Head of Sixth Form

Taverham High School is a popular and successful 11 – 18 Academy on the outskirts of Norwich. Taverham has been voted the 4th most desirable postcode to live and work in the country. The school was substantially redeveloped under the PFI in 2007 and we became an academy in April 2013; our facilities are first-class. We are proud of the professional development we offer our staff and have recently put in a Teaching School bid. We are currently waiting to hear the outcome of the bid.

We are looking for a talented, enthusiastic and driven professional to run our Sixth Form. Taverham Sixth Form is an inspiring and exciting place of further study. We provide a learning environment of high expectations and challenges which focuses on preparing students from across Norwich for the opportunities offered in Higher Education, employment and training. We are looking for someone to build on and develop its existing strengths further. The Sixth Form is an important priority for our school and as a member of the Leadership Team the person appointed will be expected to play a full part in the strategic direction of the school and be supported in their professional development and ambitions.

If you can show initiative, have enthusiasm for learning and have good educational qualifications and leadership skills, we would like to meet you. The ideal candidate will have experience of teaching through KS3-KS5 and have confidence in teaching a broad range of ability.

Informal visits to the academy prior to interview can be arranged.
