We are seeking to appoint a well-qualified, enthusiastic, dynamic and inspirational Senior Assistant Principal to join an excellent Senior Leadership Team.
The Stephen Longfellow Academy is an Alternative Provision based in the South of Leeds that has changed the face of Alternative Provision, both locally and nationally. Opened in September 2017, The Stephen Longfellow Academy serves schools across Leeds to support some of the most vulnerable young people in the city re-engage with education by following a bespoke curriculum offer that reopens the doors of opportunity that were, at one point, firmly shut. This is because our exceptional team of staff create personalised pathways that combine an academically rich curriculum combined with personalised therapeutic support. This allows significantly high numbers of students to re-engage in mainstream education or enter further education, employment or training.
Inspected in October 2019, inspectors told us that, ‘Leaders want the very best for pupils and have established an effective alternative provision in a short period of time. They are working together well to make this school even better for the benefit of its pupils and their families.’ They also judged all areas of the academy to be Good. We hope to further improve our provision with this new and exciting role.
Our new Senior Assistant Principal will be responsible for designing and implementing the bespoke academic and therapeutic pathways for pupils in Key Stage 1, Key Stage 2 and into Key Stage 3 (up to Year 8). The successful applicant will be instrumental in designing the curriculum offer to ensure it meets the needs of our students. A proven and highly successful teacher from an education background with experience of teaching Key Stage 1, 2 and/or 3 will be the person who shapes and leads this new part of our work.
Applications are welcome from experienced colleagues seeking a new challenge. The precise leadership responsibilities will be determined both by the strengths of the successful applicant and the requirements of the academy upon appointment.
