Job description

Running a school is the greatest privilege in the world.

It is an exciting opportunity for a talented senior leader or existing headteacher to develop new skills and leave a lasting legacy which will impact the UK education system and beyond.

Reach Academy Feltham opened in September 2012 as a Free School and grew year-by-year. Our original Reception cohort completed their GCSEs last year and are now in our sixth form.

We have a co-headteacher model because we recognise that running an all-through school is complex. We want you to have a partner to support and challenge you. You are responsible for the day-to-day running of the secondary phases of the school and they are responsible for the primary phases. There are other all-through responsibilities such as safeguarding and finances which you jointly share.

We believe in hiring exceptional people and giving them autonomy to run their school. We also know that collaboration is powerful and relationships drive our work.

This role could suit someone new to headship or someone more experienced who is looking for a chance to really stretch themselves and explore what is possible in education.

Role details

Reports to: CEO, Reach Schools

Start date: End of August 2025 ready for September 2025

Salary: Commensurate with experience Location: Feltham, London

We embrace flexible working and have extensive experience of school leaders working flexibly. That said, starting a new headship is complex and important work and it may be, therefore, that greater flexibility is something that comes in time with this role.

  • Inspirational and emotionally available leader
  • Excellent communicator
  • Highly organised and attentive to detail
  • Unwavering belief in the vision of Reach Schools
  • Ability to maintain composure in all situations
  • Constant desire to improve self and others
  • Qualified teacher

Please note: there is no expectation that you have completed NPQH or similar.
