Assistant Head Teacher

Permanent

We are looking to appoint an Assistant Head Teacher. The post requires someone who is child centred, innovative and shares our commitment to securing excellent outcomes for our pupils.

We are an 11-16 community comprehensive school in the borough of South Tyneside, with a pupil population of 950, which has increased rapidly over the past three years. We anticipate that our roll will increase further next year. 

Our vision at Hebburn is to have a harmonious community where the emphasis for all is on learning and achievement, where pupils feel safe and happy and where a culture of success and ambition is embedded and celebrated throughout the school and wider community. We aim to raise the aspirations of all our young people, inculcating a respect for one another and for the values of learning, citizenship and tolerance. Through challenge, partnership and support, we aim to raise standards of achievement further; create a genuine sense of community spirit; and enhance all of our pupils’ life chances for the future.

The school has excellent facilities and provides first-class opportunities for professional development. In 2012, we were lucky enough to be one of the last schools to go through the Building Schools for the Future (BSF) programme, providing a modern, well-equipped school where children can thrive.

Governors are looking to appoint an outstanding Assistant Head Teacher who will support the Head Teacher and build on our well-established reputation.

If appointed, you will work with a highly committed leadership team and Governing Board. Furthermore, our staff team, both teaching and support, are passionate about enhancing the life chances of our pupils.

Before committing to completing an application, we would advise visiting the school to undertake a tour of the site and to talk with the Head Teacher about our vision for the future.
