Assistant Headteacher ‘Teaching & Learning’

We are looking to appoint an inspirational Assistant Headteacher to join our successful junior school.

Applicants do not need to currently be on a Leadership Team but must be able to show that they have proven school leadership experience that has had a significant impact on the whole school. Above anything else, you must have an uncompromising passion for teaching and believe that you can make the necessary contribution to ensuring the best start for every child, both leading teaching yourself and by taking whole school leadership responsibility.  Having KS1 experience would be an advantage because this would provide a foundation to our KS2 curriculum.

Our Assistant Headteacher will:

  • In the first instance, be an inspirational and talented teacher with a proven track record of improving outcomes for children
  • Be a courageous school leader – our pupils deserve a first-class educational experience. You must firmly believe this and be prepared to question practices in the school that do not match the high standards we expect from every member of the Upton staff.
  • Take the leading role for Curriculum and Standards throughout the school
  • Be an excellent role model for staff and pupils
  • Liaise effectively with parents, staff, governors and the wider community
  • Understand the importance of assessment data and use this to track progress and attainment of all pupils
  • Have excellent interpersonal skills

Our commitment to you…

You can expect:

  • 512 talented pupils, each deserving an Assistant Headteacher that will willingly go that extra mile to ensure they succeed.
  • Excellent CPD including NPQH or other leadership training for the right candidate
  • A supportive school community with excellent facilities
  • A well supported staff team, committed to ensure all pupils achieve their potential

Prospective candidates will be expected to make a visit to the school and meet with Miss Arthur, Head of School via headofschool@uptonjunior.com
