Tiger Primary School is seeking an ambitious and strategic Assistant Headteacher for Inclusion to join our leadership team. This is not a typical inclusion role. We are investing in the creation of a bespoke Enhanced Transition Environment (ETE) — a fully resourced, in-house provision designed to transform outcomes for pupils who need a different pathway to succeed. The successful candidate will design, lead and implement this provision from the ground up — shaping the environment, systems, staffing model and practice. If you are driven by impact, innovation and the opportunity to leave a legacy, this role offers a genuinely unique platform.
Job Responsibility:
Establish and lead a brand-new Enhanced Transition Environment (ETE) within the school
Shape a provision grounded in evidence-informed practice (including EEF implementation guidance)
Design systems for identification, transition, intervention and reintegration
Build and develop a high-performing inclusion team
Drive measurable improvements in attendance, behaviour, engagement and outcomes
Ensure inclusion is not a bolt-on, but fully integrated into the core of school improvement
Provide strategic leadership of SEND and inclusion
Line manage the SENDCo and wider SEND team, ensuring clarity, accountability and impact
Lead the school’s Pupil Premium strategy, securing strong outcomes for disadvantaged pupils
Work closely with the attendance team to address barriers and improve engagement
Influence whole-school practice so that quality-first teaching meets the needs of all learners
Requirements:
Strong track record of improving outcomes for vulnerable pupils
Understands how to translate research into practice
Can design and implement systems with clarity, precision and measurable impact
Is confident in holding teams to account while developing capacity
Is motivated by building provision, not just maintaining it
Brings energy, clarity and conviction to inclusion leadership
Works in a supportive, driven Senior Leadership Team
What we offer:
A vibrant and exciting place to work
A friendly and supportive environment
An excellent CPD programme, with opportunities for action research and nationally accredited qualifications
The support of a Trust that currently encompasses two Secondary Schools and one Primary School
A well-resourced department with schemes of work and resources available
An opportunity to join various schemes such as the Benenden corporate healthcare scheme
