Job Introduction
The White House School Website
The White House School offers a specialist learning provision for children from the ages of 6 to 11. We emphasise the development of core academic understanding, encourage creativity, celebrate outdoor learning, and promote the growth of essential life skills. We aim to establish a safe, creative, and vibrant environment where children feel challenged and supported in their learning, achieving high levels of wellbeing and academic success. We aim to nurture and develop mutual respect, tolerance, teamwork, perseverance, kindness, and good manners.
Due to planned growth, we are looking to appoint an Assistant Headteacher to lead on Standards and Audits. The post will support the work of the Deputy Headteacher and Headteacher.
This is an exciting opportunity to join a growing and developing school and to become an integral part of the Senior Leadership Team supporting the work of the dedicated, motivated, and inspiring teachers and support staff, whilst striving for success for all.
As Assistant Headteacher for Standards and Audits, you will be an experienced teacher with a passion for supporting pupils with special educational needs. Working closely with the headteacher and other senior colleagues, you will use your leadership skills to manage compliance against the Independent School Standards Ofsted, and other relevant regulatory bodies. You will also have 0.6 classroom teaching duties.
Suitable candidates will already have managerial responsibilities with a proven track record in leading and developing inclusion practices. This experience may have come from an SLT role or a departmental role. This may be the first SLT role for the right candidate, but they would need to demonstrate a strong and effective approach in previous roles.
We would love to hear from you if you are confident, resilient, have excellent communication skills, an eye for detail and share our passion for creating the best possible opportunities and outcomes for our students.
