About The Role We are looking for an Assistant Principal, Head of Juniors who is excited by the opportunity to show what is possible; who has a deep belief in the potential of every child and every member of staff to be safe, happy and successful in our school community. If you share that same sense of mission and are excited by the opportunity to contribute to the next chapter of KSA's story, we would be delighted to receive your application. Our ideal candidate will have: Experience of leading, coaching and/or managing staff Experience of leading a high achieving team within a complex school environment Experience of raising attainment in a challenging classroom environment Evidence of continually improving the behaviour and culture of groups of pupils To apply, please visit our website via the button below. The deadline to apply is on 23rd February 2026. Please note we will be reviewing applications on an on-going basis, and this advert may close earlier than advertised depending on the level of response. Early application is advised. To discuss the role, please feel free to email the Principal's PA, Abigail Saleh. ( ) or phone on . Benefits We believe in aiming high, working together, being kind and leading the way. Through weekly individual coaching, year group intellectual preparation time and whole school PD, we invest in your growth and development as a teacher to ensure you can excel in creating the best possible climate for learning for our pupils to thrive in. Through our approach to professional development we can promise a successful candidate a positive and rewarding journey of growth.

This all starts in our primary school, where our pupils develop, and grow a love of learning. We have a strong track-record as a school in making a significant impact on our pupils' lives.
