St Bede's has a vacancy for a full-time head of year starting in September 2025 in its successful sixth form. The person appointed to this role will teach their specialist subject alongside this leadership responsibility.

The sixth form at St Bede’s sits at approximately 300 students across year 12 and 13 and offers 27 different A level courses as well as 3 Cambridge Technical subjects. It also offers the Extended Project in year 12 as a 1 year qualification.

The majority of students progress to higher education at a range of institutions including Oxbridge and Russell Group universities. A smaller, but increasing, number gain apprenticeships in companies such as PwC, Sky and engineering and law organisations.

St Bede's students are ambitious and strive for excellence whilst also valuing a sense of belonging and community that exists in the sixth form. Students have positive relationships with both staff and peers and teachers themselves on knowing each student as an individual.

The school offers a range of exciting opportunities - academic, social and enrichment - in order to best prepare our students for the future and the annual RAG week (led by the senior student team) is a particular highlight for the whole school. Last year the sixth form raised just over £25,000 for charities in the local area, the UK and globally.

Each head of year leads a tutor team of 8 tutors. They will be fully involved in further developing the mentoring system, tutorial programme and the pastoral care of their year group, as well as contributing to the life and ethos of the sixth form as a whole. This is an ideal post for any aspiring head of sixth form and will allow you to gain access to the whole sixth form cycle from recruitment and marketing to higher education and apprenticeship application experience.

Please note, applications will be reviewed upon receipt and as such, this vacancy may close earlier than the deadline advertised. Early applications are encouraged.
