  Executive Headteacher Mount Tamar and Courtlands Special Schools

Courtlands Special School

Courtlands is a vibrant 4-11 ASC/SEMH Special School, where the community has embraced improvement over the last 18 months. You will be leading a team of committed, skilled staff who see the potential in our children and work tirelessly to deliver the very best for them in the core belief that every interaction is an intervention that can empower their potential.

Mount Tamar

Mount Tamar is a 4-16 SEMH Special School that joined Transforming Futures Trust in March 2023. Since this time the school has made rapid improvements and is continuing to drive towards its aspiration of being a great place to learn for our pupils and great place to work for staff.

The Executive Headteacher will bring a compelling blend of professional ability, focus and ambition to the schools. They will also need to be ready to work with a range of stakeholders and commissioners to support the development of effective provision in a rapidly changing environment. With an inclusive, visible leadership style, and a determination to deliver complex and alternative education to the highest possible standard, you’ll engage teachers, children, parents and carers alike in your vision for their learning, outcomes and life chances. You will also work closely with the Executive Leadership Team to support the strategic objectives, aims and values of the Trust.

This is an exciting time to become the Executive Head at Mount Tamar and Courtlands Schools, and you will play a significant role in shaping the future of the wonderful children and young people in both these brilliant schools!
