Marden High School is an 11-16 school. It is well known for its high academic standards and very strong level of student support. The school is ideally situated in an area of North Tyneside within a short stroll from the beautiful Tynemouth Long Sands and picturesque Cullercoats Bay.
Governors are now seeking to appoint an inspirational Headteacher with the vision, skills, qualities and dynamism to lead our School in the next stage of its development.

Marden High School is one of the highest performing schools in the region. Its dedicated and progressive teams are well supported by a strong governing body and very supportive parents. It is also part of the North Tyneside Learning Trust, a community of maintained schools working together to achieve excellence.
Our ideal candidate will;
• Be a strategic and collaborative leader who will inspire and empower staff and build resilient and flexible teams
• Share our values and vision for excellence, and be able to put them into practice
