The Fusion Academy in Barwell is looking for an exceptional, resilient, and visionary leader to step into the role of Assistant Headteacher (Key Stages 2-5).

We aren't your typical school. We merge the expertise of a highly specialist provision with the ambition of a mainstream curriculum, creating a unique space where autistic young people and those with communication needs truly thrive.

The Role

As our Operational Lead, you will be the driving force behind our daily provision. You will lead a dedicated team that puts pupils at the heart of every decision, ensuring high-quality, deeply personalised learning that guides students toward independence.

What We’re Looking For:

An Experienced Practitioner: You know what tailored teaching and learning look like.
A Creative Innovator: You bring a quest for developing learning and a firm grip on up-to-date educational research.
Values-Driven: You embody the principles that every part of the community needs to feel valued, promote curiosity, gain self assurance, be ambitious
Resilient & Flexible: You thrive in a dynamic, diverse environment and adapt seamlessly to the demands of the school

Why Choose The Fusion Academy?

"We bridge the gap between specialist support and mainstream opportunity, ensuring our students feel safe, understood, listened to, and empowered to smash their academic goals."

If you are a passionate leader who believes that every single pupil deserves a tailored path to success, and is willing to work hard to achieve this, we want to hear from you.
