We are looking for an outstanding teacher, with sound experience in the pastoral field. The Head of Year 7 is crucial role within the pastoral structure of the Academy and is essential in maintaining the purposeful and disciplined environment in which Mossbourne students excel. They will take on the responsibility of welcoming and supporting the transition of pupils and parents into the Mossbourne Secondary environment. They will be crucial in establishing expectations from the point at which students begin the secondary phase of the Mossbourne journey. This is a role which is static and specialised and, as such comes with responsibilities unique to a Head of Year leading the year group. 

The successful candidate will join our dynamic Pastoral Team reporting directly to the Head of School. They will lead a team of form tutors, taking overall responsibility for the organisation, welfare and discipline of the year group and in the identification of students who require guidance and support.

The Head of Year is expected to embrace a sense of ‘ownership’ of the Year group as a whole, and of the students within their care. The position requires a candidate who is robust, rigorous and who believes in the importance of paying attention to detail. The position is both demanding and rewarding, and requires an outstanding teacher with the ability to multi-task and prioritise demands. Liaison with parents and external agencies is an important aspect of the job. The Academy invites applications from candidates who will be well-organised, creative, willing to ‘go the extra mile’ and who will be focused on the attainment of all learners, accepting no excuses for underachievement.

Additionally, the Head of Year 7 takes the lead role in the transition of Year 6 pupils. The Head of Year must be an excellent and diligent communicator and comfortable with public speaking. The Head of Year will organise all transition events including presenting to parents. The Head of Year 7 will need to liaise with primary schools, external agencies and the borough regarding the transition process. They will also be accountable for the sharing of information and use of pupil data.

If you are passionate about innovative education, have a commitment to personal excellence and are ready for a new challenge, we welcome your application.
