Vice Principal

Do you want to be a headteacher in the next 3-5 years?

Are you an inspirational leader?

Are you an exceptional classroom practitioner?

If so, then we are offering an exciting opportunity for the right candidate to join a truly great school.

We are seeking to appoint a dynamic Vice Principal who has preferably worked at this level in another school. Our Vice Principals are involved in all aspects of the Academy’s development and day to day management. You will have the relevant drive, determination, experience and skill set to help lead the Academy to even greater success in the future.

The main focus of the role will be developed in conjunction with the successful candidate, but it is expected that you will have the experience and ability to lead on whole school development of both curriculum and pastoral systems and practice.

Our Vision:

‘‘Be the best you can” this is what we ask of our pupils and our staff. 

We are committed to providing the very best educational experience for our young people and invite applicants who share this commitment and want to be a part of our success story. We believe in the power of the curriculum and so intentionally have the following at the core of our practice:  

• A pragmatic approach to pedagogical practice that reduces teacher workload    
• Teaching powerful knowledge rather than parroting the knowledge of the powerful   
• CPD which is rooted in the best educational research, often with a foundation in cognitive science

The Academy is on a journey from Good to Great and the recruitment of a skilled and enthusiastic Vice Principal is crucial to the success of this journey.   

About Us:  

• We provide a world class education for boys and girls aged 11-19, in a modern state of the art building that opened in September 2010.   
• We provide a welcoming, caring and stimulating environment with excellent teaching facilities.   
• We have pupils who strive to maximise their achievement and are fully supported by parents who work with us in partnership.   
• We have excellent transport links; 5 min walk from the bus stop or 7 min walk from Manor House tube station which serves the Piccadilly Line.   
• We have a high-quality teaching staff fully committed to supporting pupil’s academic and personal development.  
• We offer excellent opportunities for your own professional development.  
• We believe qualifications open doors but are only part of the story. All children deserve a full rounded education.

Please note this post allows substantial access to children, therefore the successful candidate will be required to apply for, and hold, an enhanced DBS (Disclosure & Barring Services) certificate. The Academy will arrange this for you prior to you taking up your post.
