Witton Park Academy is part of Achievement through Collaboration Trust - an ambitious and supportive Trust, where children come first and are at the heart of all we do.

We are looking for a leader who shares our values. A leader who uses coaching as their philosophy for developing people.  A leader who can support our students and staff strategically, can roll their sleeves up and ‘get stuff done’ and can teach well. 

You will already have significant experience in a pastoral role within a school and understand the needs of students who have significant disadvantage.  The role will be crucial in developing our whole-school culture and ethos, ensuring that pupils at the academy develop, in the broadest sense, which promotes positive attitudes and develops the ‘character’ to equip them for life in the modern world.  You must also be passionate about outcomes for children with SEND with a commitment to completing professional development to support their needs effectively.

We would like you to be able to demonstrate the improvements you have been responsible for in any strategic areas of your school(s).  The skill and personality to motivate and inspire our staff and students to achieve their highest personal goals is a key attribute for this role.  As a good school, we continually seek improvements; we believe this strategic role will take us into the next stage of our improvement journey.  

As Associate Assistant Headteacher, you will work closely with other members of the leadership team, all of whom are passionate about improving the life chances of our students, making sure that they fulfil their part in ensuring that Witton Park Academy is a school to be proud of.  In addition there will be opportunities to work collaboratively with colleagues in our other schools to support school improvement.

This is a wonderful opportunity for an ambitious and dedicated professional to join our school and make a difference to the lives of our students and the community we serve.

We encourage you to read the accompanying documentation highlighting our values, vision and culture as a school. I would also encourage you to browse our internal CPL training at the site here to give you a full flavour of how we support staff.
