Ladybridge High School is a happy and successful school with a clear mission and agreed beliefs that are shared as a school community. We are focused on enabling our learners to achieve excellent academic outcomes whilst developing personal qualities that enable them to thrive in the future. More information about our distinctive educational philosophy can be found here.

The wonderfully diverse population of learners, the emphasis on professional learning for staff and the friendly atmosphere make Ladybridge an interesting and enjoyable place to work. We believe that year on year improvement is best achieved through strong relationships and high quality training opportunities. 

We are seeking to appoint a new Assistant Headteacher with the drive and determination to enable our school to step closer to the vision of the Ladybridge Trivium.  The new Assistant Headteacher will be responsible for Behaviour and Safeguarding.  Our approach to improving relationships and behaviour is distinctive and we encourage candidates to carefully consider the information in the recruitment pack before applying.

We have a strong belief that education is about more than great exam results. Whilst achieving excellent outcomes at Key Stage Four is vital - we place equal importance on the provision of our arts curriculum, the development of our outdoor learning provision at Key Stage Three and cross-curricular project based learning that engages our local community.  

Interested colleagues should complete the application form and write a letter of application to outline how your experiences to date prepare you for this role. In addition to this, please provide your reflections on the information provided in the recruitment pack about our relationships and behaviour strategy.

The start date is Tuesday 22nd April 2025, however a later start date can be negotiated after appointment if necessary.

Please note that CVs and late applications will not be accepted.
