-confident learners. We are on an exciting journey of school improvement and have made rapid and significant improvements of which we are all very proud.

The school benefits from a supportive Management Committee, an effective Senior Leadership Team and a dynamic team of experienced committed staff. We are now looking to recruit a Headteacher with the right values, vision and ability to continue to lead the school forward to the next phase in its development; someone with resilience who is approachable, reflective and open minded.

If you want to work in a school where every child matters, where personal development and progression are equally as important as attainment and your values underpin and drive you as a Headteacher, then we would like to hear from you.
