Do you want to be part of the Sharples’ success story?

Sharples Science Specialist College is an over-subscribed, 11-16 mixed comprehensive with over 1,100 pupils on roll, situated in the North of Bolton. The school provides stimulating and innovative opportunities for learning, transforming the aspirations and educational outcomes for all students and the local community. Sharples was judged ‘Good’ at its last inspection in 2019, with areas of outstanding practice. 

The governing board is seeking to appoint an outstanding, enthusiastic and self-motivated individual to complement our dynamic team of pastoral staff in providing professional leadership of a cohort of students and tutors in order to secure a safe learning environment, a positive ethos, a high quality educational experience and constantly improving standards. 

The successful candidate will possess excellent organisational skills and will be able to relate well with groups of students to overcome barriers to learning and achievement and promote high standards of attendance, academic progress and behaviour. A key element of this role will be communicating effectively with a range of stakeholders, including staff, parents and external agencies.
