An exciting and challenging opportunity has arisen for a Head of Year at Westfield Academy. This is a role, with no teaching commitment, that is pivotal in the school’s desire to provide outstanding pastoral care. You will work closely with an Academic Head of Year to support the learning of vulnerable and challenging students. You will also be supported by a Deputy Head of Year and continue to support your year group throughout their time at Westfield.
You will have experience of working with children who have social, emotional and behavioural needs, and you will have good administrative skills and be a team player. This post would equally suit either an ex teacher or non teacher.
Westfield Academy is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Appointment to this post is subject to an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check, including the barred list, as well as other pre-appointment checks outlined in Keeping Children Safe in Education (September 2023).

Westfield is an 11-16 co-educational school, in Somerset, serving the town of Yeovil and the surrounding villages. It is a child centred organisation that has exemplary behaviour and an unmatched pastoral system that puts the welfare of students and staff at its core. The academy continues to make a significant impact on the education and welfare of the community in Yeovil. It was judged ‘Good’ by OFSTED in October 2023, 2018 and 2014. Student numbers have grown along with its reputation within the area and we were heavily oversubscribed in the last five year’s intake. There has been significant investment in the site over the last few years, including new sports facilities and Creative Arts spaces. Yeovil is a growing town and the Academy has seen its student numbers increase to 1055 this year.
