Do you believe that every child deserves a rich, rewarding and stimulating education? So do we. As the UK’s leading independent provider of specialist education and care, Priory is passionately committed to harnessing the potential of children with special educational needs across the county. That takes more than innovative curriculum and care models. It takes teaching professionals – like you – who can bring out the best in every young person on their journey towards independence and successful integration into wider society.
So if you’re ready to make the most of your own teaching and leadership skills, we can promise you an exceptional career at Talocher School in Monmouth.
This specialist residential school for boys and girls aged 9 to 19 provides individually tailored programmes that support the educational, social and personal development of every pupil. Already recognised for our sector-leading practice, we are looking for a highly motivated Head Teacher to build on our success so far. This will involve working closely with the Principal, the education team and other agencies to drive continuous improvement, develop the curriculum and deliver education programmes that raise the achievement of our pupils both within our learning community and beyond.
In addition to monitoring and evaluating our performance, you will of course maintain strong internal and external relationships and contribute to the wider life of the school.
This influential role calls for an exciting, dynamic and visionary leader with a good understanding of both traditional and alternative education models. You must combine a detailed knowledge of the national curriculum with proven ability to manage and inspire the teaching team, and you will have the expertise to ensure that the school complies with all relevant statutory regulations, guidelines, governance and quality standards. An outstanding team player, you will also have the resilience – and sense of humour – needed to create the kind of environment where people are happy and everyone achieves.
Along with an attractive compensation package, we can promise you Teachers Terms and Conditions including the Teachers’ Pension Scheme, an excellent induction, ongoing professional development and the kind of prospects you would expect from the market-leading Priory Group.

Talocher School is a specialist residential school for girls and boys aged 7-19 years with behavioural, emotional and social difficulties (BESD). The school provides a warm, welcoming and relaxed environment for young people who are resident within Priory residential childcare facilities or as day pupils, who are unable to attend mainstream education because of their behavioural, emotional and social difficulties.
Many young people are experiencing a range of difficulties when they first come to the school, which are compounded by their disaffection towards learning, their negative attitudes towards authority and education and a history of interrupted education, including exclusion from mainstream schools. Due to their difficulties, they may have been out of school for long periods. Our aim is to enable students to acknowledge and cope with their specific difficulties and assist them in fulfilling their potential through providing positive full-time education.
