Assistant Headteacher

About the role

All Saints Catholic Academy Trust (ASCAT), and the Governing Body of St. Albert the Great Catholic Primary School, Hemel Hempstead, seek to appoint a dynamic, enthusiastic Assistant Headteacher to this happy and nurturing school . The successful candidate will work alongside an Executive Headteacher, and Executive Deputy Headteacher, leading the school to continued success.

The Assistant Headteacher will provide strategic leadership and operational management, and will have specific responsibility for teaching and learning, curriculum development, and operational school leadership.

The post will be class based with a teaching commitment of up to two and a half days per week, with the balance of the week dedicated to leadership responsibilities.

As well as looking for a skilled, ambitious and creative leader who can deliver and model exceptional teaching and learning, and whilst we welcome applicants of all faiths and none, we do require candidates to demonstrate a commitment to upholding and embedding the distinctive and vibrant Catholic ethos of our schools.

St Albert the Great Catholic Primary School is situated in Dacorum Borough of South-West Hertfordshire, in a modern, accessible building with extensive outdoor facilities, including a MUGA and woodland area which provides Forest School learning. The school is led by an Executive Senior Team, who also have responsibility for St. Thomas More Catholic Primary School in Berkhamsted, and both schools work closely together under their leadership.

Following conversion to academy status in the summer term of 2023, St Albert the Great is now part of the St. Mark’s hub of All Saints Catholic Academy Trust, joining an established family of Catholic schools who provide mutual support and healthy challenge, working collaboratively to continually provide an “Outstanding Catholic Education for All”
