We are looking to recruit a talented, committed and inspiring teacher and leader to the role of Assistant Principal - Sixth Form. Isaac Newton Academy Sixth Form opened to its first cohort of pupils in 2017. Our vision is for the Sixth Form to serve as the pinnacle of education for students in Key Stage 4. The Sixth Form has built a solid foundation since it opened but we are looking for someone to raise standards further to ensure our post-16 provision is truly exceptional. We are committed to ensuring every child is challenged to achieve their maximum potential and have already celebrated wonderful successes in seeing our pupils progress to study at the most competitive universities, and onto the most competitive degree level apprenticeships. If you are a middle leader looking to make your mark this is the perfect opportunity for you.

As part of the Senior Leadership Team you will work together with your colleagues to ensure that the Sixth Form is a fully embedded part of our dynamic all through school, and that our post-16 students serve as the best role models and inspiration for our younger pupils.

We are highly ambitious for our students and our staff are pivotal to our success. As part of the team, you will have the opportunity to work with great colleagues and develop your career through an outstanding professional development programme. You will be encouraged to be a reflective and open practitioner and be supported by the expertise of the Principal and Vice Principal to develop your leadership.
