Leicester, United Kingdom Crown Hills Full time

Assistant Principal for Teaching Learning & Professional Development

NEW Assistant Principal for Teaching Learning & Professional Development
Thank you for expressing an interest in this key vacancy at our college. This post has arisen due to a change of responsibilities within the leadership team and this role will be integral in supporting our college 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.
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. 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.
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. We are well oversubscribed, even though we have increased our PAN from 240 to 300 pupils, we have more applicants than we have spaces. Our P8 score has also increased year on year and we have fluctuated between the top 12% and 20% of schools nationally. We are particularly proud that our PP pupils achieved a score of +0.We have removed lesson observations from the appraisal process for the last seven years and linked it to professional development. 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. We will talk more about this at the information evening.
The role is about improving teachers and their delivery, based on our already established ‘temple’ and how their improved pedagogy can improve outcomes for our children. We will speak more about the temple and what it means on the information evening. We have arranged a compulsory information evening preferably in person or over Teams as this process is very much two-way and you need to be sure that this is a school you want to work in.
The Information Evening will take place on Tuesday 7th May at 5.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 Seedat (email in job pack)by Monday 13th May 2024 at 9am.
I look forward to meeting you in person or seeing you online and hopefully reading your application
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children.
