Job overview
“The school succeeds in dispelling the myths and stereotypes that are sometimes associated with boys’ schools.”
[Challenge Partners Report]
Our School
Isleworth & Syon School is a great place to work and a place where teachers can develop. Our staff are energetic, dedicated and absolutely committed to working together in order to ensure that our boys (and students in our mixed Sixth Form) remain ambitious and highly successful.
We have a history of excellence, are a high-performing school and are part of the ‘Leading Edge’ network. Our progress measures at GCSE level are significantly above that for boys nationally and at all levels progress and attainment scores are well above national scores.
Appointment
We are looking to appoint an ambitious, experienced and dynamic leader to join our Senior Leadership Team. You will need to have expertise in the key fields of student culture, attendance, behaviour and safeguarding as well as a proven track record in raising the achievement of all students. One of our mantras is to ‘be the best that you can be’ – this equally applies to staff and students. We are seeking to appoint a leader who is passionate about making a real difference to the lives of the students and the community which we serve.
Our Ethos
Relationships are critical to our success and to our future. We empower our staff and encourage everyone to work collegially in departments. Good practice is shared and all staff contribute ideas to further enhance the curriculum. Our school is systematically organised and pastoral processes are tightly managed to allow staff to build professional relationships with students in order to create excellent learning environments.
Across the school, students benefit from our insistence on high standards and achievement, an exceptional range of extra-curricular activities, and a focus on traditional values. We are looking for a colleague that aspires to be part of a great team of staff and who will enjoy contributing to the successes of all our students.
Our Staff
We recognise that our staff are our greatest resource. Therefore, we are ambitious for our staff and invest heavily in their development. We offer an extensive programme of professional development with a range of opportunities for training, including internally and through local and national programmes. We have strong partnerships with universities and higher education institutions and actively support staff pursuing heavily subsidised Masters degrees and other higher qualifications. There will also be opportunities to collaborate within our local partnership of schools.

Our school is systematically organised and pastoral processes are tightly managed to allow staff to build professional relationships with students, thereby creating excellent learning environments. Across the school, students benefit from our insistence on high standards and achievement, an exceptional range of extra-curricular activities and the focus on traditional values.

Our aim is to provide an outstanding education for all of our students, through our focus on teaching and learning. We are a continually improving school with a reputation for blending innovation and tradition and providing an exceptional range of additional opportunities whilst we focus on the academic achievement of our students.

About Us
We are a voluntary controlled, non-denominational boys school, with a mixed Sixth Form. We have a long and distinguished history which can be traced back to 1630. We are situated in a tree-lined neighbourhood of Isleworth, a vibrant area of West London. Close to Osterley Park and a short hop from central London by tube (Osterley is a 10-minute walk) or rail (Isleworth is a 7-minute walk). There is easy access to the M3, M4 and Heathrow Airport. Our proximity to Osterley, Isleworth, Brentford and Chiswick result in a truly comprehensive and richly diverse intake of students, which creates a wonderfully vibrant working environment for our staff.
You are very welcome to arrange to visit us and to experience why we are such a successful school and a fantastic place to develop your career. I hope that you will read on and make an application to the school.
