The James Hornsby School’s ethos and values can be articulated in one word: family. We live out this ethos in everything we do for our young people. Having a family ethos means that we care deeply about the achievement and well-being of our students; it also means that we have very high standards and expectations for every student and that, through our superb college system, we know each young person individually.

We are proud of our oversubscribed school and its increasing popularity over recent years but recognise that we cannot afford to be complacent, we are looking for a Headteacher who is inspired by our high achievements and sees this as an opportunity to take us to even greater successes.

At the James Hornsby School, we aim to become an outstanding school of choice for all our local families, providing students with a range of experiences and qualifications to access higher education or employment.  It will be a school where students reach their potential with no limit to what they can achieve.  We expect the highest levels of achievement and behaviour.  We challenge our students to achieve ambitious goals and to never settle for second best. 

We can offer you:

• A dedicated hardworking team of staff and enthusiastic, friendly and talented students
• A large and skilled senior team
• A healthy and well managed budget
• The opportunity to work closely with our talented Headteachers and CEO
• Supportive Trustees and Governors
