This position would suit an experienced and aspiring Senior Leader who is ready to develop their skills further.We believe this is a stimulating and unique opportunity to work within The Alliance Multi-Academy Trust and to continue to develop learning excellence.
The successful candidate will possess the drive and imagination to take the school into the future, working closely with the Trust, Local Academy Board and neighbouring junior school to develop and enhance the skills, expertise and opportunities of a great team of staff.
We are looking for someone who:
• Has a passion for teaching, learning and success.
• Sets aspirational expectations for everyone and supports people to attain them.
• Is able to communicate effectively with the wider school community and relate to others with sensitivity.
• Has a sincere interest in developing the full potential of each child and a real belief in collaborative leadership.
• Leads by example, both with regard to the day to day classroom activities / lessons as well as the strategic development and governance of the school: the successful candidate should have the ability to uphold ambitious educational standards across the school by having a strong strategic overview, and an ability to establish and sustain professional working relationship with those responsible for governance.
• Will inspire the whole school community to nurture our pupils to be kind, confident and successful learners.

This is a very exciting time to join our Trust as we move into the next stage of our development where we can offer a wealth of support with collaborative opportunities to ensure all our schools have capacity to bring the best out of staff and pupils.
A range of activities such as forest school and sports make use of our lovely, wooded grounds and our large shared playing fields during and outside the school day. These activities, as well as extra-curricular French, dance and music are valued by pupils and families. We would strongly encourage candidates to arrange an informal meeting either socially distanced or MS Teams and/or a telephone conversation with the Trust CEO and/or the retiring Head Teacher.
We think our school is very special and the Headteacher is at the heart of it all, providing outstanding leadership to ensure a nurturing, safe, supportive and inspiring school experience for our students.
We look forward to meeting you.

ABOUT US
Vision and Values We believe…. that every child is unique, with unique gifts and abilities. Our role is not merely to promote the individual learning of the child but also to draw out all his/her unique gifts and to see that each child is valued for his or her particular contribution. At the very heart of what we believe as a school is a commitment to the development of the whole child, which includes emotional, intellectual, aesthetic, moral, physical, social and spiritual qualities and sees every child developing in their own unique way at their own pace.
We intend… that every child that comes to Crawley Ridge Infant School should have the very best possible start to the formal educational process, and we seek to give them everything needed to develop the skills, knowledge, understanding and attitudes which will equip them for the whole of their journey through a lifetime of learning. Great emphasis is placed on learning. There are happy schools and there are hard- working schools, but we believe absolutely that we can be both a happy and a hard- working school – a place where the whole child is developed socially and intellectually, whilst being empowered to achieve the highest possible results and standards.
We want… this school to be a place where dreams can become a reality, where no ceilings are placed on what can be expected of anyone and where every member of the school community, of every age, is encouraged to see the sky as the limit. We want every child who comes here to be happy, inspired, enthused and challenged. We want our school to be a place with a buzz, where there is energy and a spirit of curiosity, a place where people are able to make mistakes and take risks; where every individual is equally valued as a person in his or her own right, and where each learns to value and respect others for who they are as members of this community.
‘Others First’ is an important motto for our school, which every child learns to appreciate.
We aim… that as one team – staff, pupils, parents, governors alike – we will work hard with happy, cheerful, enthusiastic determination to succeed and achieve the stated aim of the school which is: To release and develop the full intellectual, emotional and spiritual potential of every individual child at the start of a journey that they will continue for the rest of their lives, seeing that each child achieves the maximum that he or she is capable of as a unique person. Ordinary people achieving extraordinary things together.
