About This Role
We are seeking exceptional an Assistant Principal to join our Knights Leadership Team at Haberdashers’ Knights Academy.
This is an opportunity for ambitious, high-impact leaders who are ready to shape whole-school improvement and play a central role in driving standards, culture and outcomes. Rather than recruiting to a narrowly defined brief, we are looking for outstanding individuals whose strengths, expertise and leadership capacity will enhance and strengthen our senior team.
As an Assistant Principal, you will contribute strategically and operationally to the leadership of the academy. You will lead with clarity, high expectations and integrity, ensuring consistency in systems, strong staff development and excellent outcomes for students. Your specific portfolio will be aligned to your experience and the evolving needs of the school, which may include achievement, teaching and learning, behaviour and culture, inclusion, attendance, curriculum, personal development or Sixth Form.
We are looking for leaders who have a proven track record of impact, who combine strategic thinking with visible, hands-on leadership, and who are relentless in their pursuit of excellence. You will be values-driven, resilient and committed to building a culture where staff feel supported and students thrive.
This role offers genuine scope and influence. We are looking for the right leader for our school, someone ready to make a significant contribution at senior level and help shape the next phase of our development.
