Hi! I currently work in London as a Deputy Headteacher. I love all things teaching and learning! I am extremely passionate about education and find researching and creating new strategies and ideas exciting. The world of teaching and leading in England is highly stressful and it's up to all of us to look after each other's well-being...I hope my resources save you some precious time.

Personal Statement for Assistant Headteacher for Teaching, Learning and Curriculum FOR ADULTS

Personal Statement for Assistant Headteacher for Teaching, Learning and Curriculum FOR ADULTS

(10)
This is my own personal statement for the position of Assistant Headteacher for Teaching, Learning and Curriculum - a job which I got. Being able to download someone else’s personal statement while writing mine, would have been a huge help. Therefore, I thought offering mine, would give practitioners an option to view one before they start writing their own and thus having new ideas and a clear structure. Obviously, every personal statement should be tailored to the person specification but it is easy to use ideas from this personal statement and shuffle them around accordingly. I have removed specific names from the personal statement and instead typed, XXX.
Successful Supporting Statement Headteacher

Successful Supporting Statement Headteacher

(0)
A supporting / personal statement (containing blood, sweat and tears!) for the post of Headteacher. This supporting statement, of over 3000 words, ensured that I was shortlisted. I was subsequently appointed as Headteacher in a 2-form state primary. I have removed specific names and replaced with XXX. There is copy write on the document. Please do not simply lift statements. The purpose of the document is to support your understanding of how to write a supporting statement, including the language to use and how to show your impact as a leader. It also shows how you can structure a supporting statement, using the headings provided in the person specification. I prefer this layout style myself and feel that it shows that you are organised, as well as, making the shortlisting process easier for governors/trustees.
