Assistant Head Teacher

We are looking to recruit a dynamic Assistant Head Teacher for September 2025. To play a key role in the strategic leadership and day-to-day management of the school, with a particular focus specifically on curriculum development, personal development and staff development/support/well-being. In the first year, this role includes a teaching commitment of 4 days per week, leading a class of pupils with complex needs, while supporting the Head Teacher and SLT in delivering the school’s vision and development priorities.

The Rise Partnership Trust is currently a Trust of 3 special schools; Wembley Manor (secondary), Manor (all age) and Manor (primary). RPT is ambitious for its’ students and staff and actively prepares for future opportunities. This is a truly exciting role because the school is currently growing and presents significant opportunities for a leader to bring their own ideas and expertise to making the school a truly inspiring learning environment. Wembley Manor is a secondary Free School. By September 2025 it will have 80 students on roll in Key Stage 3 and Year 10. In September 2025, the school will move to its permanent site in Wembley and continue to grow its roll to 150 students in the next few years (this will include developing a Sixth Form). We offer our students a holistic educational provision to promote an understanding of the wider world in preparation for adulthood. We offer extensive CPD opportunities, well-being programmes and the opportunity to be part of a team who are committed to providing the best outcomes for all. Wembley Manor provides a very specialist learning environment with small classes (9 to 10 students), specially trained staff, and onsite, embedded speech and occupational therapy. Student interventions are carefully planned to ensure every student makes the best possible progress leading to positive outcomes as they move into adulthood. Wembley Manor works tirelessly to ensure that all of our students achieve their unique potential both personally, socially, emotionally, and academically in all areas of the curriculum (regardless of their gender, ethnicity, social background, religion, sexual identity, physical ability or educational needs).
