Specific Areas of Responsibility
· We would like our new Assistant Head Teacher to focus, in the first instance, on the development of our Early Years Foundation Stage. The Assistant Head does not need to be EYFS trained, however experience and an excellent working knowledge of EYFS and Key Stage 1 is essential. Depending on skills and experience the new candidate brings, the post holder will also lead on a core subject. It will also be expected for the post holder to run school councils and take whole school acts of worship as and when required. Other responsibilities may be undertaken as and when the Head teacher requires including attendance to school and PTA events and meetings outside of normal school hours.

· In the first term of the post, the Assistant Head Teacher will be moved to Acting Deputy Head Teacher to cover maternity leave. You will be supported in this short term role.
