Assistant Principal (Inclusion) job summary

We are seeking a dynamic and inspirational Assistant Headteacher to join our leadership team. This role comes with unparalled opportunities for development, progression, and influence as the academy evolves!

At Co-op Academy Manchester, what we do matters, but the way that we do it matters even more. We ask students and colleagues to be GREAT in everything we do. 

The things that make us GREAT permeate through our daily habits to ensure educational excellence for our students through cooperation and elevated aspirations, creating responsible citizens who value and support their community.

The Academy is inclusive and serves a vibrant, GREAT community. We have a well-staffed and resourced SEND provision, an Internal Alternative provision that is the benchmark for success and a newly developed key stage 2 into 3 transition provision.

We are seeking an enthusiastic leader with experience of leading SEND and Inclusion, who will build upon the significant improvements within this area and drive further improvements in the ordinarily available provision across the academy.

Why us?

The academy, based in Higher Blackley in North Manchester, has over 1,600 students on roll and is part of Co-op Academies Trust.

Co-op Academy Manchester was recently judged ‘Good’ by Ofsted in March 2023. Ofsted said that:

“Leaders, trustees and governors strive for all pupils at Co-op Academy Manchester to be successful. Pupils are encouraged to demonstrate the ‘ways of being Co-op’ in all that they do.”

“Teachers have strong subject knowledge. They use their expertise to help pupils to learn well in lessons. Teachers who are not specialists in a subject receive appropriate and effective subject-specific training. This enables these teachers to deliver the curriculum equally well.”

“Leaders have thought carefully about the curriculum that they want all pupils to learn, including those with SEND. The curriculum is well organised. Subject leaders have thought deeply about the key knowledge that pupils should learn and the order in which this content should be taught.”

All our values are based upon the values of the Co-op Group, which will inform our behaviours.

Self-help: We do not expect to be spoon fed – we will try to do things for ourselves in the right way and at the right time.

Self-responsibility: Everyone should act in a responsible way around the academy site and in the local community. We take responsibility for our own learning; we want to become independent learners.

Equality: We are proud to be part of a very multicultural academy, with students from all over the world; it is important that we treat each other with respect and accept that others may be different from ourselves. We should all of us have equal chances to succeed.

Equity: We want to look for the best in each other. Rewarding others fairly to encourage all types of achievement.

Democracy: We will contribute our ideas to make the academy a success.

Solidarity: We can achieve more by working together, rather than as individuals.

Our Values

Being part of the Co-operative Group, we are both guided and driven by the Co-op values which are embedded in everything that we do within our Academy - We strive to demonstrate the following ethical values in everything we do - they are our ‘Ways of Being’:

Succeed together

Be yourself, always

Show you care
