Deputy Principal (Pastoral)

This is a great opportunity for an inspiring and committed Deputy Principal to support the continuing development of the Kingswood Secondary Academy, recently judged ‘Good’ in all areas by Ofsted. You will take a lead role for Pastoral and Behaviour matters; however, exact responsibility will be negotiable depending on experience and interests.

Joining us as Deputy Principal (Pastoral), you will work with the Principal to continue to raise standards within the Academy and identify areas for development through Academy evaluation and quality assurance. You will contribute to the strategic direction of the Academy and ensure that pastoral welfare and behaviour develop respectively, including improving pastoral and behavioural outcomes for disadvantaged pupils.

To be successful, you will: 

• be an exceptional middle/senior leader with a demonstrable commitment to helping all pupils achieve their best, despite their background; 
• have high expectations of behaviour and the ability to motivate staff and pupils through high-quality leadership and management; 
• be an innovative manager, able to analyse and interpret Academy data to support clear, strategic decisions; 
• ensure that the overall Academy vision is achieved, with support from the senior leadership team at the Academy and the Education Support Team of the Trust.
