Vice Principal- Quality of Education

2 weeks ago

Derby, Derby, United Kingdom Alvaston Moor Academy Full time
Do you believe that we must never accept that personal circumstances, socio-economic background or prior attainment will inevitably limit young people's potential?

Are you committed to the transformational power of education to shape lives and futures?

If so, we want to hear from you


We are looking for professionals who are ambitious but humble, innovative but research-led, and warm and compassionate, with unapologetically high standards, to join us on our mission to take Alvaston Moor Academy in Derby from its current position to become one of the very best schools in the country.


In a community where almost 70% of pupils qualify for pupil premium funding, for more than a generation the school has struggled to consistently be the great school it can be, and that its young people, their parents and the community of Alvaston are entitled to.


In the last decade, the school has seen periods of real improvement, but progress has often not survived changes in leadership, and positive changes have proved short-lived.

In 2021, Alvaston Moor began its latest journey of improvement as part of Archway Learning Trust.

Once again, improvement has come - recently recognised by Ofsted - but this time there is no alternative to ensuring that it is sustainable.

And, more than this, that the school finally delivers on its potential, demonstrates to its community, the city of Derby and the whole world that our children have as much potential as children anywhere.


Do you want to be:
- part of this story?
- part of the team that breaks the cycle of hard-won improvement followed by debilitating turbulence?
- part of the team that delivers on a promise to a community that has never stopped wanting, but might have stopped expecting, the best for their children?
- part of a team serving a community that put simply, deserve the very best?


The post holder will help shape & drive the strategic vision of the school, and write the school's SEF to monitor our work against our plans.

They will work hard to ensure that all children in the school excel from whatever their starting point, working with other leaders in the Trust to share ideas and practice.

This is a role where we are looking for someone who always wants more for the children that we serve and you will be committed to facilitating that ambition.

This is genuinely an exciting opportunity for an ambitious leader who is keen to develop their skills.

Working closely with the Principal, Executive Principal and Governors, all of whom share the vision for the school to be exceptional in all areas to help secure the levels of social mobility that we want to give our children.

Whilst not prerequisite, this post holder is likely to have ambitions to headship and this role will undoubtedly give them the experience and in school training/coaching to achieve this should that be their focus, particularly in our growing trust.


The role will be based at Alvaston Moor Academy but the post holder may at any time be required to support or work at any of the sites within Archway Learning Trust.


Archway Learning Trust, previously Bluecoat Academies Trust was formed in April 2014 as a result of the very long and successful history of Bluecoat Academy.

We welcomed three further secondary schools in Derby to the Trust in 2021 and opened Bluecoat Trent Academy, a secondary Free School in Nottingham in September 2021.


The Trust now comprises of Bluecoat Aspley Academy, Bluecoat Sixth Form, Bluecoat Wollaton Academy, Bluecoat Beechdale Academy, Bluecoat Primary Academy, Bluecoat Bentinck Primary Academy, The Nottingham Emmanuel School and Sixth Form, Bluecoat Trent Academy, The Long Eaton School, Lees Brook Academy, Alvaston Moor Academy and the Bluecoat SCITT Alliance (School Centred Initial Teacher Training).


The growth and development of our Multi-Academy Trust makes this an excellent opportunity to join us, as we seek to serve a growing number of young people across the region.


In return we can offer:

  • Archway benefits to include shopping discounts and competitions
  • A free and confidential employee assistance programme offering counselling and advice
  • Access to Teachers' Pensions / Generous pension scheme
  • Access to discounted travel schemes
  • Cycle to work scheme
  • Comprehensive training and support
  • Opportunities to develop new skills and progress your career
  • Eye care voucher scheme
  • Free flu vaccine
  • Access to elearning and development
Informal visits and conversations about the post are most welcome.
