The posting

An exciting opportunity to join our leadership team

Leycroft Academy is a specialist primary school for autistic children from Reception to Year 6. Our vision is to enable children to understand the world around them and the talents within them, so they can become fulfilled individuals and active, compassionate citizens.

We are recruiting for two Assistant Headteachers:

Assistant Headteacher - Pastoral

Assistant Headteacher - Teaching and Learning, Curriculum and Assessment

One post has arisen through the resignation of an existing postholder, and the second is a newly created position designed to increase capacity within our Senior Leadership Team. This investment reflects our commitment to strengthening leadership, supporting school improvement and ensuring we are well placed to deliver the very best outcomes for pupils, staff and the wider community.

We strive to Strengthen, Harness, Invest, Nurture and Empower every child, ensuring they are supported to develop confidence, independence, and a strong sense of belonging as a member of the #LeycroftCrew.

As Assistant Headteacher, you will play a key role in shaping the strategic direction of the school. Working closely with the Executive Headteacher, Head of School and wider leadership team, you will provide strong and effective leadership across the school to ensure the highest standards of safeguarding, inclusion, attendance, pupil welfare, and educational provision.

We are looking for someone who:

  • Is an outstanding classroom practitioner with a proven track record of securing excellent outcomes for pupils.
  • Is an ambitious and strategic leader with the ability to turn vision into action.
  • Has high expectations of themselves, colleagues and pupils.
  • Can inspire, motivate and develop staff through supportive and effective leadership.
  • Has excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
  • Is resilient, organised and able to work effectively in a demanding and rewarding environment.

In return, we can offer:

  • A welcoming, supportive and ambitious school community.
  • A committed and talented staff team.
  • An opportunity to make a significant contribution to the strategic development of the school.
  • High-quality professional development and opportunities for career progression.
  • Supportive governors and a collaborative leadership team.
  • Enthusiastic pupils who are keen to learn and succeed.
  • A school that is committed to staff wellbeing and professional growth.

Further details about each role can be found in the relevant recruitment pack.

Come and be part of our journey

If you are ready to take the next step in your leadership career and believe you have the vision, experience and commitment to make a real difference, we would love to hear from you.

Visits to the school are warmly encouraged. To arrange a visit or for an informal conversation about the role, please contact Kari Anson, Executive Headteacher- [email protected]

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
