The successful candidate will be an outstanding, passionate and resilient Pastoral Lead who can drive the school’s strategic vision to create a learning experience where students feel happy, safe, and create lasting memories, surrounded by people who appreciate their uniqueness, support their success, and foster their personal growth.
