Head of Year - Brooklands Campus

We are seeking a dynamic and enthusiastic teacher to join our team as a Head of Year.  

The role of the Head of Year is an integral pastoral role it includes supporting students with positive behaviours, safeguarding, improving attendance, and encouraging participation in school  events. 

This is an exciting and unique opportunity for the right person. You should have excellent communication skills, be able to work as a highly effective team member and have exceptional time management skills. 

Applications are welcome from ECTs as well as experienced teachers. We have a proven track record of support and development for all colleagues.

Walton High opened in 1999 with 120 Year 8 students.  Since then the school has grown significantly and now has over 2,000 students on roll, including 300+ Post 16.  The school has an excellent reputation and is consistently oversubscribed.  

In November 2016, Walton High expanded onto a second campus at Brooklands which is only two and half miles from the original Walnut Tree Campus.  Each campus now has over 1,500 students in Years 7-11 and a considerable Post-16.

In return, we will offer you:

•  A professional and supportive team

•   A personalised approach to continuing professional development

•   A role in a school that has a clear vision for improving outcomes for students

•   Use of Academy facilities (including a gym and onsite car parking).

•     Students with a positive attitude and a willingness to succeed
