Assistant Headteacher

The Raise Academy is a brand-new school opening in September 2024. The school will specialise in supporting pupils aged 11-16. 

The Raise Academy pupils will have the opportunity to be engaged in a wide range of vocational and practical subjects that will give them new opportunities to progress personally, socially and academically. The curriculum will be underpinned by high quality and supportive Maths, English and Science and all lessons will be taught in small classes of up to 8 pupils, with teachers, learning mentors and pastoral/teaching assistants.

This is a fantastic opportunity at our brand new SEMH school in Widnes to shape the school and transform the lives of children and those who look after them.

All members of staff have a commitment and passion to deliver the best possible educational experiences, encouraging all students to dream big and empowering them to lead successful and fulfilling lives, in a safe and protected, well-supported atmosphere. Our aim is to reignite that love for learning that may have been lost at some point, through inspirational teaching and provision of opportunity.

The Raise Academy will also provide the opportunity for you as educators and those supporting education to make a real difference in an environment that supports your professional development.

Your key priorities will be:

·        Support strategic leadership and management to staff within the Raise Academy   

 ·        Support with securing and sustaining effective teaching and learning throughout the school  

·        Undertake Performance Management and Line Management responsibilities as required.

·        Deploy staff and resources efficiently and effectively to meet specific objectives in line with school’s strategic plans.  

·        Ensure effective pastoral care and behaviour support throughout the school  

·        To be responsible for the day to day leadership and management when the Headteacher, or Deputy Headteacher are not in the Raise Academy  

I hope you will want to join our team to help shape our school and create an aspirational environment for our pupils. Please get in touch if you have any questions and I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely

Paul Eager, Headteacher
