Assistant Headteacher

The Park School is a mixed Special School for students aged 11 to 16 with EHCPs for Learning and Additional Needs, drawing students from a wide range of socio-economic groups and from a wide radius. They offer a mainstream secondary school curriculum model, with students following a timetable and moving rooms from lesson to lesson. Their focus is very much on outcomes at 16, aiming to equip our students with the skills and knowledge they will need to achieve their potential and the social and emotional foundations needed to navigate adulthood. The staff team are committed to providing a vibrant, supportive, and purposeful atmosphere within a safe environment in which all our students thrive. They offer a rich, creative, and personalised curriculum that meets individual needs, enabling students to fulfil their potential.

The Park School is looking for an Assistant Headteacher who contributes to excellence for everyone, both pastorally and academically. As an enthusiastic and committed teacher you would recognise that the core business of teaching, learning and student wellbeing comes first. The successful candidate will put the students and their learning first whilst being able to provide support and accountability for the staff. Leadership is about expecting the best which includes high standards for yourself and your staff and setting ambitious targets for your students. Assistant Headship in a Special School will require you to roll your sleeves up, get involved with a myriad of individual issues but always be able to step back and see things from a whole school perspective.
