School Leadership Teaching
New Mills School
At New Mills School, our purpose is to relentlessly support all students to achieve their best academic and personal outcomes, regardless of their starting point. New Mills School is an exciting place to be, and we are looking to appoint a dynamic Assistant Headteacher who shares this same purpose to join our passionate and hard-working leadership team. The person appointed will provide creativity, ambition, and strong leadership, building on the significant rapid school improvement that is currently taking place at New Mills School. The postholder will be accountable for the leadership and development of Behaviour and Attitudes within the school and will lead the Heads of Key Stage, Year Managers, and Attendance team.
The main purpose of the role is to provide strategic vision and leadership to support all students to be ready to learn, as consistently demonstrated by their attendance, punctuality, behaviour, and outcomes. The Behaviour and Attitudes Assistant Headteacher is responsible for:
- Sustaining improvements in attendance and punctuality and reducing persistent absence
- Leading the curriculum and pastoral team in ensuring that collaboration between students, parents/carers and staff promotes positive behaviour
- Leading the effective use of data to triangulate academic progress, attendance, and behaviour to ensure all barriers to students making positive progress are removed.
Why choose New Mills School?
Our school is warm and welcoming, inclusive, and caring. One of our strengths is in our size – we are large enough to offer a broad curriculum and a range of extra-curricular experiences for our students but small enough to get to know everyone very quickly.
We are positioned on the edge of the High Peak, close to the Peak District National Park, yet within easy reach of the centres of Stockport, Manchester, and Macclesfield.
We can offer you a warm welcome, our full support, appropriate, relevant CPD and beautiful High Peak views.
Please feel free to visit on our Open Evening on Thursday 28th September, 5pm to 8pm, where you will see our school alive with activity; we are confident you will be impressed with the enthusiasm and teamwork you will see. You are also encouraged to contact Pete Eckersley via [email protected] if you wish to attend any of the Headteacher tours available on Tuesday, 3rd October at 4pm or Wednesday, 4th October at 8am.
The full job description, personal specification, and further school information are attached.
If you feel you share our values, have the vision and drive for excellence and want to be part of an enthusiastic, dedicated, and well-resourced team, committed to ensuring that students fulfil their potential, then we would like to hear from you.
