Head of Junior School

AKS Lytham is part of United Learning, a large and growing group of schools aiming to offer a life changing education to children and young people across England. Schools within United Learning work as a team and achieve more by sharing than any single school could. By collecting expertise and combining resources, we help to make the tough job of teaching a little easier. With a shared curriculum and lesson plans from around the group available to all, our teachers have strong foundations to lead the engaging, rounded education our children deserve. Our intranet site, United Hub, is just one example of how we share this resource and communicate across sites, helping to simplify processes and manage workloads for an improved work-life balance. We reward our staff: with wide career opportunities - between Primary and Secondary, Academy and Independent - better pay, benefits, and ultimately the satisfaction of helping every child at each of our schools to succeed and reach their full potential.

We believe that children in a fast changing world need educational leadership that is always looking to challenge and improve. AKS Lytham has a holistic vision with strong educational partnerships within our local community. As a member of Round Square International we are also building global connections with like-minded schools.

For this role we seek an ambitious proven or aspiring Head of Junior School with a desire to grasp this fantastic opportunity and build on the school's strengths and reputation; an adventurous leader who will bring out the passion in others and lead a culture of self-reflection. Important qualities will include strong communication skills, resilience and commitment to the school's core values of academic ambition, individual pathways and success and value. Our Junior School is the foundation of our students' journey and we continually look to strengthen connectivity with the Senior School.

As part of United Learning we benefit from support and resources from a leading educational organisation committed to bringing out the 'Best in Everyone'.
