To our children, staff, parents and Governors Nexus school is far more than just a school.  We look after one another, we support each other through life's challenges and we care about everyone’s development.  In short, we see our school as a family and we would love you to be a part of it and join us as our new Headteacher. 

Our SEN school, which caters to children with profound, severe and complex needs, is built on foundations of innovation, excellence and inspiration.  Our school can provide a blank canvas for the right leader to inspire change, and instil a legacy of aspirational outcomes for our children.  Working together, both in school and in the wider community is vital, so we are proud to be part of KSENT, a co-operative trust which is formed by 16 member special schools and 8 partner special schools across Kent.  We want to develop our collaborative working even further by opening a primary phase satellite in early 2018 and aim to develop a secondary phase satellite in the future too.  

Our beautiful new school building boasts fantastic facilities, specially designed to support and improve our students’ learning at every opportunity.  Our dedicated staff embody our vision and values. They work together to develop each child as an individual and nurture the skills required to grow their self-esteem, self-worth and independence in order to achieve their full potential. 

You will be joining a school that is progressing rapidly to be rated good, and has the potential to be truly outstanding.  With your passion and inspirational leadership, and our commitment to support you and your professional development, we believe that together we can achieve great things for the Nexus family.  We are ready for the challenge, are you? 

Our School and all its personnel are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of the children. This post is subject to an Enhanced Disclosure Application to the Disclosure and Barring Service and a CV Verification process.
