Assistant Principal job summary
MK Primary PRU Assistant Principal
This is an exciting time to join a unique Trust with a focus on improving outcomes for children with behaviours that in a mainstream setting are challenging and an intervention within our settings is a solution to children returning to their schools. We are currently looking for someone with vision to fulfil this exciting and challenging role, as an Assistant Principal at MK Primary PRU.
Stephenson (MK) Trust, on behalf of MK Primary PRU, is seeking to appoint an inspiring, compassionate, and dedicated Assistant Principal who is eager to make an impact and works to build strong, supportive connections with staff, pupils, families and the wider community.
The Trust is deeply committed to inclusivity and enhancing the opportunities for our students. MK Primary PRU, as part of the Trust, values its reputation as a welcoming and supportive Academy, placing significant importance on both pastoral support and personalised academic learning. Prospective candidates should demonstrate unwavering commitment to student progress, displaying innovation and creativity in their approaches and consistently engage in reflection to enhance outcomes for our pupils.
On a personal level we are looking for an exceptional candidate with ambition for, and commitment to, the most vulnerable young people and to ensure that they are given the opportunities to develop their talents so that they can contribute positively to the world they live in when they leave our care.
All children deserve access to the very best leaders and teachers, and we are no different to others in our quest to appoint an exceptional candidate.
MK Primary PRU
MK Primary PRU is a successful Alternative Provision Academy which is co-located with Bridge Academy on the Manor Road site in Bletchley. MKPPPRU currently caters for CYP between 4-11 and received a Good Ofsted report in November 2017.
Bridge Academy is currently within a consultation process to amalgamate with Milton Keynes Primary PRU. MK Primary PRU is based at our Manor Road site and will, should this be successful, become an additional pathway within Bridge Academy and change the age range of CYP to 4-19 years.
Admissions to MKPPRU take place via the MK Inclusion Partnership group via a monthly meeting and an emergency placement panel meeting. These are co-ordinated by the SMKT CEO and they are supported by MK Headteachers and senior leaders. The work of this group significantly reduces permanent exclusions and supports CYP returning to mainstream promptly following a period of support and intervention. The work of MKPPRU has significantly changed the lives of many CYP avoiding a permanent exclusion and supporting a successful reintegration. The vast majority of CYP are dual rolled and as such the primary schools work with us to support their future outcomes and success.
We serve Milton Keynes, and the surrounding local authorities when places are available.
In return our Trust can offer you:
- An incredible opportunity to lead an exceptional site and work with experienced and successful executive leaders.
- The chance to be part of a growing and forwarding thinking Trust that will provide wider opportunities in the future.
- Extensive support to progress your potential at an exciting time in our development.
- An opportunity to work within an inclusive and values driven organisation and the chance to be part of a highly skilled, dedicated, and hardworking team.
We welcome visits to MK Primary PRU and look forward to receiving your application.
