    Description

    The Swan School, Oxford Head of Year

    About the role

    This is a rare and exciting opportunity to be part of shaping an exceptional comprehensive school in the early stages of its journey. As a Head of Year, you will take responsibility for the pastoral leadership for one year group within the school (KS3 or 4). This will involve setting the ethos for the year group, using data to establish priorities, inspiring students, and ensuring that all students get the very best pastoral support that they need to excel in their education. You will lead a team of tutors and pastoral support staff to achieve this aim.

    The successful candidate will share our ambitions for our students and be passionate about the role that schools can play in breaking down barriers to help students to achieve more than they ever believed possible. You will be a highly motivated team player with experience of leading in a school context. You will be able to demonstrate how you have made an impact on students in your current context and have a creative vision about how you would apply your previous experience to this new role.

    About our school

    The Swan School, part of the River Learning Trust, is Oxford's first new secondary school for over 50 years, and opened in September 2019.When full, we will have approximately 1,200 students on roll, of whom around 300 will be in the Sixth Form. Our students will be drawn from a local catchment area and the school will be at the heart of the community.

    Learning from the most successful approaches at the best schools, The Swan School provides a uniquely challenging and structured experience in a caring and disciplined environment. The ethos is academic; we regard an excellent academic education as the entitlement of all young people, no matter what their background or previous experiences of learning. Students are inspired and nurtured, acquiring the knowledge and skills to think critically and creatively. They will learn to be confident, resilient and ambitious, and will have high expectations in terms of their own achievements and their contribution to wider society.

    The Swan is a highly successful school as recognised by our first OFSTED Report from September 2023 which graded the school as Outstanding for Behaviour and Attitudes, Personal Development, Leadership and Management, and Sixth Form, and Good for Quality of Education.
