Job overview
Assistant Headteacher
Required for September 2023
L12 – L16
The trustees of Alderbrook School are seeking to appoint an exceptional leader who will build upon the successes of the existing Senior Leadership Team, supported by a committed and loyal staff body. Roles like this don’t come up very often at Alderbrook so this is a rare and exciting opportunity. With growing pupil numbers, an expanding school site and a dynamic and forward-thinking leadership team, there has never been a better time to join us!
Our new Assistant Headteacher will ensure all students are supported by effective systems to make outstanding academic progress and progression within the wider context of their full social, moral, spiritual and cultural development. This new role presents a unique professional development opportunity for a candidate who may already have experience in supporting pupil progress at whole school level, either at middle or senior leadership.
We are passionate about ensuring that we appoint the right person for our school; someone who will support our school ethos and whose skills and qualities will complement our current leadership team. Therefore, we are not looking for a candidate with knowledge and experience in a particular aspect of school leadership. Instead, we are interested in the impact you have had in your role(s), the skills and expertise that you can bring and what you could offer us here at Alderbrook. The specific areas of responsibility will be agreed with the successful candidate on appointment.
Applications are welcomed from colleagues who:
- are passionate about developing resilient, confident learners
- are committed to inclusive education
- can model, promote and develop high quality behaviour for learning across the school
- demonstrate energy and positivity
- show strategic thinking and an aptitude for problem solving
- are creative and inspirational
- are excellent communicators
- are highly emotionally literate
- exemplify the values of Alderbrook: ambition, bravery and kindness

We are offering tours at 8.45am on Tuesday 28th February, Thursday 2nd March and Wednesday 8th March. To book a place, please email Anna Whittington at vacancy@alderbrook.solihull.sch.uk.
Closing date: 12pm Monday 13th March 2023
The school is committed to the safeguarding and welfare of young people. Any successful applicant will be required to undertake an enhanced DBS.

In September 2015 we opened our Sixth Form which is flourishing and providing our learners with a first-rate post 16 experience. The first Year 12 cohort numbered 55 students. As of September 2020 Alderbrook boasts a Sixth Form of over 200 students.
There is no doubt that Alderbrook is acknowledged, both locally and nationally, as a high-performing school. Across the curriculum, the majority of subjects perform well above national values and achieve excellent results. In 2018 Ofsted stated “There is strong teaching in every subject area…as well as very strong practice in Mathematics”
The school enjoys a very pleasant green outlook with wonderful arts and sports facilities. We have an outstanding record for staff career and professional development opportunities which has enabled many of our colleagues to advance their careers not only at Alderbrook but further afield.
Within school we also have a bespoke additionally resourced centre for learners with Autism. Alderbrook has a strong student development department that supports mainstream SEN students. We are a comprehensive in every meaning of the word.
Our staff work collaboratively and enjoy the support of a community atmosphere at Alderbrook and this in turn enables us to build on our strong reputation in the local community, based on our culture of ambition, bravery and kindness where happy, confident and successful learners thrive with a thirst for knowledge.
