Are you ready to shape the future of a vibrant and rapidly growing Sixth Form?
We are seeking an ambitious, dynamic, and visionary leader to take our Sixth Form provision to the next stage of its development. This is a rare and exciting opportunity to build on an already strong foundation and play a pivotal role in realising a bold, forward-thinking vision for post-16 education.
Our Sixth Form is thriving — characterised by a positive culture, strong relationships, and a clear commitment to academic success. We are proud of the high-quality teaching and learning that underpins student achievement, and we are now looking for a leader who will drive this even further, embedding consistently high standards across all areas of provision.
As Head of Sixth Form, you will:
1. Provide strategic leadership for the continued growth and development of the Sixth Form
2. Champion excellence in teaching and learning, ensuring consistently high-quality classroom practice
3. Establish and sustain a culture of high expectations, where all students are supported and challenged to achieve their very best
4. Inspire students to become confident, independent learners, fully prepared for their next steps
5. Work closely with the Headteacher and senior leadership team to align the Sixth Form with the wider school vision
6. You will lead a well-structured and highly supportive Sixth Form team
This role offers a unique opportunity to help reshape the Sixth Form experience. As numbers continue to grow, we are evolving towards a more college-style model, including the potential for a broader, more flexible curriculum and an extended day, with teaching and enrichment opportunities reaching later into the afternoon.
We welcome applications from leaders with a range of subject specialisms; however, the ability to teach Criminology at Key Stage 5 would be an advantage.
We are looking for a leader who:
7. Has a proven track record of outstanding teaching and impactful leadership
8. Is passionate about post-16 education and student outcomes
9. Can think strategically while delivering operational excellence
10. Has the drive, creativity, and resilience to lead change and inspire others
11. Is committed to inclusion, aspiration, and ensuring every student can succeed
If you are ready to take on a role that combines strategic vision with tangible impact, we would love to hear from you. We understand the importance of work-life balance and will give due consideration to requests for flexible working.
We are proud to be an inclusive employer and encourage applications from all qualified individuals.
