Dear Applicant,
Thank you for your interest in the role of Deputy Head Teacher at Cedars Manor School.
We are looking for a dynamic leader who will work alongside a team of committed staff to enrich our current curriculum even further. As leader for teaching, learning and assessment, our new Deputy will take the lead on all aspects of classroom practice ensuring that our pupils receive the best provision possible.
School Context
Cedars Manor School is located in the heart of Harrow Weald; an area with high levels of deprivation. The school caters for pupils aged 3-11. Currently, the school is 3 form entry although it is moving to 2 forms of entry in response to the falling number of children locally. Currently, there are 3 forms in KS2 and 2 forms in KS1 and Early Years.
Cedars Manor School is an inclusive school. The school has a resource base for pupils with hearing impairment (deaf children who are living in a hearing world). In total, we have 14 pupils with EHCPs and 61 who are receiving SEND support. Last academic year we successfully secured placements for 4 pupils at settings that were able to provide more specialist support.
The proportion of pupils eligible for Pupil Premium is higher than both local and national averages. Some of our families are living in multiple occupancy homes which creates some tensions and pressures. The school has a higher than average proportion of pupils who have English as an additional language.
The proportion of pupils who are known to social care is high. The school works hard to support these pupils, many of whom have emotional barriers to learning. In response, the school offers a range of resources to support emotional wellbeing and resilience for all our pupils, but especially for those that are most vulnerable. This includes counselling, positive outcomes project, a proactive safeguarding team and learning mentors. The welcoming and warm ethos in the school creates an environment where pupils say they feel safe and they are clear about who to approach if they feel unsafe or unsure about anything.
Cedars Manor is fortunate to have been part of the Harrow schools rebuilding project. There is now an airy and modern building that the school has been using for just 2 years now. Phase 2 of the building project (landscaping) is still underway although much of the space is now available to the pupils and staff.
The school is popular with parents and we have a waiting list for Reception. Visitors remark on the warm and friendly atmosphere.
The school is outward looking and has secured purposeful working relationships with other settings. These include the local Children’s Centre, a local Outstanding school, cluster schools, John Lyons (school and charitable funding) and our local secondary school. In order to further promote this approach, the school has joined Challenge Partners as this is something that is able to offer a wide range of support both locally and further afield.
