Job overview
The Regis School is a thriving school which sits at the heart of its community. It is one of the biggest employers in the town of Bognor Regis and boasts state-of-the-art facilities. Leaders have created an inclusive and caring environment, with a strong focus on curriculum, good teaching, personal development and effective pupil support. Students are respectful and behave well; lessons are calm and free from disruption. The school has the confidence of its community – it is successful and consistently oversubscribed, with around 1,650 pupils on roll.
With the recent promotion of the Principal internally within the Trust, we are now looking for a new leader to show the same dedication and commitment, who will continue to move the school forward as it aspires to become a genuinely excellent school. We are looking for a leader with the highest expectations, committed to continuous improvement, who believes that extraordinary success is possible for all pupils, including and especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds.
The new Principal will take over a successful school which has great strengths, much good practice, a committed staff and a highly positive culture and climate. Our aim now is for The Regis School to become exceptional. You will be an energetic people person who builds teams, wants to apply best practice, learn, share and collaborate with other Principals and schools and is determined to do their best for the children both now and in preparation for their futures.
United Learning is a big group of schools – with over 75,000 pupils and more than 10,000 staff – so we have the capacity to support you educationally and operationally. At the same time, we are values-led and base all that we do on good relationships, so you will be joining a big family. Reporting directly to the Regional Director, you will be supported both personally and professionally, benefitting from the strength of a national Group who will support your development and that of your staff and school.
We are committed to fairness, diversity and inclusion. We are currently working hard to improve representation of black, Asian and minority ethnic leaders at headship level and to raise our proportion of women leaders to match their representation in our wider workforce.
Whoever you are, if you have a strong track record of improving young people’s education and a drive to do more, we very much look forward to hearing from you.
Visits to the school are warmly encouraged, and we are holding Thursday 9th January for applicant tours. We recognise this is after the closing date for this particular role, but would encourage anyone who does apply to take a tour ahead of the interview process.
Please contact Christine Raeside, Regional Director Christine.Raeside@unitedlearning.org.uk
The closing date for the receipt of completed applications is 9 am on Tuesday 7th January 2025.

About The Regis School
The Regis School is part of United Learning, a unique group of independent and state schools working together to achieve the best in everyone.
Our vision is to provide an excellent education so that all young people are able to make a success of their lives and, if we are to realise this vision, we need to make sure we attract, develop and reward the key ingredient, our high quality, hardworking staff.
The Regis is a school that we all feel proud of and our teachers are passionate about their work. We know that teaching can be a challenging profession, but with the support we offer and a commitment to seeing the best in each other, we work tirelessly to find creative ways to educate. We have access to a Group-wide curriculum, an intranet platform that enables sharing of resources and opportunities for work shadowing and mentorship.
The Regis School is a secondary 11-18 school with over 1600 students on roll. We are an inclusive comprehensive school that aims to achieve the best for every student. This philosophy is reflected in the successful Sixth Form of 160+ students who are offered a broad range of academic and vocational programmes. Over 70% of our students progress to Higher Education each year.
The Regis School has a well-qualified, dedicated supportive and enthusiastic staff team. We have approximately 200 staff, all of whom are committed to providing the best possible education for our students. As one of the biggest employers in Bognor Regis, we emphasise the learning of adults and young people. Staff are involved in further study, research projects and in the training of teachers in partnership with local universities.
The school boasts superb facilities in all subject areas. Each teaching area has audio-video facilities and a range of ICT suites throughout the school provides access to specialist equipment. All teachers have a laptop provided, to support teaching and administration.
The Regis School aspires to be an outstanding centre of learning, serving its community and transforming lives. We seek to equip our students for a changing world through building confidence, encouraging creativity and fostering enquiry to achieve excellence. These qualities will allow our students to flourish as leaders of the future and to take their place as caring, ambitious and responsible citizens in their communities.
Academic achievement is at the heart of what we do, ensuring students leave with the highest qualifications that enable them to be competitive in the global economy. We have a strict behaviour policy that enables teachers to teach in classrooms that are mainly free from disruption. Students who prevent others from learning are given a single warning, then learn elsewhere in the school under the supervision of senior staff.
