Assistant Headteacher - Inclusion job summary

We are seeking to appoint an energetic, innovative leader to join our friendly and forward-thinking team. As the lead for inclusion, this role will provide the successful candidate with the opportunity to make a real impact across the school and particularly for children with SEND.

Do you have the skills necessary to rise to a challenge? Are you someone who has high expectations and a desire to ensure the educational experiences of our pupils are great? Can you lead and motivate others? Are you a positive person who enjoys implementing new initiatives and ideas?  

If the answers to these questions is yes – then King Offa is the school for you!

 We are looking for someone:

• with the energy and passion to motivate, challenge and support children to be their very best
• who thrives as part of a team and is committed to continuing school improvement
• that has high expectations of themselves and others
• who understands the importance of the job teachers do and who has a sense of humour and knows when to use it
• who enjoys learning and wants to develop their skills and expertise further

 

Start date 1^st September 2024, but we can be flexible for the right candidate. 

At King Offa, we are committed to supporting all our staff on their individual professional journeys by providing developmental opportunities, sharing ideas and experiences with other schools within our Academy Trust and offering high levels of support and training.

King Offa school has been at the heart of its community for over a hundred years and is a well recognised landmark in Bexhill. The building provides spacious classrooms and an inviting environment for pupils and staff to work together and learn within. Outside we have extensive playground space; an outdoor covered classroom area; a large field and a swimming pool which is used in the summer term to provide opportunities for every child in the school to learn to swim.

Children at King Offa are provided with high-quality learning. Outstanding provision means that pupils are engaged and demonstrate high levels of motivation, resilience, empathy, enquiry and are happy to take risks.

Our recently redesigned curriculum ensures that our teaching actively engages pupils to deepen and embed key concepts and skills as well as the transfer of knowledge across the curriculum. We work in partnership with Hackney Learning Trust to deliver Daily Supported Reader and Destination Reader and have invested in Reading Recovery and BRP (Boosting readers @ primary) as an integral part of our approach to reading. In addition, we teach phonics from nursery using the Ruth Miskin Read Write Inc programme.

We have adopted a mastery approach to the teaching of mathematics where we follow White Rose Maths schemes of learning to ensure a coherent, consistent approach to maths is adopted in all year groups. Importantly we focus on allowing opportunities for our pupils to explore concrete, pictorial and abstract approaches to maths.

Sussex Music School works closely with our school to build a culture of music from within and provide high quality curriculum music. Our children have the opportunity to learn to play recorder, ukulele and drums within lessons, and private instrumental lessons are also available. Our expert teachers support community events such as Summer sing and Big Sing all held at our local De La Warr pavilion.

We are working with REAL PE to deliver an inclusive PE curriculum which creates habits and develops essential behaviours, physical literacy, emotional and thinking skills in every child.

King Offa Primary Academy & Nursery is part of Aurora Academies Trust. Our seven schools spanning nursery, primary and secondary provision are all judged to be good or better by Ofsted.

We would recommend a visit to the school where you will receive a very warm welcome. To arrange a visit, please email kingoffaoffice@auroraacademies.org.
