A secondary school department head already meets 61% of what the nursery school head teacher role asks for. The move turns on 10 required skills not yet in the profile.
61%
46.1/ 100
1 Share of the nursery school head teacher role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the secondary school department head profile. Required skills count in full, supplementary skills at 0.35. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. 2 Combines what is missing with how specialised it is, so a gap of general skills scores easier than the same number of narrow ones.
Why this move works
A nursery school head teacher role treats 14 of its required skills as things a secondary school department head already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- assess the development of youth
- assist in the organisation of school events
- cooperate with education professionals
- curriculum objectives
- curriculum standards
- develop organisational policies
What stands in the way is 10 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 32 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A nursery school head teacher role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a secondary school department head background worth leading with.
- already held provide feedback to teachers communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held learning technologies education
- already held promote education programmes communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held advise on teaching methods communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held assess employees' capability levels management skills
- already held maintain contract administration information skills
All 32 carried skills, including the 14 the nursery school head teacher role treats as required.

Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a nursery school head teacher role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.

- 02 analyse staff capacity skill · cross sector
- 03 apply for government funding skill · cross sector
Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

How this record was compiled
Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
