REF: SCH/15044TR

Senior Assistant Headteacher - in charge of the Sixth Form and School Improvement Work.

We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and highly effective individual to lead the Sixth Form.

In June 2016, Ruislip High School secured its best set of external examination results. 76% of students attained an A*-C in both English and mathematics. This is a key national accountability measure. 74% of students attained five or more A*-C grades including English and mathematics. Thirty-seven students, from a cohort of 150, achieved five or more grades A-A* and 31% of all entries were awarded A-A* grades, with 57% for A*-B grades.

The results in English language and literature were very strong with A*-C percentages of 79% and 84% respectively. In addition, the results for mathematics remain consistently high with 81% of all students attaining A*-C grades. In terms of individual successes, twenty-four students attained eight or more grades at A-A* level.

The vast majority of students attained the grades necessary to progress to their chosen university with more students than ever achieving A*-A grades. In the short five year history of the sixth form, the school has been successful at sending students to both Cambridge and Oxford universities.

The successful applicant will:

• be an excellent classroom teacher, including a proven success record at Key Stage 5;
• have a good understanding of the current educational developments, especially those relating to post-sixteen education;
• have the highest expectations of students;
