Assistant Headteacher

At St Andrew's, we believe in creating a space where both teachers and students thrive. We’re a small school with a big heart, and we’re looking for a passionate leader to join our wonderful team. Whether you are an existing Assistant Head or looking to take your next career step, we could be the school for you. We offer a warm, friendly, and supportive team where you can truly flourish.

We’re proud to have recently received a successful Ofsted report, reflecting the hard work and commitment of our staff and students.

We are looking for someone who:

• Has a passion for teaching and is committed to providing the best possible education for every child

• Has the ability to inspire and lead others

• Is organised, proactive, and is excited about the opportunity to mentor our homegrown SCITT

• Enjoys working collaboratively with colleagues and is open to new ideas and professional development

• Is enthusiastic about being part of a school community that values creativity, inclusivity, and kindness

As a school we are very careful around workload and wellbeing. We do this by:

• giving an extra full day of PPA release each term

• weekly release slot for leadership duties

• two-week half-term break for the long Autumn term

• make sure staff meetings are used so teachers can complete key tasks, not add extra jobs to do later

• flexi-PPA time where possible

• minimal marking policy, using ‘in the moment verbal feedback’ as our core pedagogy

• Access to a wide range of wellbeing services through our Employee Assistance Provider

For further information about this role please refer to the job description.

We welcome early applications and will consider holding interviews and appointing before the closing date for strong candidates.

Closing date: Friday 16 May 2025 @9.00am
Interview Date: Monday 19 or Tuesday 20 May 2025
