North Yorkshire, United Kingdom The Skipton Academy Full time
Head of Creative Arts - MPR/UPR +

TLR:
2A (£3,017.00)


Thank you for enquiring about this key leadership post at The Skipton Academy - we very much welcome your interest and hope the accompanying information will encourage you to apply.

This is an exciting time in the school's development. In January 2023, TSA was graded by Ofsted as a "Good" school, the first time in its history.

It is pleasing that Ofsted have recognised the hard work of all staff, pupils and their families for making The Skipton Academy such a wonderful place to come and learn.

It is even more pleasing that for the first time in recent memory, the school is completely full in Year 7 next year.

The number of families choosing to send their children show that the improvements have lasted, and the school is continuing to build a legacy for the young people and families in Skipton.


These changes have been achieved through an unrelenting focus on the academy's ethos of 'Belong, Challenge, Inspire', where we expect all our staff and students to model this through their behaviours, to ensure that all our students can achieve their full potential.

Our staff are fully committed to this ethos and have bought into a common goal and support each other to make The Skipton Academy a vibrant and positive place to work.


Another of our key developments was the Academy joining Moorlands Learning Trust (MLT) in December 2019, to work alongside the Trust's founding school - Ilkley Grammar School - a large outstanding secondary school 15 minutes away from Skipton.


Moorlands Learning Trust, Ilkley Grammar School and The Skipton Academy have a vision and values that are fully aligned, with Moorlands Learning Trust being a Multi Academy Trust that recognises and values that each school is unique.

We are also a member of the Red Kite Alliance which enables us to work with a range of schools from across West and North Yorkshire to collaborate and share best practice.


The successful Head of Creative Arts will be an excellent practitioner who can inspire outstanding learning and progress, and who has the ambition, creativity, determination and skills to ensure that every student enjoys an exceptional creative arts education; they will have high expectations and an unwavering commitment to all staff, students and stakeholders.


In all cases, in order to ensure that we can further improve and continue to grow sustainably, post holders will benefit from additional leadership and management time in their first year to be able to have the capacity to fully evaluate and strategically develop our creative arts provision further.


If you have the ability to engage and enthuse our staff and students, as well as the skills, qualities and experiences to be an exceptional Head of Creative Arts, then we would love to hear from you.

- a dedicated and passionate teacher who has resilience and a strong, positive work ethic
- an individual with the ability to teach across the full age and ability range in Music, and ideally Art at KS3, with proven success of delivering excellent outcomes for students
- committed to providing high quality lessons to engage, challenge and inspire our students
- a colleague who is inspirational to colleagues and students and committed to sharing best practice
- able to support and challenge and hold colleagues to account to deliver excellent outcomes
- committed to demonstrating high levels of presence, impact, transparency, integrity and emotional intelligence
- able to work collaboratively with a range of internal teams and external partners
- committed to extra-curricular and enrichment opportunities

In return for your commitment we can offer:

  • the opportunity to make a real difference at a growing and improving school and as part of the wider Trust
- personalised CPD with a strong commitment to professional growth and developing individual career paths
- a very calm and orderly school with high expectations and an ethos of trust and care
- a committed and enthusiastic staff
- very supportive colleagues in the Senior Leadership Team and Trust Executive

Please explain:
- how you would lead developments in the curriculum and learning and teaching to ensure students have a memorable, enjoyable experience and make excellent progress.
- your experiences, qualities and skills which make you suitable for the post, with specific examples of the impact you have had in your current role.
