The Head of Year plays a central role in leading and shaping the academic progress, wellbeing, and personal development of students within a specific year group. As a key member of the pastoral leadership team, the Head of Year ensures that all students receive high-quality support, both academically and personally, so they can thrive and achieve their full potential. The role centres around monitoring and tracking student progress and wellbeing, supporting tutors, and co-ordinating the delivery of a strong pastoral curriculum aligned with the school’s values and strategic vision. Reporting directly to the Head of Key Stage, the Head of Year provides day-to-day operational leadership of the year group, acting as a visible and approachable figure for students, parents, and staff. This involves leading a team of tutors, delivering assemblies and key events, and supporting the enrichment of the wider curriculum. A crucial aspect of the role is the use of data and evidence to monitor standards, plan interventions, and support students' academic journeys, working closely with Heads of Subject and other key stakeholders to ensure no child is left behind. The Head of Year supports the delivery of the school’s ethos and pastoral care strategy, strengthens relationships between home and school, and contributes to school-wide initiatives aimed at maintaining high academic standards, excellent student satisfaction, and strong retention rates. As part of the extended leadership team, the post-holder is also expected to uphold high standards of professional practice, model excellence in teaching, and contribute to the overall strategic direction of the school.
