Assistant Headteacher

Assistant Headteacher – Achievement and Standards

Falinge Park High School, Rochdale

L13 – L17 (£63,430 – £69,970)

Start date – September 2024

Falinge Park High School is a large, over-subscribed, multicultural, inclusive comprehensive in Rochdale. There is a warm, welcoming atmosphere in the school and a positive ethos amongst the staff. We have created a culture which supports each other at every level rather than a tick-box approach to success and we have extended this through our community wing to supporting families and communities through the difficulties we all face.

Our core purpose is to secure the best academic and personal outcomes for all pupils and instil a life-long love of learning. This will ensure that all learners believe in themselves and their future, have choices and the power to make them and are able to contribute positively to society.

Empowering all to: ASPIRE, THRIVE, AND ACHIEVE

We are looking for an Assistant Headteacher to lead Achievement and Standards across the school as we continue on our rapid improvement journey.

The Governors of Falinge Park High School have determined that the school should join the Watergrove Trust, a Rochdale-based multi-academy trust which aligns very positively with the Falinge Park values and mission.  We hope to join the Watergrove community of two secondary and five primary schools in July 2024.

Watergrove is a part centralised trust which shares core processes but also honours the individual character of all its schools, so whilst benefiting from the collaborative opportunities of being in a trust, you will also be firmly part of the Falinge Park family

Completed applications should be returned by email to recruitment@falingepark.com by noon on Friday 15^th March 2024.  Interviews will take place on Friday 22^nd March 2024.

The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Successful candidates will undergo an enhanced DBS check, checks of references and employment history.
