Seahaven Academy is an enormously proud community, with big ambitions and high expectations for all our students (and staff). Our most recent inspection confirmed we are a ‘Good school’ in all areas however we are unapologetically ambitious for every child, no matter what their background, prior attainment or needs and we will not rest until we deliver the outstanding school the community and most importantly, the students we serve, deserve.

We provide all our young people with the challenge and support they need to achieve their goals and enable them to lead happy and purposeful lives. We strongly believe in ‘Education with Character’ and want our young people to look back on their time at Seahaven as an education which has inspired and rewarded them and prepared them for all aspects of adult life.

Seahaven Academy is growing and is under new leadership. We feel that this is the perfect time to expand the leadership team and we are delighted to be able to offer a position of Assistant Principal.

We are looking for an exceptional, highly self-motivated, and resourceful Assistant Principal. You must be an excellent classroom practitioner, with proven leadership skills and the ability to lead significant areas of school improvement. You must be able to think strategically and proactively, having a strong focus on problem solving. You must see a challenge as an opportunity, and ensure plans become impactful actions.

You must be inspired by working with students who need and deserve the absolute best from their school.
