Headteacher

Orchardside School, formerly ESTC (PRU), seeks a Headteacher following the retirement of the previous Head.

This is an exciting opportunity not only to take on the senior leadership of the Enfield PRU but, as it has just moved into a new purpose built building, there is considerable scope to help shape the curriculum opportunities based on the bespoke facilities that have been created. A new staffing structure has also been adopted.

This is an exceptional opportunity for the successful candidate who will need to be visionary, enthusiastic, innovative, dynamic, resilient, calm, and highly skilled. They will be expected to use this unique opportunity to achieve even greater success and further develop the existing culture of high expectations and achievement for ALL with the focus on teaching and learning as our core function.

The Enfield Secondary Tuition Centre (Pupil Referral Unit) received an ‘Outstanding’ grade at its last Ofsted (2013) and we want to ensure it remains a high quality unit.

The successful candidate will be expected to play a key role in the strategic development of behaviour support across the authority and essential to this will be the partnerships that they form with other head teachers, colleges, as well as Local Authority Officers.

If you would like an application pack or more information regarding the post, or to arrange a visit, please do not hesitate to contact judith.hunt@estc.enfield.sch.uk telephone number 0208 353 4270 Ext 107
