Bridge Learning Campus is looking to appoint an Assistant Headteacher – Pastoral to make a significant and strategic contribution to our continuing school improvement by removing barriers to school attendance and enabling all pupils to access our high-quality curriculum.

What are we looking for:

The successful candidate will take a strategic lead on improving attendance and the associated necessary pastoral support. You will have the freedom and opportunity to make brave and bold decisions in the best interests of our pupils.
