Reach Academy Hanworth Park opened in September 2024 as a Free School and will grow year-by-year. In September 2026 the school will have Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 in the Primary phases and Year 7, 8 and 9 in the Secondary phases. The primary children will go all-through and join the secondary phase of the school once they reach Year 7.
We have a co-headteacher model because we recognise that running an all-through school is complex. We want you to have a partner to support and challenge you. You are responsible for the day-to-day running of the primary phases of the school and your co-headteacher is responsible for the secondary phases. There are other all-through responsibilities such as safeguarding and finances which you jointly share.
We believe in hiring exceptional people and giving them autonomy to run their school. We also know that collaboration is powerful and relationships drive our work.
This role could suit someone new to headship or someone more experienced who is looking for a chance to really stretch themselves and explore what is possible in education. We are seeking someone who will see this as a long-term project.
