Are you a dynamic leader with a passion for transforming young lives? Do you believe every student deserves a chance to succeed, regardless of their past challenges? We're looking for a visionary Head of School to lead a vibrant and successful alternative provision school in West London.
This isn't your typical school. We're a supportive community dedicated to creating tailored, engaging learning environments for students with diverse needs. As part of a larger trust of specialist educators, we have a strong foundation and a "Good" rating from Ofsted, but we're always striving to do more. If you're ready to make a significant impact and lead a dedicated team, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.
Your Role: Impact and Inspiration
As our Head of School, you'll be the driving force behind our mission. You will:
Lead with a student-first philosophy, ensuring every child gets the individualised support they need to thrive.
Innovate the curriculum to not only deliver academic results but also build crucial life skills and personal confidence.
Champion our students and their special educational needs, building a strong, inclusive culture for all.
Mentor and develop a passionate team, helping them grow and excel in their careers.
Build strong community ties with parents, carers, and local partners, making our school a cornerstone of the community.
Who We're Looking For
You don't just need a title; you need a vision. We're seeking a leader who is:
An exceptional and inspiring motivator with a proven track record of managing teams and driving success.
Strategic and forward-thinking, able to balance ambitious educational goals with the practicalities of day-to-day operations.
A natural relationship-builder, skilled at connecting with a wide range of people, from students to staff and community members.
Experienced in working with young people who have special educational needs or challenging behaviours.
Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and substantial experience in a senior leadership role are required. Additional leadership or special needs qualifications are a plus.
The Perks of the Job
We know that great leaders deserve great support. That's why we offer:
A competitive salary on the Outer London Leadership Pay Scale: L21-L27 (£85,396 - £98,280).
Generous annual leave and flexible working arrangements.
Access to extensive professional development and a strong network of specialists.
Robust well-being support, including mental health first-aiders.
Excellent benefits, including a cycle-to-work scheme, discounted gym memberships, and enhanced parental leave.
