Description

Assistant Headteacher (Required - September 2022)

JRCS

This is a unique opportunity to join a highly successful and hardworking Senior Leadership Team. We are seeking to appoint an inspirational leader who is committed to delivering the highest quality educational provision to the young people at JRCS.

The post is open to all current or aspiring Senior Leaders, specialising in any subject area, who have a proven track record of raising attainment alongside experience of delivering effective pastoral care. Potential candidates should demonstrate a significant commitment to real inclusion and to working in a challenging urban environment. We pride ourselves on being a truly inclusive school and this is actively underpinned by our motto ‘Success for All’. Academic rigour runs alongside a commitment to extra-curricular activities, and we offer our students a wide range of opportunities to pursue their studies both inside and outside the classroom.

The school’s most recent OFSTED report described the school as good with outstanding leadership and governance and outstanding spiritual, moral, social and cultural provision; this judgement was reinforced at our last Section 8 inspection in November 2017.

The school prides itself on providing staff with the most appropriate and effective support to ensure that their professional development needs are fully met. Wednesday afternoons are devoted to CPD and the school has a very strong record of developing staff.

The school is located within easy reach of central London via the District Line and yet just minutes by car from the Essex countryside. Jo Richardson is a highly successful and oversubscribed school with a good reputation in the local community.

We actively encourage potential candidates to visit our school and have set aside two afternoons for this purpose: Tuesday 22nd February between 2.00pm and 4.00pm and Thursday 24th February between 4.00pm and 6.00pm. If you do wish to visit, please contact Margaret Stone by email [email protected].

Please log onto our website for further details about the school, this post, a link to our recent Ofsted report and the application process itself. All applications should be made online by clicking the ‘Apply Now' link.

Please contact Margaret Stone by an email if you wish to arrange a visit to the school.

Closing date: Midnight on Tuesday 1st March 2022

Interviews: Thursday 10th March 2022 with shortlisted candidates from Day 1 being invited back on Friday 11th March 2022
