About the Role

Head of School (KS2) L6-15

Ashdown Primary School in Crowborough is looking for a Head of School for the Junior Site from September 2017

We are a two form entry split site school with an OfSTED rating of good. We value every child for what they are and prepare them for everything they could be.

We need a new Head of School to lead our Junior Site.  You will work alongside the Head of School for the Infant Site, under the leadership of our Executive Headteacher, Mrs Kate Owbridge.

This job promises all the things that are great about headship:

- Enabling great kids to achieve. - Shaping your own staff. - Collaborating with strong governors. - Working with supportive parents. - Making your mark in a school that is going places.

You will have the freedom to run your own site, while having responsibility for assessment and data across the whole school (EYFS, KS1 and KS2), but with the comfort of knowing the buck stops with the Executive Head!

Ashdown Primary School commits and expects its staff to commit to East Sussex County Council’s Equal Opportunities policies.

Ashdown Primary School also takes its safeguarding responsibilities extremely seriously and is committed to keeping children safe. This post is subject to satisfactory references, DBS checks, and questions will be asked at interview and of referees as to the suitability of candidates to work with children.

Additional Information

Work Permits: we may be able to obtain a Work Permit for this post but this is subject to meeting the requirements of the UK Border Agency’s Points-based Immigration System.

From 6 April 2011 the Home Office has placed a permanent restriction on the number of migrant workers that all Tier 2 (General) Sponsors can recruit. Due to the restrictions we cannot guarantee that individuals that meet the requirements of the Points-based Immigration System will be issued with clearance to obtain work permits. This authority is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All staff will be expected to hold or be willing to obtain Enhanced DBS check or Enhanced check for Regulated Activity with the Disclosure & Barring Services (previously the Criminal Records Bureau).

Equal Opportunities

East Sussex County Council is an equal opportunities employer. We welcome applications from all suitable candidates, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, disability or age. All applications are treated on merit.
