Assistant Headteacher (Behaviour) Permanent role/Full time

Our school has been growing rapidly as we have taken thirty extra students into Year 7 every year for the last six years, and now we have close to 2000 students, meaning we are significantly oversubscribed. This growth is coupled with our new onsite Resourced Provision (ASD focus and work that will begin soon on our long-awaited 24 classroom block. Due to this, there needs to be a subsequent increase in staffing. 

Having maintained our Good judgment from Ofsted (September 2023), we are looking at the next stage for our school’s development and believe now is the time to increase our team of senior leaders.  All of our senior team have teaching commitments, which drives the requirement for this expansion to allow us to maintain our availability to students, staff and other stakeholders.

This position is to act as the deputy for our Deputy Headteacher for Behaviour, Character and Culture, but the successful candidate will have their own areas of responsibility and lead their own staff team. Working with us at Bingley Grammar will provide the successful candidate with outstanding training opportunities to facilitate further career development in the future. This role will also encompass safeguarding.  

The responsibilities for the role will be finalised with the Deputy Headteacher to ensure that we utilise the strengths of the new member of the team. The school has a very democratic style of leadership at all levels, and leaders have a significant degree of freedom under a fully distributed leadership structure.

The pastoral team itself is highly experienced and has a vast amount of knowledge regarding behaviour and safeguarding. It contributed directly to the main positives in the recent Ofsted report.  Much of this team comprises skilled support staff with high levels of experience and commitment to our students and their families.

If you are interested in working in a large, dynamic, busy and genuinely comprehensive school, please feel free to contact us for a conversation about the role and/or a tour of the school, plus an opportunity to meet members of the team you could be working with.

We can offer you:

• The opportunity to work within a friendly, dedicated and motivated team
• The opportunity to make a difference to both students and parents
• Proactive support for your career development. We have dedicated CPD time for all staff every other week.
• A collaborative and supportive Leadership team and Governing body
