Assistant Headteacher

We are seeking to appoint an ambitious, experienced, and values-driven Assistant Headteacher to join our senior leadership team and play a key role in shaping the strategic direction of the college.

This is a significant leadership role with responsibility for the strategic oversight of our outreach offer to mainstream schools, supporting inclusion, early intervention, and the prevention of exclusion. The successful candidate will also lead the development and oversight of short-term, on-site placements for pupils referred from mainstream schools, ensuring placements are impactful and support successful reintegration or transition.

In addition, you will provide operational leadership for one or more key stages, ensuring high standards of teaching, learning, behaviour, attendance, and student engagement. You will promote inclusive practice, support vulnerable learners, and ensure robust systems for assessment and intervention.

Deadline for applications is Friday 8th May at 5pm. Completed application forms should be emailed to vweston@newregents.hackney.sch.uk. To organise a visit to the school or for a formal conversation about the role, please contact the school office.

We are looking for someone who:

• Has substantial leadership experience in mainstream, PRU, AP, or special education settings.

• Has a strong understanding of inclusion, behaviour, and barriers to learning.

• Has experience of working strategically with schools and external agencies.

• Can lead and inspire staff while driving high standards.

• Is committed to improving outcomes for vulnerable learners.

We offer:

• A senior leadership role with real strategic influence.

• The opportunity to shape outreach and placement provision across the borough.

• A supportive and dedicated staff team.

• Ongoing professional development and leadership opportunities.

If you are committed to inclusion, innovation, and high expectations for all, we warmly welcome your application.
