Headteacher
Salary: L9 - L12: £53,973 - £58,105
Required to start January 2024.
We are a Local Authority maintained through school, ages 4-16, with a Pupil Referral Unit designation which is one of just many things that makes us very different. However, we are a school and therefore we are governed by the usual education systems and process including Ofsted inspections.
This is a good school, and a unique school supported by a committed group of active Managers. We teach a wide variety of young people: some young people who are among the most able and articulate in the country, and some with the most profound and multiple learning difficulties. We teach some young people who are at the beginning of their school careers and, sadly, some who are near the end of their lives. We provide education across 2 hospital sites, an outreach centre as well as in young people’s homes across Devon, except for Torbay and Plymouth. I cannot imagine that any staff faces a greater variety of challenges, but I believe the rewards are also greater in proportion.
The contribution of our previous Head to our success has been crucial, and she may be regarded as one of our outstanding assets. We are looking to appoint someone who is capable of building on her achievements and leading our staff to deliver excellent education to our young people.
