Advert

Wilmington Grammar School for Boys is seeking a Headteacher to lead this successful 11-18, selective Boys’ School from September 2017. This is an exciting time in the school’s development and the ideal candidate will be keen to embrace all that the new educational landscape has to offer. The school offers a broad and balanced curriculum and had an engineering specialism under the SSAT programme. It has an enviable track record in Maths with value added never falling below the top 20^th percentile and hitting the top 1% in 2016 for students with middle prior attainment.

The school is consistently oversubscribed and has 5 forms of entry in Years 7-11 (PAN of 750), with a joint sixth form, WG6, which is shared with WGSG and has a PAN of 600 students. Students enter the school in Year 7 after successfully passing the Kent selection test. A small number of in year applications also take place and in sixth form there is a further opportunity for external students to enter WG6.

The ideal candidate will be passionate about education and have a clear vision of how a school can be improved and experience to demonstrate how students and staff can be supported to reach the highest levels of success. Involvement in leading staff through a period of change and in holding key leaders to account is essential and the person appointed needs to provide evidence of operating at the highest level to drive forward the quality of teaching and learning.
