Role Purpose

Own Cambridge International curriculum delivery for Grades 610 end to end: curriculum planning, pacing and quality; the professional growth of teaching staff; and the pastoral wellbeing of every student in the phase. This role does not hold exam-administration or regulatory authority entries, invigilation, access arrangements and malpractice sit with the Exams Officer, a separate peer role, so the person who leads and evaluates the teaching team is never also the person certifying exam-integrity for that same team's students.

What Great Looks Like in Year One

• 100% syllabus coverage tracked to plan each term across Grades 610, with vertical alignment visibly closing gaps from Grade 6 through the IGCSE board year.
• Observation and CPD targets met for every teacher in the phase, and measurable, year-on-year improvement in benchmark performance (ASSET/NGRT/NGMT)
• Heads of Department running confident, well-mentored subject teams; parents experiencing clear, timely communication on academics and pastoral matters.

• Assessment calendar & question-paper quality: set the academic calendar with the Exams Officer; own paper quality against blueprint, cognitive balance and command-word conventions (HOD sign-off before handoff for administration).
• Teaching quality assurance: classroom observations, learning walks, lesson-plan review, CPD design, and HOD mentoring.
• Pastoral care: first point of escalation for welfare/behavioural matters; oversee IEP implementation with Counsellor/SEN Coordinator; safeguard and anti-bullying policy in the phase.
• Staff leadership: functional supervision of HODs and Class Teachers; contribute to appraisal, recruitment and onboarding.
• Parent & community engagement: key contact for Grades 6–10 academic/pastoral matters; lead PTMs, orientations and student-led conferences.

Person Specification

Essential: Postgraduate degree in Education or relevant discipline plus a recognised teaching qualification (B.Ed. or equivalent); 5–7 years teaching including 3+ years in academic leadership/coordination; experience teaching within Cambridge International curriculum; strong instructional-leadership, observation and data-analysis skills; clear grounding in child safeguarding and pastoral practice.
