Assistant Head College

2 weeks ago

Wimborne, United Kingdom Canford Full time

Founded in 1923, Canford School is set in 250 acres of inspirational parkland on the outskirts of Wimborne in Dorset. The school, which has some 660 boys and girls aged 13-18, is amongst the country’s top co-educational boarding schools. Canford has established a commanding reputation built on its excellent academic achievement, breadth of education and a fresh lively approach.

Our vision is for a school community where all are 'inspired to explore, empowered to express and challenged to excel.' We are committed to educating pupils to make a real and positive difference in a challenging, diverse and often inequitable world.

As part of the ‘Canford 2023 and Beyond’ strategic plan the school is developing its Sixth Form facilities and structure to ensure that this critical phase of every Canfordian’s educational journey is both dynamic and relevant to enable them to survive and thrive in a very fast changing world. For insights into The College Concept please see the brochure via the link below:
The Assistant Head College (AHC) is a new role which will play a crucial part in this exciting and significant development for Canford, its community and the high quality educational offering it delivers. It is expected that this post is one which will enable the holder to develop their career experience at a senior leadership level prior to seeking promotion to senior deputy or headship positions.

The key tasks for the role of Assistant Head College (AHC) are outlined below:
**Reporting**

The AHC will report to the Deputy Head Co-curricular (DHCC) but will work very closely with the other Deputy Heads and Assistant Heads as part of the Senior leadership Team (SLT), and with other key staff.

The AHC will be responsible for the overall development, co-ordination and running of the broader personal development and educational experience of all Sixth Form pupils.

The academic programme will be led and managed by the Deputy Head Academic (DHA) and the Assistant Head Academic (AHA) but there will be close collaboration and co-ordination with the AHC in relation to the academic curriculum and the performance and progress of Sixth Form pupils.

The day to day supervision and management of the pastoral care and wellbeing of Upper Sixth pupils based in The College will be conducted by the resident College Pastoral Warden and two Assistant Pastoral Wardens who will report to the Deputy Head Pastoral (DHP). It is expected that there will be regular and frequent collaboration and co-ordination between the AHC and the College Pastoral Warden and the Assistant Pastoral Wardens.

**General Responsibilities.**
- Membership of the Canford Senior Leadership Team.
- Contribution to the strategic development of the school, primarily through attending full SLT meetings before and during each term and attendance at governing body committee meetings as appropriate.
- Contribution to the formulation and development of the school’s policies and development plans with particular focus on Sixth Form education and personal development.
- In liaison with the Headmaster and the SLT, the AHC will ensure ongoing and regular review and monitoring of the structures and systems which underpin the effective and efficient running of the school.
- Oversight of the day to day operational running of the educational functions of the school and liaison with the school support services to ensure this is achieved effectively and efficiently.
- To be a regular and frequent presence around The College, the school and at school events throughout the term. Also, there may be occasions when there will be a need to be part of a formal SLT cover rota in the holiday periods.
- The AHC will, from time to time, be required to deal with disciplinary issues involving pupils and, when necessary, to carry out disciplinary investigations of either pupils or staff.
- Liaise and work closely with the Admissions & Marketing Departments to help with successful recruitment of new pupils, building relationships with feeder schools and promotion of the school externally.

**Specific Responsibilities**
- Leadership and co-ordination of pupil (and parent) induction and transition into and through the Sixth Form and beyond Canford (working in close collaboration with SLT, vertical house HSMs, The College Pastoral Wardens and other key staff).
- Overseeing and managing the Sixth Form Tutor system (Lower Sixth and Upper Sixth) including training and allocation of Sixth Form Tutors, providing ongoing guidance and support for Sixth Form Tutors and monitoring the effectiveness of tutoring.
- Leadership and management of The Canford Futures Programme supported by the Futures Co-ordinator, the Development Office and the Head of Higher Education.
- Leadership and management of Pupil Leadership in the Sixth Form, working in close collaboration with the DHCC and the Assistant Head Pupil Development (AHPD) who oversees Pupil Leadership in the Lower School.
- Leadership and managem
