Autumn Term 2021
Ibstock Place School is a highly successful 4-18 co-educational selective day school in South West London.
Following the promotion of the current incumbent to Headship, we are now seeking an exceptional professional to lead the academic development of the Senior School. Reporting directly to the Headmaster, the successful candidate will play a key role in developing the strategic vision of the School and in delivering on its ambitious agenda, with a particular emphasis upon its commitment to scholarship, pedagogical innovation and high academic achievement.
This is an exciting opportunity for an energetic and talented educator, most likely with considerable experience of academic leadership within a school environment to join both the School Executive and Senior Leadership Team. The role may suit someone seeking to move to Headship after a period of service to the School. Ibstock Place School operates its own generous salary scheme.
The post holder is also required to fulfil the terms of the general post description for all teachers at IPS and will teach an apportionment of lessons as determined by the Headmaster.
All members of staff have a pastoral role within the School and are required to participate in its co-curricular programme, thus enabling them to share their skills and expertise in areas not covered within curriculum time.
Information about the post is available at http://www.ibstockplaceschool.co.uk/Employment-Opportunities
The completed application form, together with a CV and a covering letter, should be sent to the Headmaster by Friday 5 February 2021.
The School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Applicants must be willing to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service.
