An exciting opportunity has arisen for an outstanding, inspirational leader to join our thriving and successful Trust as Assistant Head of our primary phase. We are looking for someone who is dynamic and has the gravitas and experience to help deliver the school's strategic vision.

We have made substantial improvements in outcomes across the primary phase and our KS2 SATs data are consistently above the national averages along with the Year 4 Multiplication Check. However, we are not complacent and there is still room for further improvement; there is no glass ceiling for what our pupils can achieve. Our success is built on high aspirations and the positive relationships between pupils, parents and the staff at Langdon.

The role demands someone who has excellent emotional intelligence, is measured in their approach and understands the importance of engaging with all stakeholders. This role is not for the faint hearted and you will need to demonstrate resilience, but the rewards will be fulfilling, seeing young people develop and reach their potential.

The specific responsibilities for this role include:

·       Provide strategic and operational leadership for the EYFS and KS1 phases.

·       Oversee curriculum implementation across all subjects in EYFS and KS1.

·       Lead on early reading, phonics, and early language development,

·       Maintain high standards of teaching and learning, ensuring exceptional pupil progress and effective interventions.

If you share our vision and ambition to take a leading role in shaping the future direction of our school and changing the lives for our school community, then we would love to hear from you.
