Job overview

ASSISTANT HEADTEACHER KS5, HEAD OF 6TH FORM

For September 2021

L15 – L19 (£62,927 - £69,087)

The Assistant Headteacher KS5 is a key post in the school. The role is supported by a Head of Year 12 and a Head of Year 13 as well as by a non-teaching Assistant Year Coordinator and a number of other dedicated support staff.

The Assistant Headteacher KS5 will be a key contributor to the drive to ensure that teaching in our school is never less than good and that increasing numbers of lessons are judged to be outstanding. Our 2012 Ofsted inspection, in which we were judged as outstanding in all 5 categories, referred to “a relentless pursuit of excellence” and the students’ “outstanding academic progress”; the role of Assistant Headteacher KS5 is central to ensuring that our track record of sustained high standards continues. The successful candidate will be an excellent practitioner who is able to lead by example, to inspire others and to bring about real and meaningful improvements.

Nower Hill is a happy, optimistic school in which individuals are cared for and valued.  We are highly successful but very ambitious for further success.  Students are a pleasure to work with, staff are very high calibre with a strong team spirit and high morale and our governors and parents/carers are very supportive. We are proud of our successes and achievements but we are never complacent. What we promise the children and their parents is our complete determination to ensure that Nower Hill continues to go from strength to strength, continues to stretch and challenge every student and continues to provide a centre of all-round excellence at the heart of our community.

Real and meaningful professional development is at the heart of what we do at Nower Hill.  We have a very powerful portfolio of in house CPD programmes, which as a member of the Senior Leadership Team, the successful candidate will help to lead.  We are looking to appoint a colleague with the potential, capacity and ambition for further professional growth / career development. The successful candidate will be part of a dynamic Senior Leadership Team that has produced six Headteachers in the last six years alone.
