Job overview

Running a school is the greatest privilege in the world. 

It is an exciting opportunity for a talented senior leader or existing headteacher to develop new skills and leave a lasting legacy which will impact the UK education system and beyond. 

Reach Academy Feltham opened in September 2012 as a Free School and grew year-by-year. Our original Reception cohort completed their GCSEs last year and are now in our sixth form. 

We have a co-headteacher model because we recognise that running an all-through school is complex. We want you to have a partner to support and challenge you. You are responsible for the day-to-day running of the secondary phases of the school and they are responsible for the primary phases. There are other all-through responsibilities such as safeguarding and finances which you jointly share.

We believe in hiring exceptional people and giving them autonomy to run their school. We also know that collaboration is powerful and relationships drive our work. 

This role could suit someone new to headship or someone more experienced who is looking for a chance to really stretch themselves and explore what is possible in education.

Values and vision

Reach Academy Feltham believes it is impossible to teach to high standards unless the teacher knows the children, both personally and academically. By keeping the school small, it believes it can create a community where no pupil is left behind. The school’s vision is for every one of its students to achieve success and have the opportunity to attend a top university or thrive on their chosen career path.

Reach Academy Feltham is committed to running an annual residential trip to a university, enabling pupils to learn about life beyond school. It provides mentors for its students (including successful business leaders and professionals) and arranges internships for older students.

Ofsted report

“Pupils display excellent attitudes to learning. They behave impeccably, show high levels of respect and courtesy towards each other, to their teachers, other staff and visitors. The academy has a calm and purposeful atmosphere combined with a sense of excitement generated by pupils enjoying their learning. Excellent leadership by the Principal has ensured that high expectations and a pursuit of excellence are the norm. The Principal’s vision that the academy prepares pupils for a life of ‘choice and opportunity’ is shared by all who work within the academy.”
