Assistant Head Teacher in charge of Behaviour and Attendance

Peacehaven Community School (PCS) is a school with a proven track record of developing outstanding leaders. Since the current Head Teacher joined the school, five members of the leadership team have been promoted, with one member of the team now Head Teacher at a sister school in East Sussex. If you are ambitious for yourself and for the students you teach, we would like to meet you.

PCS is a proudly comprehensive school. This means diverse teaching opportunities, from supporting SEN students with complex needs - some of whom may also be gifted and talented and studying in our Baccalaureate stream – to working with learners who are new to English. Our approach to each child is the same; we want to support them to achieve their dreams. We don’t believe in barriers and we don’t believe in labels; we believe in hard work and high aspirations.

PCS is a school that knows what it is: a place of learning. 

Since November 2016 Swale Academies Trust (SAT) has been supporting the leadership of the school. SAT has a proud history of supporting non-selective schools to out-perform grammar schools in Kent. Here in East Sussex, the Trust is applying those same principles to areas where students have not had the advantages given to their peers in more affluent areas.

We would welcome applications from existing senior leaders who want to develop their careers and explore the opportunities that working with an established academy trust brings. We would also welcome applications from outstanding middle leaders who are ready to move into senior leadership. What matters most to us is potential.

To be considered for this role you will need to demonstrate a track record of excellent teaching and inspirational leadership. You will have creative ideas for developing behaviour and attendance in a comprehensive school. You will be an excellent communicator and an outstanding role model for young people. Like us, you will be committed to keeping children safe and will put the child at the centre of everything you do.
