Head Teacher

Woodbridge Park is a KS1-KS4 Pupil Referral Service responsible for the education of students permanently excluded from school, as well as students who have special educational and medical needs preventing them attending mainstream school.   The Service was judged as ‘good’ with outstanding features for Behaviour and Safety in its last Ofsted Inspection (October 2012).   Following the retirement of the current post holder, the Management Committee is seeking to appoint an inspirational, visionary and dynamic Head Teacher who will lead the service through a period of opportunity, growth and development. This is a challenging post which will shape not only the Alternative Provision across Hounslow but will also lay the foundations for the life chances of young people for whom mainstream provision is not always the best match for their needs.  The successful candidate will:

 • Have high expectations of students, their achievements and behaviour

• Have the vision to anticipate the shape of future AP and the skills required to be an instigator of innovative developments as well as the ability to implement, refine and shape these. 

• Be able to lead and inspire a committed and hard-working team to achieve and maintain excellent practice

• Be an excellent communicator in a wide range of settings, working with individual families and local communities

• Have experience of working with students who display challenging behaviour, either in mainstream or special schools. 

Interviews are scheduled to take place: Tuesday 1st and Wednesday 2nd May 2018
