Caludon Castle School

Permanent, Full time

A Pastoral Leader (Progress and Attendance) at Caludon Castle School plays a pivotal role in the way we wrap support around every young person. At Caludon, our ‘Family Around the Child’ model ensures that no student ever stands alone: each year group is supported by a bespoke team consisting of a senior leader, a non teaching Year Leader, a Pastoral Leader (Progress and Attendance), and a designated Student Support Mentor. Together, this team leads a cohort of around 240 students, organised into 8–9 tutor groups, and takes collective responsibility for the full breadth of pastoral priorities captured in our WRAP framework: Welfare, Respect, Attendance and Progress.

We are a relational school: strong on boundaries and big on heart. Our behaviour pathway is consistent, fair and rooted in our lived motto, ‘Respect to all, From all’, a culture that shapes how we speak, how we listen and how we lead. Within this environment, the Pastoral Leader becomes a key anchor for students, staff and families: someone who can analyse need, build trust, influence change and champion every child’s right to thrive.

This role is ideal for a teacher of Maths or English who is energised by working with a wide range of stakeholders, who values proactive teamwork, and who aspires to secure the very best outcomes for every student. It is a position for someone who sees pastoral leadership not as a reactive function, but as a strategic, relational and deeply impactful part of school life and who is ready to help shape the journey of a year group and ensure that every child feels known, supported and able to succeed.

The successful applicant will:

• Be an excellent classroom practitioner with a genuine passion for learning and teaching, and a commitment to securing high quality provision in English or Maths.

• Be an inspiring leader with the drive to achieve exceptional outcomes and deliver inclusive, aspirational learning experiences for all students.

• Have a strong track record of delivering successful GCSE outcomes across a range of abilities.

• Be able to support, motivate and develop colleagues to continually improve their practice.

• Demonstrate the ability to engage, enthuse and inspire both students and staff.

• Be reflective, resilient and determined to make a profound difference to the lives of young people.

We will play to your strengths and can offer:

• A range of benefits including cycle to work, free parking, an employee discount scheme, Westfield Healthcare Plan and a laptop/iPad.

• A strong commitment to staff wellbeing, including recognition initiatives and a cashback health plan.

• An annual Learning & Teaching Conference for all teaching staff.
