**About this post**:
Following current incumbent’s eight highly successful years in post, we now seek to appoint a dynamic, innovative and enthusiastic Head of Sixth Form to lead pupils and colleagues.

Committed to our shared school values and mission, our new Head of Sixth Form will work closely with the Headmaster and senior colleagues to build an inspirational post-sixteen environment for students and staff, characterised by high aspiration and achievement. Supported by the newly-created role of Deputy Head of Sixth Form, the Head of Sixth Form’s priorities will be the promotion of a safe and studious atmosphere in which independent learning and healthy social relationships characterise students’ experiences. In so doing, the Head of Sixth Form will display highly developed leadership skills, including as an effective and engaging communicator, securing the commitment of all staff to a shared vision for Sixth Form excellence.

The Head of Sixth Form is a member of the School’s extended Senior Management Team, contributing to the School’s operational management, self-evaluation processes and strategic development planning.

Specific duties include:

- monitoring and promoting Sixth Form students’ academic and social progress, coordinating excellent communication between students, school staff, students’ parents and external professionals, as appropriate, to realise the best possible outcomes for each student;
- oversight of the operation of the Sixth Form-run School Tuck Shop;
- with the Deputy Head of Sixth Form, leading the Sixth Form tutor team, promoting effective collaborative planning and promoting equity in delivering the highest standards of pastoral care, mentoring, careers support and social development for all students;
- planning and delivering the Sixth Form assemblies programme, including arranging external speakers as appropriate;
- promoting the highest levels of student attendance, making sure that comprehensive and accurate records of attendance and absence within the year group are maintained, all absences investigated, and data is used to monitor trends and inform interventions;
- liaising closely with the Deputy Head (Academic) to plan for the strategic development of the Sixth Form’s academic curriculum, and to support individual and wider pupils’ academic progress in all aspects of the curriculum;
- liaising closely with the Deputy Head (Pastoral), the Deputy Head (Head of Residential), the Head of Safeguarding (DSL) and other agencies when required, to ensure the best support for the pastoral needs of individual pupils, to promote their mental, physical and social wellbeing, and to plan for the strategic development of Sixth Form pastoral provision;
- co-ordinating Sixth Form parent-teacher consultation evenings, including parents’ information briefings and all other Sixth Form events;
- with other senior staff, participating in the Individual Support on-call system as required;
- conducting annual review meetings, both private and EHCP (training provided), ensuring the timely collation and submission of reports, and updating colleagues regarding pupils’ progress, future development plans and annual targets;
- promoting good relations with other schools’ sixth forms, embracing opportunities for collaboration to enhance opportunities for students;

The above list of duties is not exhaustive, and the post-holder may be required to perform such other duties as may be, from time to time, deemed necessary and appropriate by the Headmaster. This is a non-residential post.
