Job overview
Do you have the ability to turn potential into performance and lead a team that will give every young person the best possible chance to succeed?
The Governing Board of John Colet School is seeking to appoint an inspirational Headteacher to lead our vibrant and inclusive school. We are seeking to appoint an exceptional and experienced professional who can provide dynamic and innovative leadership to take up the post in January 2018.
Our school is a successful 11-18 Academy located in the Chilterns’ village of Wendover in Buckinghamshire. In the last 2 years the school has moved from a 6 to 7 form entry because of high parental demand. We are proud of our students’ achievements and the opportunities we offer. In 2016 Ofsted judged the school to be ‘good’ and highlighted some of the school’s many strengths, for example:
- ‘Leaders at all levels have taken effective steps to improve teaching so that teaching is of a high quality in the majority of subjects across the school.’
- ‘Governors know the school well, so they exercise useful oversight and provide an effective level of challenge to school leaders.’
- ‘Pupils are well behaved, respectful and well prepared for life in modern Britain.’
- ‘Learners in the sixth form do well. They are well supported and guided, so that more of them are now going into further education, employment or training.’
We are fortunate to have many experienced and talented senior leaders, teachers and support staff. We believe our new Headteacher will be well placed to build upon these strengths and help us become an even better school.
If you are an exceptional and experienced professional who can provide dynamic and innovative leadership to take up post in January 2018, we warmly welcome you to visit our school.
Visits can be booked through the Headteacher’s PA, Mrs Coralie Perry at cperry@johncolet.co.uk on the mornings of Wednesday 17th, Thursday 18th and Monday 22nd May 2017.

We have over 1000 students on roll and a talented, skilful staff who benefit from excellent support from the governing body and school leaders. CPD is central to our belief that staff should be constantly nurtured to be the best they can be. Our finances are in an excellent position.
Our facilities are excellent and expanding. These include a lecture theatre, 3G pitch, MUGA and recent additions of a dance studio and gym. These have allowed us to run staff well-being classes in yoga and fitness. A new suite of classrooms will be opening this year. Students are also provided with a wide range of enrichment opportunities and our curriculum ensures that the arts are well represented with Music, Drama and Art embedded in our offer.
I was appointed Head in September of 2023 and what attracted me most to the school was the sense of community, the kindness and respect shown by adults and young people to each other and the ambition to give our young people a fully-rounded, holistic education. Every adult wants every child to thrive. John Colet is a very caring and happy place and I would encourage you to come and experience for yourself our welcoming, positive learning culture.
We look forward to hearing from you.
