We are looking to appoint an inspiring and highly capable Vice Principal from the start of the Summer Term 2016. As we prepare to move into our new £20million full rebuild, our school continues to have a very high profile both locally and nationally. The successful candidate will be someone who already has proven ability as a senior leader, and who has the skills and abilities to enable them to secure incremental improvements in an already high-performing and extremely aspirational environment. You will absolutely be ambitious for Headship in the future and will join a school with highly committed and ambitious staff, supportive parents, and students who are keen to learn and who aspire to achieve the highest outcomes.
You will be an outstanding classroom practitioner who consistently demonstrates the highest standards of delivery; someone who is committed to a cycle of continuous improvement across all key stages and who has a robust understanding of the strategies required to achieve this. The successful candidate must be able to lead and inspire staff and students alike.
The successful candidate will:
have a passion for learning and teaching in a comprehensive school
be an innovative and strategic thinker with vision and ideas
be an outstanding practitioner
lead by example and act as a strong role model
have a positive, can do attitude with staff and students
be able to demonstrate exceptional leadership and management skills
have a proven track record of achieving outstanding student achievement both through own practice and by leading other staff
be an effective team player and value every aspect of the life of the school
have outstanding interpersonal skills with the ability to inspire students and staff
be an active learner, who constantly strives to improve, with the desire to progress
In return, Goffs can provide:
state of the art facilities as we move into our full new build
a highly collegiate but mutually challenging senior team
outstanding career development and preparation for Headship
a forward looking and innovative working environment in a highly oversubscribed school
a dedicated, highly professional and supportive Governing Body
the opportunity to work with highly professional, committed and ambitious colleagues across the community
a school described by Ofsted as being one where “learning in lessons is good and frequently outstanding. Students work together exceptionally well,” and where “students are overwhelmingly enthusiastic about school.”
