Assistant Head: Sixth Form

Uppingham School has an exciting opportunity for an outstanding teacher to assume a key leadership position within our Sixth Form as an Assistant Head.

The Sixth Form at Uppingham numbers 370 pupils and offers an extensive range of A level qualifications, along with one BTEC in Sport. As Assistant Head: Sixth Form, you will help facilitate the successful integration of new students into the Sixth Form and will also be responsible for curriculum development and academic management.

Assuming responsibility for the range of courses and qualifications offered by the Sixth Form, you will provide an innovative and original curriculum that prepares students for a successful life beyond school. You will also devise, implement and monitor academic tracking systems that will identify pupil underperformance quickly, ensuring key academic management information and effective interventions are co-ordinated with the relevant teachers and pastoral staff.

We are looking for an outstanding teacher, a visionary leader and an experienced professional, who is looking to step into their next leadership role. You will be a strong, dynamic and inspirational character, with a track record of first-rate teaching, curriculum and/or pastoral leadership and organisation. The ability to inspire others, communicate well, think flexibly, and to lead and work as part of a team is essential. High-level analytical and data-handling skills will also be essential to the successful delivery of the AHSF’s strategic aims.

This is a chance to play a key role in the strategy and delivery of our Sixth Form provision and experience, allowing our pupils to flourish and to endeavour towards success.
