Salisbury Cathedral School (SCS) is a wonderful school with an enviable reputation in the area for providing children with a nurturing, varied and enriching education in the most beautiful environment, surrounded by woodland and nestled under the sheltering presence of Salisbury Cathedral.
We hold each child at our heart and seek to make every day a wonderful opportunity to explore curiously, connect meaningfully and live vibrantly. We support everyone in our community to embrace opportunity and each new day is approached with energy, gratitude and an exciting sense of possibility. We encourage our children to be curious, creative and caring; to hold a wonder about the world around them and to be ambitious for themselves and for others.
Our vibrant learning culture gives children extensive opportunities to discover and develop their talents in academic fields, in sport, in the creative and performing arts, and in the wider community. The breadth of timetabled and extracurricular opportunities we offer rivals many larger schools and our dedicated team delivers the highest quality teaching, inspiring our pupils to bring the best in everything they do.
Our staff are known for their energy and commitment, each day striving to achieve the highest educational outcomes and bringing out the best in each child. Our personalised learning approach and ethos of always giving of your best ensures our pupils have the strongest start in life. We pride ourselves on the close relationships we build with each of our pupils and their families. We get to know their strengths, we are by their side through their struggles, we celebrate their achievements and we support them in their transition to exciting futures.
We believe that every child has something valuable to offer and that in our setting, guided by expert staff, we can find and nurture a child’s gift and give each child the confidence to tackle life’s challenges with spirit and determination. Based on their achievements at SCS, our pupils earn places at a variety of senior schools, often with generous scholarships.
The crucially important role of Assistant Head (Wellbeing) and Designated Safeguarding Lead presents a valuable opportunity to shape pastoral care and wellbeing practice in the most wonderful of schools. Salisbury Cathedral School was founded in 1091 and sits in the heart of the cathedral close. We educate and care for approximately 220 children in an extraordinarily beautiful setting. Here, we celebrate childhood and create an exciting space for pupils to explore the wonders of life!
There is something truly unique about our vibrant community: there is never a dull moment (!) and our pupils bounce around pushing at the doors of opportunity every day. We are looking for a passionate, knowledgeable and empathic leader to join our Senior Leadership Team and help us shape children's futures in the best possible way. We welcome applications from those with experience of middle/senior leadership and would be very happy to have initial conversations with interested candidates prior to application.
All those employed at SCS work to provide a positive environment where all children are provided with an extensive and balanced learning opportunity. Staff members ensure they are inclusive of all pupils and promote the educational, emotional, physical, social and spiritual development and wellbeing of our children.
