Waterside Academy, rated strong in all areas by Ofsted, and a proud member of the CST Outstanding Trust, is seeking an exceptional Curriculum Assistant Headteacher to join its high‑performing leadership team. This is a high‑leverage leadership role for an ambitious leader with an outstanding understanding of curriculum, who is passionate about precise implementation and high expectations. The successful candidate will work alongside a values‑driven team, fully aligned with CST ways of working, helping to shape curriculum excellence within a strong and successful school. We are looking for a senior or aspiring senior leader who genuinely enjoys curriculum work, understands the importance of detail and follow‑through, and wants to make a meaningful difference to pupils’ life chances. CST offers accelerated coaching and leadership development for those who demonstrate impact. We serve a wonderfully diverse community, many of whom face challenges through no fault of their own. It is for this reason we want to level the playing field for all of our students, regardless of their background, by providing a world class education. We care about outcomes. We know good grades lift life chances and impact health, wealth and even mortality. We know that teachers have the greatest impact on pupil outcomes and so we take professional development seriously, whatever our role in the school. Whether we have taught for two months, two years or twenty years, we believe in our capacity to always improve in the classroom. Our professional development provision is fundamental to our commitment to improve. We invest in our own and each others’ development and use principles of instructional coaching to provide feedback to each other. Our training involves deliberate practice, video models of excellent practice and lots of fun! The desire to improve a little bit everyday permeates the culture in our school. Our approach to teaching is evidence informed. We avoid ‘discovery learning’ m
