This is an exciting opportunity for an individual with experience of working with young people, families and external agencies to play a key role in supporting students to overcome barriers to learning and achieve their full potential.
The successful candidate will take a proactive approach to promoting positive behaviour, improving attendance and punctuality, and fostering a culture of high expectations.
