The Assistant Head Academic (AHA), reporting to the Deputy Head Academic, is a member of the Senior School Management Team (SSMT) and a leading member of the Academic Management Team.
Alongside more generic duties connected to being a member of the SSMT, responsibilities of the AHA include managing or leading on data analysis, timetabling, assessments, reporting and cover, as well as line managing different teams. The successful candidate will be well supported in their post, and will be offered quality continuing professional development as they grow in their role and their leadership.
Please note that, while this is a significant whole school responsibility, the successful candidate will also have up to a 0.7 teaching timetable. With departing staff teaching in the Sciences, Humanities, Mathematics and Sociology (teaching posts to be advertised separately), an ability to teach one of these would be an advantage – but for the right candidate there is flexibility to teach other specialisms.
