Wilmington Grammar School for Boys is seeking an inspirational and motivational leader to become our new Headteacher for this excellent 11-18, selective Boys’ School from September 2021.

This is an ideal opportunity if you are an ambitious individual looking to further your career as a leader and provides an exciting opportunity for you to join a school that offers a broad and balanced curriculum.

The school is consistently oversubscribed and has grown to six forms of entry. Our sixth form, WG6, is shared with Wilmington Grammar School for Girls 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 our sixth form there is a further opportunity for external students to enter WG6.

As the figurehead for the school, your focus will always be on providing the best possible education for our students. You will have a deep understanding of pedagogy and curriculum and will be able to inspire confidence in governors, staff, students and other members of the community. Our motto, ‘Forward Thinking, Traditional Values’ is important and underlines our constant ambition to improve in spite of our success. You will work closely with the Headteachers of our other schools, and this support will help you in the role.

The role of Headteacher is challenging, varied and hugely rewarding and you will be well supported.  Your leadership will truly make a difference by impacting directly on the young people who attend the school both immediately and for the rest of their lives.

To be our ideal candidate you will have a track record of delivering improvement at whole school level, as well as a secure understanding of how to successfully manage and achieve change.  You will need to understand how data, teaching and learning, and curriculum design interrelate and be able to use this information to identify clear actions that will have a positive impact.  An ability to lead and motivate staff and students is essential alongside the ability to develop their confidence and trust in you.

If you decide that you would like to find out more about the school, please get in touch for an informal discussion. Please call Mrs Jenny Owen  on 01322 223090 extn 102.
