About this Role

We are excited to recruit an Assistant Headteacher to this important area of whole-school responsibility:

Assistant Headteacher: Inclusion

Candidates should have a strong record of senior or middle leadership, working proactively and constructively with children, colleagues, and parents. It is essential that you can inspire and lead staff, and be a team player, supporting and coaching middle leaders and working in partnership with SLT colleagues. We are looking for people who are ambitious for our children and for themselves, with a strong commitment to their own professional learning. In return we can offer very strong opportunities for career development, and the opportunity to work within a positive, reflective, strategic and student-focused team.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a school on an exciting journey of improvement, but also a Trust that is committed to providing the very best opportunities for both staff and children. During an Ofsted inspection in March 2026, the significant school improvement journey was recognised and celebrated. The school is seeking an outstanding leader of inclusion to ensure this area of school continues to improve so all students, regardless of starting points, can maximise their potential. Chorus Education Trust is at an exciting time of growth and seeks to work in partnership with both primary and secondary schools across South Yorkshire and Derbyshire. Members of our schools' Senior Leadership Teams will have the opportunity to work with their equivalent colleagues on developing cross-Trust strategies.
