**Job overview**:
**Assistant Principal Teaching and Learning, Professional Development and Wellbeing**:
**L12-17**

**Start Date: January 2025**
- Do you **love** teaching and learning?
- Are you ready to take the next step in your leadership journey and want to experience a genuine opportunity to shape a whole school vision, alongside an excellent team of colleagues, students, and a supportive parent/carer community?
- Do you want to join a school that has a very strong track record of delivering excellent outcomes whilst also being committed to self-development and staff wellbeing?
- Are you a champion for every single student achieving excellence, being happy, and do you hold the highest ambition for what students can achieve (both inside and outside the classroom?)
- Do you want to lead and be an integral part of our good-to-great journey?

The Board of Trustees of Audenshaw School wish to appoint an Assistant Principal for Teaching and Learning, Professional Development and Wellbeing to play a key part in our journey from being a ‘Good’ School (Ofsted March 2023), to a truly ‘Great’ school in all areas, moving forward.

As a very proud Single Academy Trust we can provide high levels of autonomy for our leaders in this ever-changing educational landscape allowing colleagues that hold leadership responsibility to really thrive, lead and feel empowered in key areas they can influence. We provide strong platforms of collaboration, partnership, and networking both locally and nationally whilst then also taking advantage of being a single entity, thus leaders feeling they can drive improvement or lead changes swiftly in all areas.
- ‘In recent times, leaders have improved many aspects of the school. Pupils, staff, parents and carers appreciate the changes that leaders have made. Staff embrace leaders’ new ideas. They are keen to develop professionally. They benefit from a strong offer of staff training. Staff morale is high. They appreciate how leaders consider their well-being and workload.’ (Ofsted March 2023)_

We have recently invested further towards our professional development by providing weekly CPD time one set morning for our staff to have time and space to collaborate.

You will be part of a very supportive staff body (at a school with very low levels of staff turnover year to year), allowing for strategic school improvement, and a cohesive, supportive and very positive senior leadership team who have a track record of excellence whilst also being open and excited to self-develop for the benefit of themselves and students alike.

Finally, in what is the fourth year for the Principal in post it’s an excellent time to join the Audenshaw vision. You will be provided with excellent line management, development opportunities and be invested in having the opportunity to play a key role in realising a vision set out to move from ‘good’ to ‘great’ as a school in the forthcoming years.

We are in a healthy financial position, we are out of an Ofsted window (next due 2027/8), and we are even more passionate about what this next chapter could hold for our amazing school. Do you want to be part of what this vision could look like and more importantly what impact it could have on shaping so many young lives that will be moving through our school during the future years? -
