Assistant Head Sixth Form

Following the School’s recent announcement that Tonbridge will introduce a co-educational Sixth Form, welcoming its first cohort of girls as day pupils in September 2028, we are seeking an exceptional leader to join us as Assistant Head Sixth Form.

The Assistant Head Sixth Form will play a central role in shaping this transition, ensuring that every pupil benefits from an outstanding educational experience and that the Sixth Form continues to flourish as a place of academic excellence, personal growth and ambitious futures.

As a member of the Extended Senior Team, the successful candidate will contribute to the strategic leadership and management of the whole school while taking responsibility for key aspects of Sixth Form provision, including pupil induction, pastoral care, wellbeing, safeguarding, pupil leadership, and the co-ordination of programmes and initiatives that enrich the Sixth Form experience. The role plays a particularly crucial role in overseeing the pastoral wellbeing of girls in the Sixth Form, ensuring that there is suitable provision for them in the academic, pastoral and co-curricular life of the School.

A highly attractive package is offered, including salary on the School’s own scale and a competitive allowance.
