Assistant Headteacher, Brannel School, Ref: BR024
Required to start 1st September 2023
Permanent, Full-Time (1.0fte)
Leadership Spine 10 – 14
The Assistant Headteacher, under the direction of the Headteacher or Deputy Headteacher, will take
responsibility for a significant operational area of the school, including management of designated staff,
and for leading an area of school improvement which will be included in the School Development Plan.
The specific area of responsibility will be agreed with the successful candidate, and will reflect their
individual strengths, professional experience, knowledge and skills, and personal qualities. The Assistant
Headteacher will also have a reasonable timetabled teaching commitment, complying with the
Teachers’ Standards and modelling best practice for others.
Brannel is a “Good” school — inspected by Ofsted in 2022 — with a steadily growing number on roll. Over the last five years we have grown from 725 to 900 pupils. To accommodate demand for places, the Local Authority has funded the building of a new £2.5m teaching block, due for completion ready for the start of term in September 2023.
To support our drive for continuous school improvement, we are increasing capacity in our Senior Leadership Team. Which is why we are looking for an experienced and creative leader to help take our school to the next level.
Do you have the grit and determination to help us make Brannel outstanding? Do you view labels on children as just a challenge to overcome rather than a barrier? Have you got a true passion to help our children achieve more than they thought possible? If so, we look forward to receiving your application.
Brannel School is part of Cornwall Education Learning Trust (CELT), a family of Cornish Primary and Secondary Schools. We are ambitious for the learners in our community and have a strong culture of collaboration to enable us to achieve our mission of ‘learning together to help every child achieve more’.
