Year Leader

Gateshead, United Kingdom Lord Lawson of Beamish Academy Full time

The Year Leader will take responsibility for the academic progress and pastoral care of all students within the year group. They will embrace, promote and actively develop the academy’s vision and values to personalise the educational provision for every student within Lord Lawson of Beamish Academy. They will be proactive and professional and will always maintain confidentiality. They will also ensure that all safeguarding procedures are enforced in accordance with the academy’s safeguarding policy. They will be responsible for the work of the Deputy Year Leader and will work closely with other colleagues. They will take a leading role in promoting the school to prospective students and their parents, and they will share a leading role in organising transition points for students, for example, KS4 Options and Sixth Form transition.

The pastoral team at Lord Lawson of Beamish Academy includes a range of expertise and knowledge that supports our students to grow, learn and succeed. Ian Cooper is the Deputy Principal for Pastoral Care and Inclusion: he holds overall responsibility for the pastoral team. His leadership is supported by Paul Walsh (Assistant Principal - Behaviour), Alex Rayner (Assistant Principal - Safeguarding and Attendance) and Helen Potter (Assistant Principal - SENDCo). This allows the pastoral team to remain proactive, supporting our students throughout the school day. The pastoral team also includes attendance officers, school counsellor and mental health mentor, and the learning support room team. Pastoral staff have strong supportive relationships with external agencies and partners, which enable them to safeguard and support students with the different challenges they face. In summary, you will be part of a well-resourced and proactive team.

As a Year Leader, you will quickly become part of our mission to transform the education and life chances for around 1350 children in Birtley, on the southern edge of Gateshead. You will join an ambitious and collegiate team of senior and middle leaders, who are passionately committed to improving the school for the benefit of its students. Before its ‘Good’ judgement, the school had two ‘Requires Improvement’ judgements from Ofsted (February 2017 and June 2019). I joined the school as Principal in June 2019, immediately following the second ‘RI’ judgement. With a new and reinvigorated leadership team, I have led a transformational programme of school improvement. Our school has benefited from substantial support, working with outstanding local partners. Finances are now sustainable, and lines of accountability are clear. Staff have worked together, in working parties and as part of our collaborative professional development programme, to improve behaviour and attitudes, students’ personal development, and the quality of education. Examination results last summer were good, maintaining the progress made the previous year and demonstrating the improvements that we have already made.

This important middle leadership role would suit an ambitious and effective teacher (Year Leaders teach a half timetable), able to demonstrate the impact of their actions and initiative, and eager to develop their leadership potential. It is unlikely that any individual, whatever their current role, will already have the full set of knowledge, skills and experience that are necessary to be completely effective in this role from the outset. The successful applicant will need to be highly adaptable, and training will be provided. Applications are therefore welcomed from individuals at various stages of their careers, who are committed to inclusion, progress, and the continued improvement of our school and its students.

If you would like to discuss what it is like to work at Lord Lawson, or to have a broader conversation about this role, please ring the school on 0191 433 4026 and ask to speak to me or to Ian Cooper, Deputy Principal (Pastoral Care and Inclusion). We would also be happy to meet you and to take you on a tour of the school. We are offering ‘open days’ on Tuesday 13 February, 8:30 - 11:00am, and Thursday 15 February from 1:00pm.

Lord Lawson of Beamish Academy is a successful 11-18 mainstream co-educational academy which has improved rapidly over recent years. We recently celebrated achieving a ‘Good’ Ofsted rating in our November 2022 inspection. The improvement in progress 8 scores from 2019 to 2022 indicates we are the most improved school in Gateshead and among the top 10% of schools for improvement in the North East of England.

We provide an exceptional programme of CPD for staff. We know this through staff surveys and our exceptionally low levels of staff turnover. The majority of staff who have left us have gone on to promoted positions. Staff are happy here; Lord Lawson of Beamish Academy is a good place to work. We have high expectations of our staff and students, but we also know our staff are our greatest asset, and w
