Assistant Headteacher (Inclusion and SENCO)

Redden Court School, a place where “Pupils are enthusiastic about
coming to school to learn.” (OFSTED SEPTEMBER 2016)

Would you like to move your career forward in a friendly environment with eager students and support from an experienced leadership team, in one of the best mixed comprehensive schools for 11-16 in our Local Authority.  We are oversubscribed, serve Harold Wood well and we are only twenty minutes from the heart of London.

We invest in our staff to help them to become the best possible teachers they can be. There are excellent opportunities for people who work hard. Effort is often recognised in career development. Many who came to us as NQTs now have substantial leadership roles. Our CPD programme and collegiate approach are highly effective. Staff morale is high and so is that of our students and their community.
 
Redden Court’s most recent results place us in the
top 20% nationally for progress, the top 10% in English and Maths for Progress 8.

Our school mantra is "Committed to Success for All."  That includes our staff and we want the very best for our students. Less than a year ago OFSTED said we “have created an inclusive community where pupils and staff relate well to each other. The school is focused on working with families to raise aspirations for pupils.”

If you are an inspiring, inspirational, enthusiastic and innovative leader who recognises that the best leaders continually strive to improve, we would like to hear from you. This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a forward thinking school and leadership team.  We require an individual who is passionate about inclusive care and has the wellbeing of all students at the forefront of their practice.  As the Success for All Educational Trust develops we will also need an individual who is flexible enough to work across the Trust.
 
The Multi-Academy Trust (MAT) includes Redden Court School, The Royal Liberty School and Sanders School.  Inclusion and a commitment to success for all students are at the forefront of the MAT and we provide specific support, tailored to our students’ needs.  
 
We are looking for someone who can work effectively within a strong Senior Leadership Team and lead a particularly large Inclusion Faculty.  This would include someone who has the experience of leading whole school initiatives.  The candidate must possess a genuine commitment to making a positive contribution to the school.  We are looking to appoint an ambitious and inspirational senior leader to take on this exciting Inclusion role.  This is a vital role in a school with an outstanding reputation for its work with SEND and vulnerable students and will require an exceptional individual.
 
The successful candidate will be committed to our vision, our values and ethos, and have the interpersonal skills and ability to lead staff and students to achieve all they can.  If you would like to speak to the Head Teacher, Mr A Henry, please feel free to telephone the school.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and we expect all staff to share this commitment.  We require the successful candidate to undertake an enhanced criminal records check via the Disclosure and Barring Service.
