This is a fantastic opportunity to join a newly established SEN school located in the Croydon area. The school offers a distinctive educational environment grounded in a therapeutic, humanistic approach to learning and child development. Its mission is to support vulnerable children in maintaining their place within an educational setting or transitioning from home education, with the ultimate goal of reintegrating them into mainstream or specialist provision as efficiently as possible.
The school is founded on the vision and expertise of dedicated professionals with extensive experience in both educational and clinical settings. By addressing the underlying causes of behavioural, emotional, and social challenges, the school helps accelerate the well-being and academic progress of its pupils—recognising that without this holistic approach, many students may struggle to engage with their education.
The Head of School will play a key role in safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all students, while adhering to school policies and maintaining the highest standards of professional conduct.
The ideal candidate will possess:
* A strong background in working across a range of educational settings, including mainstream schools, Alternative Provision (AP), and special schools, showcasing flexibility and depth of experience.
* Demonstrated leadership experience as part of a Senior Management Team (SMT) in at least one school, with a proven ability to contribute to achieving an Ofsted rating of Good or Outstanding within the last five years.
* The confidence, capability, and professional insight to thrive in a demanding yet fulfilling environment, serving as a strong advocate for vulnerable children and young people.
* Hands-on experience supporting pupils with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), including Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs, mild learning difficulties, and trauma or attachment-related challenges.
This Head of School role calls for a dedicated leader driven by a commitment to transforming lives and ensuring that every learner has the opportunity to reach their full potential.
