Assistant Headteacher

What we are looking for:

Would you like to be part of an exciting journey by joining a newly opened and growing school, based at our brand-new site with outstanding facilities off Thorpeville, from April 2025? Would you like to work in professional partnership with a school (NSB) ranked as the top state comprehensive school in the East Midlands by the Sunday Times for 2022, based on GCSE and A Level results?

The NSB Trust is looking for an Assistant Head, with any subject specialism, to join our growing, co-educational, 11-16 academy, Northampton School. We are seeking applicants who share in our ambitious, supportive and aspirational culture and can help to deliver our curriculum to the highest standards whilst also embracing the ethos, values and visions of The Trust. You will work closely with the Headteacher and Deputy Headteachers to ensure consistent levels of provision across the school.

You will also join part of an incredible team of teachers who are passionate about providing young people with the opportunity to grow and thrive in this growing community. We are already immensely proud of our extracurricular programme of activities, and it is essential that the successful applicant can contribute to drive this provision forward at Northampton School.

The successful candidate must have a proven track record within middle leadership within an 11-16 school.

This post will align with the Personal Development strand of the Ofsted framework with oversight of PD/PSHE/Careers and associated structures within the school initially, however, it is likely that exact responsibilities will be assigned and confirmed following appointment of the full Senior Leadership Team and may be amended in the future. This postholder will have remission commensurate with the size of the school. As the school grows, so remission and salary range for this post will increase.

We offer a truly exciting range of CPD opportunities for all teachers and leaders across the school and are wholly committed to investing in the development of our staff in The NSB Trust.
