Required for November 2024
The Governing Body of Acland Burghley is looking to appoint an outstanding Student Progress Leader (SPL) to join the school’s academic support team. The role of SPL is a non-teaching post attached to specific year groups in the school with responsibilities around student attendance, progress and well-being. The role involves 10 days’ work outside term time to support with results’ days and other calendared events.
The successful candidate will be a strong team player, who is passionate about inclusion and supporting students to overcome barriers to learning. Effective SPLs are relentless in supporting students to make good progress in their learning, and resourceful and creative in finding ways to help them to succeed. The post of SPL is funded partly from the Pupil Premium, and post holders are expected to dedicate significant energy to ensuring that disadvantaged students receive the support they need to keep pace with their more advantaged peers.
The successful candidate will have a strong commitment to ensuring that every student makes outstanding academic progress together with experience of supporting students to successfully move onto the next stage of their education. S(he) will have the highest expectations for the attendance, behaviour and academic progress and will understand the importance of the partnership between school and families. They will be comfortable liaising with a range of partners outside school and will be able to plan and deliver high-quality information evenings for parents / carers.
Organisational skills are paramount in this role.
Student Progress Leaders share responsibility for the educational outcomes of students in their year groups and are held accountable for these through appraisal by the Director of Learning for their key stage. Candidates should be able to demonstrate that they are effective at managing their time to make impact on student progress and will play an active and visible role in managing the behaviour of students across the site throughout the school day.
Above all, applicants for the posts should demonstrate an uncompromising belief in the potential of every student, and the skills to personalise their approach so that every child succeeds both in their chosen academic pathway and in terms of maximising their extra-curricular opportunities including work experience. The successful candidate will demonstrate an ability to work successfully with students from across the ability range in order to maximise their potential; the achievement of disadvantaged and SEND students is at the heart of our school and a commitment to inclusive practice goes alongside this role.
If you would like to play your part in securing outstanding provision for our students, we would very much like to hear from you. To arrange an informal telephone conversation or a visit to the school, please contact Michelle Lineham, HR Manager on recruitment@aclandburghley.camden.sch.uk
