Job overview
Head of Senior Department, Cobham Free School
Cobham Free School are seeking to appoint a Head of Senior Department, to commence in April 2018.
The Senior Department opened in 2014, building on the success of our significantly oversubscribed Junior Department. The Senior Department currently admits pupils in years 7-9 inclusive and will grow year on year, up to - and including - sixth form. Class sizes are small - three form entry of 24 pupils per class; a community where everyone is known.
Our current Head of Senior has been with the school since the pre-opening stage of the Senior Department. The department has since grown and flourished and, after a busy and successful four years, he will be leaving CFS next year for a post at an international school. We are therefore seeking to appoint a candidate in good time to ensure a smooth transition period.
This is an exciting time to join the school; we are about to embark on our first set of GCSEs and continuing to grow each year, whilst consolidating on the success we have enjoyed to date.
As a growing school, we are able to offer a unique career opportunity to an ambitious candidate seeking a new challenge, in a supportive and friendly community.
Please see our website to find out more about us, or contact us to arrange a visit on 0330 330 0237 or hr@cobhamfreeschool.org.uk.
We look forward to hearing from you.
