Assistant Headteacher for Inclusion
Start date September 2026. We are looking to have someone in post by 1st September, but we can be flexible on the start date for the right person.
As Assistant Headteacher for Inclusion, the post holder will provide strategic leadership and operational management of inclusion across the school, ensuring high quality provision and outcomes for all pupils, particularly those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).
Paulton Junior School is a large junior school located in the village of Paulton (between Bath and Bristol) with 240 pupils on roll. Our mission to create a vibrant, inclusive, and nurturing environment where every pupil feels safe, valued, and inspired to reach their full potential. We encourage our pupils to be ambitious in their learning and resilient in the face of challenges.
We believe that children succeed best when there is a strong partnership between school and home. We work closely with our families and the wider Paulton community to ensure that every child is supported, heard, and encouraged every step of the way.
As our wonderful SENDCo prepares for retirement this summer, we are introducing a new leadership structure at Paulton Junior School. We are looking for an enthusiastic, passionate leader to join our senior team in the newly created role of Assistant Headteacher for Inclusion.
This senior position will build on our current success while taking a strategic, whole-school approach to inclusion. It is a fantastic opportunity to shape a new role and make a lasting difference to our children.
We invite you to visit us, meet our dedicated staff, and see for yourself what makes Paulton Junior School such a special place to learn and grow.
