Leading with imagination and persistence, you will create a department team with a shared sense of loyalty, enjoyment, and pride in their professional development and the ability to deliver the school’s core purpose. You will have the responsibility to lead and manage staff and all aspects of the department, so that any student learning their subject does so in a structured, engaging way and becomes a confident, successful learner who will thrive in a changing world.
