This post offers the opportunity for involvement in all aspects of school leadership and management and the successful candidate will contribute to a range of whole school responsibilities. However, in the first instance the key responsibilities for this post will include the leadership of Turing School. This includes the Turing students’ academic progress, behaviour, personal development and wellbeing, including both attendance and safeguarding. The successful candidate will therefore need to have a strong background in aspects of attendance, behaviour management, personal development and wellbeing. The Head of Turing will also line manage Mathematics and Physical Education, as well as performing other leadership roles as negotiated with the Principal.
