We’re looking for a brilliant Teaching Head of Year to join our team!

Are you passionate about pastoral care and making a real difference in young people’s lives? Do you thrive in a fast-paced, diverse school community where no two days are the same? If that sounds like you, read on!

We’re on the lookout for a committed and energetic Teaching Head of Year to help lead one of our fantastic year groups through the next stage of their journey. This is a key role combining high-quality classroom teaching with dynamic, proactive pastoral leadership.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Leading the pastoral care, behaviour and attendance for your year group – with compassion, consistency and high expectations.
  • Building strong relationships with students, staff, and families – we’re all in this together!
  • Working closely with tutors and senior leaders to ensure every student gets the support they need to thrive – academically and personally.
  • Championing your year group – celebrating the wins, tackling the challenges, and always keeping standards high.
  • Teaching your subject to a high standard – you’ll be an excellent practitioner who leads by example.

What we’re looking for:

  • A passionate teacher with QTS and a track record of great classroom practice.
  • Someone who understands the importance of inclusion, equity, and high expectations in an inner-city context.
  • A team player with the drive and resilience to make things happen.
  • Someone who’s ready to lead from the front – modelling routines, building culture, and making school a place students feel proud of.
Why join us?
  • We’re a vibrant, diverse and ambitious school community in the heart of London.
  • You’ll work alongside a supportive and passionate team who genuinely care about our students.
  • There are opportunities to grow your leadership – whether this is your first step or your next step.
  • Our students are funny, challenging, full of potential – and totally worth it.
  • Sound like your kind of challenge? We’d love to hear from you!
