Job Title: Associate Assistant Principal and Head of Sixth Form

Contract: Full-time, Permanent

Start: September 2024

What we are looking for:

We are looking for a passionate and inspiring Head of Sixth Form to join our supportive and talented leadership team at Tewksbury Academy. The successful candidate will be appointed to Associate Assistant Principal level and be part of our Extended Leadership Team. We are a growing organisation, looking for professional and ambitious people, with a passion for transforming our students’ learning.

As AAP, there may be some flexibility around specific whole school roles and responsibilities depending on your current experience and leadership areas, but your main focus will be leadership of our Sixth Form provision. We welcome applications from any subject discipline, but we would be especially keen to receive applications from teachers who specialise in Maths, Computing or Business Studies.

The Academy is well placed at Junction 9 of the M5. It is equi-distant between Bristol and Birmingham and close to the Cotswolds, the Malvern Hills and the historic towns of Gloucester, Worcester and Cheltenham.  Tewkesbury itself is a pretty, medieval market town with fine half-timbered buildings, overhanging upper storeys, narrow alleys and a beautiful 12th century Norman abbey. 

Your opportunity:

We can offer you the opportunity to advance your career within a supportive academy environment. We provide excellent training and development opportunities within the Federation, including a full induction programme for early career and experienced teachers. Training is both local and/or delivered through our excellent stand-alone training facility at the CLF Institute. For teachers, the CLF Institute aims to provide a continuum of development through each career stage from initial teacher training (ITT), for Early Career Teachers (ECT), recently qualified teachers in their early career development, to successive stages of leadership through to Headship and beyond.
