Job overview
Ossett Academy & Sixth Form College’s Governing Body are seeking to appoint an aspirational Director of Sixth Form to lead and develop the established Sixth Form into an exceptional Post 16 provision. The role presents an exciting opportunity for an aspiring middle leader or existing senior leader to join a vibrant and innovative Academy as part of our Senior Leadership Team.
Ossett Academy & Sixth Form College is an 11-19 Academy with over 1,670 students including 300 students in the Sixth Form. We maintain high standards across all aspects of Academy life with high academic attainment and an explosion of extra-curricular opportunity and talent.
Most recently we made the decision to form a Multi Academy Trust (MAT) with a local secondary school and two primary schools. Our move into the Accord Multi Academy Trust is exciting. Our vision is that Accord develops our knowledge of learning from primary to secondary so that students have access to a wider range of opportunities in order to achieve excellence.

We are looking to appoint an inspiring leader who is an outstanding teacher with the enthusiasm and commitment to grow and develop the Sixth form and contribute to whole school improvement. If you are passionate about providing young people with a safe, supportive environment in which to ensure their success, we would like to hear from you.

It has gained a reputation for excellence, maintaining high standards across all aspects of academy life with high academic attainment and an explosion of extra-curricular opportunity and talent.

Their strong tradition of success is built on a firm foundation of personalised pastoral care, ensuring a climate for learning that is calm, well ordered and secure. Recognising the hard work and efforts of pupils in their lessons, the academy puts learning and positive recognition of both staff and pupils, at the heart of its approach.
The academy understands that collaboration is an important aspect to the ongoing development of schools and academies and, with this in mind, it continues to play a key role alongside its primary pyramid, as a member of Education Ossett Community Trust (EOCT). EOCT aims to provide world-class opportunities for the community of Ossett, supporting young people aged 3 to 18 to develop a lifelong passion for learning, across a range of experiences.
