Headteacher

Are you passionate about young people’s aspirations and willing to invest your heart in our school?  We are, and if you are too, we would love to hear from you.

Little Heath School is located in pleasant, thriving community surroundings on the edge of the London Borough of Redbridge. It is a fast expanding secondary school for pupils with a wide range of learning difficulties, including complex autism and other communication needs. The school is due to grow from its current 176 places to 215 by September 2024.

Due to the retirement of the current head teacher, who has led the school over the last eight years, we are seeking a suitably qualified and experienced successor to build on his work and take the school into the next phase of its development. 

The successful candidate will:

• have successful leadership experience in a special school or setting for at least three years;
• ideally have completed NPQH;
• be able to articulate a vision and demonstrate strategic leadership to enhance the quality of our provision;
• ensure outcomes for pupils are the core of everything we do;
• inspire and lead colleagues in our dedicated team of staff and support a positive culture of improvement. 

In return, we can offer:

• a challenging but rewarding environment; 
• a strong and supportive leadership team; 
• a network of partner organisations locally and beyond.

For more information, please contact Katie Rossiter on katie.rossiter@tes.com to express your interest and to arrange an informal conversation/school visit (subject to current restrictions).

Interview date:  Week commencing Monday 5 July 2021
