Firstly thank you for your interest in becoming part of Armfield Academy staff team. This is a very exciting and unique opportunity in helping establish our brand new school; developing policy and procedures and putting these into operation so that we become ‘an Academy to be proud of’.

We opened in September 2018 on Lytham Road, Blackpool with children joining the school in Reception and Year 7 only. This will then be repeated in the following years which enables the school to grow. Our nursery provision opened in January 2019. The building programme has now been completed and staffing numbers will increase year on year until the school is at full capacity.

The Academy, named after Jimmy Armfield, has the strapline “an Academy to be proud of”. It therefore relates very much to traditional British values and supports the core values of our Trust; pride, ambition, respect, resilience, integrity and excellence.

Armfield Academy is part of the Fylde Coast Academy Trust (FCAT) and is our second “all-through” school. FCAT is a Multi Academy Trust with 9 primary and secondary schools across the Fylde Coast and Lancashire with a proven track record of delivering rapid improvement in progress and outcomes. Armfield is now our 10th school. Our aim is to ensure first class learning opportunities for all young people. Learners are at the heart of what we do and their outcomes and successes are what drive us to be the “best we can be”!

An excellent opportunity has arisen for a colleague to join the senior leadership team at Armfield Academy by becoming Assistant Headteacher: Progress, Data and Assessment. This post provides an opportunity for one colleague to provide strategic direction and leadership for all matters relating to academic progress and attainment across the whole Academy supported by a team of experienced middle and senior leaders. The post holder will report directly to the Deputy Headteacher: Curriculum. The successful candidate will play a major role under the overall direction of the Headteacher.

The successful candidate will have a proven ability in strategic thinking and outstanding academic leadership, ensuring the Academy continues to provide high quality education for all our children in a caring, inclusive environment. The successful candidate will have experience at senior leadership level.

This new post will enhance the senior leadership team of the academy and will take a lead role in all aspects of school improvement related to curriculum. The post will include a teaching commitment commensurate to the role. Within your application you should state clearly why you are the ideal candidate for this role stating examples of where you have had significant impact on academic standards. The Job Description, Person Specification and a letter from the Headteacher and Executive Headteacher are attached with this advertisement.
