Head of Maths Faculty

1 month ago

Leicester, Leicester, United Kingdom Crown Hills Community College Full time

Dear prospective applicant,

Thank you for expressing an interest in this key vacancy at our college. This is a key role in our college as we move from good to great.

The last few years have been amazing for our college community, as we have started to gain external recognition for the way we are doing things; from being shortlisted twice for the TES well-being school of the year in 2022 and 2023, to being one of five schools to win the Silver Award for the Pearson's secondary school of the year in 2023.

Our aim has always been to make this school one of the best schools to attend as a child and to work in as a member of staff. That mission is extremely rare and we urge you to come and see us in action, speak to the staff and speak to the students. Every decision that we take is done with a lot of thought and consideration and we put well-being at the centre, so that teachers can teach and students can learn.

Therefore, we are not a college that is driven by OFSTED and whether we are GOOD or OUTSTANDING but we do things because they are at the very essence of helping our children and school community to be the best that they can be.

Our approach is underpinned by leaders understanding their responsibility and fulfilling it, not by wielding their power or authority and we welcome and appreciate challenge if we do not live up to the standards that are expected of us.

You need to have the emotional intelligence to deal with sensitive matters with clarity as well as trusting those around you to deliver and, when needed, have tough love conversations to improve delivery.

You will have the responsibility of up to 12 staff, including two Deputy Head of Faculty, so your ability to work with different groups of people in a dynamic environment is paramount, and a key part of the role.

As Principal, it has always been my philosophy to grow and nurture new talent so that we create the next generation of leaders, it is something that I have done throughout my career, and this role will support the successful individual on their journey.

We are very clear that the gender, background, colour, financial or social status of a child should have no bearing on how well they perform and staff here work extremely hard in trying to close that gap between the different groups of pupils.

All of our pupils are entered for Maths and our progress score was +0.31(Top 35%) and grade 4+ was at 65% last year. So, there is still some work to do as we are aiming to be in the top 5% of schools nationally.

We have removed lesson observations from the appraisal process for the last seven years and linked it to professional development. Currently staff are entitled to 'visits' and entitled to a professional dialogue to improve their practice. That is a risk we have taken but it is aimed at creating a learning community where teachers can teach and learners can learn, without fear.

Our behaviour policy is clear and simple, "First Time Every Time," no quibbles, no arguments just do as we expect. Teachers no longer have to do detentions, chase up absence, attendance or punctuality. These are all done centrally with a highly skilled team that has taken the workload away from teachers.

Curriculum is obviously now at the forefront of what we do and is the progression model. We have spent a significant amount of time ensuring that the curriculum is sequenced appropriately so that students are knowing, remembering and therefore able to do more.

Teachers are at the centre of delivery, they hold the knowledge and it is their expertise that is used to impart the key knowledge to students, we call it a knowledge-first approach and not a discovery model of delivery.

If you have high aspirations for children from deprived backgrounds and experience of delivering educational excellence by improving pupil outcomes, then we would love to hear from you.

I would also urge you to look at our well-being charter that provides you with clarity about how you will be supported in your role as a leader at the college and what the expectations are that we have of you as a leader at CHCC.

Please read the attached job description and person specification. If you are interested in applying, please fill in the application form available on our website, please include e-mail addresses of all referees, and email it together with a letter of application (no more than 2 sides of A4) outlining your experience relevant to this post to Sumaya (email in attached pack) by Wednesday 22nd May 9am.

I look forward to meeting you in person or seeing you online and hopefully reading your application

Yours sincerely,

Mr F Adam

(Principal)
