Head of Year

Following retirement, a Head of Year is required to join our existing, well-established and successful Pastoral team. In addition to leading their year group and tutor team, candidates need to be effective classroom teachers with well-developed skills such as listening, empathy and problem-solving.

This post is a very important one in terms of the management structure: the ability to work with a range of stakeholders and outside agencies is essential, as is the capability to exercise professional autonomy whilst also working as part of a team.

We are a flourishing 11-18 high school situated in the pleasant and historic town of Framlingham, Suffolk. We are consistently one of the region's highest performing schools.

There is a thirst for learning amongst the pupils and as a parent once remarked, "it's cool to learn here." We have high expectations of our pupils and well qualified staff. Through excellent teaching and learning, pupils make very good progress here. We are very proud of our broad and balanced curriculum. Pupils can genuinely discover and excel in their talents! Pupils progress to a range of destinations from university (including over 10 students to Oxbridge over the past five years), college, training or employment.
