Due to increased demand for places, the PRU is currently undergoing considerable refurbishment and building works facilitating expansion and increased capacity.
The children, staff and Management Committee are looking to appoint an Assistant Headteacher who not only has an inspirational character and impeccable classroom practice, but can also maintain strong relationships with staff, parents and other stakeholders.

As Assistant Headteacher you will be playing a crucial part in the future success of the whole school. You will take a lead in teaching, learning and assessment – monitoring progress, analysing assessment data, scrutinising work, observing lessons and appraising performance. You will line manage a number of staff and part of your role will include supporting your mentees, encouraging them to achieve their goals and targets, identifying appropriate, focused, CPD opportunities and ensuring all staff maintain best practice.
The post will include a teaching commitment and it is crucial you are happy to maintain some time in the classroom.
