Assistant Head Teacher

The successful candidate will be a creative and dynamic practitioner who will be able to contribute to the development of our Leadership Team and help drive forward our agenda of continuous improvement.  You will show the drive, tenacity and ability to realise this ambition, and demonstrate a commitment to your own education and to yours and others’ professional development. This role is one where you must provide clear leadership, challenge and support to others and you must have the capacity to do this in a way that is professional, based on evidence and motivates your colleagues. Applications are particularly encouraged from candidates who teach within one of the following subjects listed below:  

• Geography

 • Computing 

• Business Studies  

The successful candidate will be someone with strategic experience and the ability to inspire, challenge and motivate our community.  This is an exciting time to join The Howard with a number of significant changes planned for the near future that will support our move towards excellence. If you are an imaginative and energetic practitioner and want to make a difference to the life-chances of all the students in your care then this could be the post for you.  

As a school our academic results are exceptional. The Howard School regularly achieves very high rates of students gaining 5 A* - C grades including English and Mathematics at GCSE, and our excellent Progress 8 score from last year for all groups of students demonstrates our commitment to each and every one of our learners. We remain one of the best performing non-selective schools in the South East, and continue to challenge the stereotypical view of underachievement in young men. 

The Howard School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.  We will ensure that all our recruitment and selection practices reflect this commitment. References will be taken up for those candidates short-listed for interview. The successful candidate will be subject to Disclosure and Barring Service checks along with other relevant employment checks.  

We would urge interested candidates to visit The Howard School prior to application.  We can then answer questions and you can engage with our ethos. 

Tours will take place by appointment only on Monday 27 and Tuesday 28 February 2017 from 11am – 3pm.
