Small enough to care, big enough to make a positive impact 

We are looking for an experienced Assistant Headteacher to join our team at Astley Community High School. You will work closely with the Head of School and the Senior Leadership in driving forward our behaviour and attendance strategy. 

Within our schools we have a strong sense of purpose and are strongly committed to the achievement of every student. We aim to provide quality education in a safe and caring environment, giving all of our students the opportunity to achieve their full potential. 

The successful candidate will personally have a key role in Student Support for years 9 – 13, providing strategic leadership, working collaboratively to ensure strategies and systems for behaviour, attendance and pastoral support are implemented across the schools. Your track record of contributing at a strategic level to school improvement will also show your ability to work in partnership with a range of stakeholders to achieve desired outcomes and impact.   

Although it is important that you can think strategically, you will also need to adopt a hands-on approach to deal with the diverse demands of school life and have highly developed communication skills to build effective relationships with students, parents, staff and our community. If you have a passion for education then this is a fantastic opportunity to make a significant contribution to the federation and become an integral part of our future success.   Our candidate information pack will tell you much more about this opportunity. 

Visits to the school are warmly welcomed and encouraged, please call Richard Goodman (Head of School) on 0191 2371505 to arrange. 

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. It is essential that all staff and volunteers share this commitment.  An enhanced criminal records check from the Disclosure and Barring Service is required for all posts
