Assistant Headteacher: Pedagogy & AI 

Hours: Full Time/Permanent (Please note that this is a full-time position only; we are unable to consider part-time arrangements)

Salary: Leadership Range 12 - 16

Start Date: September 2026

At Aylesbury High School (AHS), we aim to develop uniquely talented young adults who are independent, strong, and confident. As we navigate the Fourth Industrial Revolution, we recognise that Artificial Intelligence is a dual-edged sword. To #WalkTall in the modern world, our students must move beyond passive consumption to become autonomous, critical and creative thinkers.

Our core values—Boundless Aspiration, Resilient Bravery, Curious Engagement, and Selfless Generosity—underpin everything we do. We seek a visionary leader who can ensure our students leave AHS with the essential and human foundational literacies, competencies and learner character qualities that technology cannot replicate.

Aylesbury High School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff to share this commitment. Our Safeguarding Statement is attached. The appointment will be subject to references which are satisfactory for the advertised post, an enhanced DBS check with a Child Barred List check, identity checks, prohibition orders and qualification checks as appropriate.

CVs alone cannot be accepted for safeguarding reasons

If you are shortlisted for this post, you will also be required to complete a self-disclosure form as part of the recruitment process; this will not be used for shortlisting purposes.

AHS is an equal opportunities employer

We encourage early applications for all vacancies and reserve the right to close our vacancies at any time should the right candidates be found.
