Interim Headteacher, Special School

Brava Education is working with a small independent special school in the West Midlands to appoint an Interim Headteacher. The role starts as soon as possible and runs to February half term, with a handover to a permanent Headteacher starting in January.

compliance with the Independent School Standards and readiness for inspection
curriculum sequencing, teaching and learning, and quality assurance
SEND provision and behaviour
leadership, governance and the day-to-day running of the school
What the school is looking for
Experience of leading in an independent school, with a working knowledge of the Independent School Standards
