The Governors invite applications for these important positions joining a successful Senior Leadership Team at this selective school which has been five times judged OUTSTANDING by OFSTED, the most recent Inspection being November 2022. The school was judged Outstanding in a Catholic Schools Inspection in October 2024. These two roles have arisen, one due to retirement and one due to internal promotion, offering exciting opportunities for school leadership and providing excellent preparation for Headship.
The postholders will take responsibility for the pastoral and academic care of students across Key Stages 3 or 4 assisted by Deputy Heads of both Key Stages. Areas of responsibility will be negotiated in response to the specific skills and experience the successful applicant brings, together with the needs of the school and in conjunction with the Senior Leadership Team.
