We need an energetic, positive and resilient Assistant Head of School to join our skilled leadership team, as we transform the learning experience of the children attending our school. Here at Brierley Forest Primary & Nursery School the transformation is already underway; we have a fully refurbished and redesigned EYFS unit alongside our new purpose built school and our curriculum is underpinned by a commitment to securing excellent learning behaviours. Learning is further enriched by a range of challenging and exciting activities such as climbing and paddle power but there is more to do.

If you are a confident and skilled practitioner who can quickly build effective relationships with children, including those who sometimes display challenging behaviour, then this could be the ideal post for you to develop your skills and progress your career.

Please include a supporting statement of no more than 1000 words with your application. The statement will demonstrate your track record for supporting children to achieve high academic standards and will evidence your creative and effective behaviour management approaches.

Visits to the school are very welcome and will give you the opportunity to find out about our work and how we see this role impacting across the whole school.

Dates for visits are;

23.1.19 @2.00 pm

25.1.19 @9.15 am

30.1.19 @ 4.00 pm.
