Thank you for requesting details for the post of Assistant Pastoral Lead, which is required as soon as possible, due to the increasing intake of students at The Skipton Academy. With every aspect of the school’s provision most recently judged as “good”, we are looking to further strengthen our provision and enhance students’ experiences. This is an exciting opportunity for someone to join a popular and ambitious school where standards and levels of student engagement are high.

The successful candidate will have high expectations and an unwavering commitment to all students maximising their potential through outstanding support, encouragement, collaboration and mentoring. Non-teaching Assistant Pastoral Lead posts form part of an inclusive, pastoral structure and the postholder will work with two year groups.

The successful applicant will be firm but fair and have high expectations and an unwavering commitment to all staff, students and stakeholders. We are very proud of our excellent reputation in the local community, as well as the wider Craven areas and pride ourselves on the quality of education we provide to our students.

As a comprehensive academy, our overriding aim at TSA is to ensure that our students achieve everything that they are capable of, from Year 7 through to Year 11 and beyond. We recognise every student as an individual, with different needs and talents, and we work hard together to make sure we support and nurture successful, happy, and confident learners who achieve in the widest sense of the word, and not just academically.

If you are inspired by this opportunity and have the qualities to contribute to our high-quality provision, then we would be delighted to hear from you.
