Steel City Schools Partnership has been established to ensure a local, primary led partnership of schools with an ambition to work closely with other Academies and schools.

The “To provide a first class, innovative education for all” philosophy drives policy, practice and governance in order to achieve the Trust aims, which are to provide a high quality learning and cultural environment that inspires and motivates children, staff and the wider community to engage in education and learning.

Fox Hill is a successful school (Ofsted Good - July 2019) in the north of Sheffield serving predominantly the Fox Hill estate. The school has approximately 57% of the cohort deemed disadvantaged pupils and also hosts an Integrated Resource base for 24 pupils with ‘complex and multiple’ special educational needs. The school was rehoused in a new building in 2015.

Fox Hill works closely with the local secondary school and is a targeted English Hub (Whiston Worrygoose) network school for early reading and phonics.

Windmill Hill Primary (Ofsted Good – November 2013) joined SCSP in February 2018 after a period of time working in conjunction with the CEO. Windmill Hill serves the Burncross / Chapeltown area in north Sheffield. The biggest challenge facing the school is the condition of the building and in 2021 SCSP submitted a fourth bid to the ESFA for a new build with the support of the Governors, local councillors and the local MP. The school has made an application to reduce pupil numbers (30) due to a fall in the local birth rate. This is due to take effect from September 2023.

Woodseats Primary (Ofsted Good – November 2016) joined SCSP in September 2019 after a period of collaboration with Greenhill Primary. The headteacher is a lead head within the locality. The school is housed within a Victorian building, and is based in the south of the city on the Chesterfield Road (A61). The school has approximately 33% of the pupils deemed to be disadvantaged yet recorded results in 2019 that were in line with or above national in all key stages.

We expect the successful candidate to work within our collaborative spirit and ethos, by building on the successes of the individual schools by working in conjunction with others to raise standards and enhance the outcomes for the pupils, families and communities we serve.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare and safety of children and vulnerable adults and expect all staff to share this commitment. All successful candidates will be required to complete an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service Check.

We value our diverse workforce and aim to work together to make the most of our differences. We welcome applications from everyone. Under the Disability Confident Scheme, disabled applicants, who meet the essential criteria of this job, are guaranteed an interview.
