2 weeks ago


Brighouse, Calderdale, United Kingdom Brighouse High School Full time

This is a rare opportunity to join a strong sixth form team, drive through the strong ethos at the heart of our college and shape the future of a wide range of students.

We are looking for a candidate with a proven track record of securing good outcomes for students across the secondary age range, but also for someone with a real passion for improving the 16-19 experience and outcomes.

From September 2024, we wish to secure an enthusiastic and driven leader who will support our Head of Sixth Form to build on the success of the college, develop the curriculum to meet ever changing needs and support the pastoral care of a diverse range of fabulous students.

At a time when there is significant change in the 16-19 curriculum and challenges around funding, we are proud to retain a comprehensive 11-19 provision in East Calderdale and are proud of the range of courses offered. Your role, should be successful, will be support this thriving provision to develop and strengthen that offer for years to come.

Our vibrant Sixth Form College is situated on a separate post-16 site approximately one mile from the main school campus. Many staff members teach and support across both sites building familiarity and continuity in for our own students who progress to our post-16 provision, but the separate site also provides an exciting opportunity to learn and work in a college environment and this attracts additional students from wide distance across Calderdale, Kirklees and Bradford.

Our February 2022 inspection, Ofsted recognised that "There is an acute awareness of what pupils need to support them in their stage of learning or employment. This runs through the school from Year 7 to the sixth form".

"Subject leaders have a thoughtful approach to the curriculum, prioritising the needs of the pupils. They place a great deal of trust in the teachers, who are knowledgeable."

Please email Kath Jackson for further details and an application pack
