This is a document compiled from various Head of Year job descriptions, as well as my own knowledge of what is required of Heads of Year as they move through the year groups. I have also included an overview of the characteristics often associated with Heads of Year.
This is a document compiling other sources of information and so is not an ‘original’ from me - simply compiled to help others.
It is helpful if you are considering what a Head of Year role might include. However, it is important to remember all roles are different and each school will view the role differently.
