Clifton, Ealing’s first Primary School to have a Co-Headship, are now seeking to appoint an inspirational and passionate Assistant Headteacher to join their innovative and dynamic Senior Leadership Team. 

Following a period where the two Deputy Headteachers were the Acting Co-Headteachers, in July 2018 the governors and local authority appointed them as the substantive Co-Headteachers of Clifton.

· Ensuring effective use of the Sports Premium Grant to promote healthy, active lifestyles for pupils

· Coordination of pupil engagement in school leadership initiatives

· Ensuring the effectiveness of the Children’s University to support our pupils and families in raising their aspirations

· Is determined to raise standards across the school for all pupils
