WE ARE LOOKING TO RECRUIT:

An aspiring or existing Senior Leader to join a highly performing, well established Senior Leadership Team that will springboard the right person towards Deputy Headship in the future.
With a start date of January 2025, we are seeking to appoint a highly driven and self-motivated leader who can support the Deputy Headteacher in leading and developing positive behaviour and attitudes.

Rated Good by Ofsted in 2023, and Outstanding for Leadership and Management, Thornhill Community Academy is ‘A School, A Family, A Community’. Our mission is to improve the life chances of every single student through a clear focus on our ABC - attendance, behaviour and our curriculum. Quite simply, our expectations are for everyone at the Academy to be nice and work hard in all we do.
TCA is a proud member of the well-regarded and high-performing SHARE Multi-Academy Trust and the Calderdale and Kirklees Teaching School Hub.

• A commitment that staff are happy, engaged and well supported at work, taking pride in students’ attendance, behaviour, progress and development as well as their own
• Excellent training and guidance relevant to individual job roles, so expectations are understood and staff are motivated
• Great benefits, as an employer of choice, including outstanding CPD, supportive line management, and meaningful networking opportunities across the trust to aid personal development
• Supportive leadership, encouraging a healthy work-life balance
• A high-quality teaching and learning environment, alongside good facilities
• A culture where children are happy, settled and confident, accessing a broad and balanced curriculum which provides a memorable educational experience for students and staff.
