It is a really exciting time in the academy’s development as we look to expand our provision, enhance the curriculum offer and build a reputation as the alternative provider of choice in the county. We have made some really exciting appointments in the last few months at a time where recruitment presents it challenges and we are now developing our leadership team to build capacity and develop the current and future educational offer we give to our pupils. We are looking to find an outstanding practitioner to join our expanding and newly formed SLT which consists of Headteacher, School Business Manager, Deputy Headteacher and Assistant Headteacher.
You must be able to demonstrate the capacity to offer exceptional leadership and managerial skills. The ideal candidate will have significant experience and knowledge of working with children and young people with a range of complex needs, particularly at KS3 and 4. The role involves daily leadership of the High Peak site which currently accommodates pupils in KS3 and 4. There will also be a small teaching commitment. The successful candidate will join a team of 2 full time Teachers, 2 part time teachers, 3 STLAs and a site admin. Pupils are allocated places either, after PEX, or a dual registered place as they are at risk of PEX from mainstream. The High Peak site is a small site and educates approximately 35 pupils. Some pupils may be on roll for a short period to develop their behaviour and positive strategies to enable them to successfully reintegrate back into a mainstream school on a full- time basis.
This role is also to allow for whole academy leadership development across all sites with regards the ofsted criteria for “behaviour and attitudes”. You will have proven success in leading a team and of managing pupils with challenging behaviour and bringing about positive change. You will have secure knowledge of the requirements set out by Ofsted in order to develop the quality of our Behaviour & Attitudes judgements over the whole academy. The candidate will have experience of engaging pupils who have a broad range of needs including challenging behaviour and communication difficulties in either mainstream, Special or AP provisions. You will have experience of building excellent relationships with pupil, staff, parents, governors, other schools and officers in a multi-academy trust and the local community. We are working towards a completely bespoke timetable offer for our pupils of on- site groups, 1:1 sessions, off site AP, home learning, online learning and work experience. Therefore, the candidate will need to be able to have the organisational skills to plan for this and ensure that all pupils are provided with the most appropriate package to meet their needs.
The Assistant Headteacher role will require the successful candidate to be child centred, solution focused and approach leadership through policies, systems and processes. You will be supported in your role through close support from the Headteacher, senior team and also from the wider school improvement team from the Esteem MAT.
Benefits include: Teachers’ Pension Scheme, Westfield Health membership and free parking.
