Assistant Principal: Teaching and Learning - Rotherham, South Yorkshire, United Kingdom - Astrea Academy Dearne
Description
Do you want to be part of a leadership team where you will help make a lasting impact on our students, many of whom are disadvantaged, and rapidly accelerate their progress?
Do you want to work in a school where you are free to teach, with impeccable student behaviour and unhindered by bureaucracy?
Astrea Academy Trust is looking for a candidate who is ready to take their next step in leadership to become an Assistant Principal at Astrea Academy Dearne. This is an excellent opportunity for an existing senior leader or middle leader, with a track record of whole-school impact and an interest in improving teaching and learning for children. The position is a great match for someone who shares the Trust's vision for educational excellence and has the focus to drive rapid, transformational improvement; this is main driver for this position, above the specific areas of responsibility that colleagues may have previously experienced.
We are committed to a knowledge-rich curriculum and a traditional approach to teaching, behaviour and culture. We believe that schools must teach powerful knowledge, 'the best that has been thought and said' and an 'entitlement curriculum' for all. We believe in explicit instruction and have been greatly influenced by Lemov's 'Teach Like A Champion', Rosenshine and recent developments in cognitive science. We believe that the creation of a scholarly culture that is warm and strict, disciplined and joyful, where there is 'purpose not power', ensuring impeccable behaviour, where teachers can focus on teaching and pupils can focus on learning, underpins everything.
We are values-driven and our vision is to provide an inclusive, aspirational and academic education for all our students, so that all of them will learn, thrive and lead successful lives. We are unapologetically ambitious for every child, no matter what their background, prior attainment or needs. We want to ensure that all our students have the option to be able to go to university or aspirational alternative. We are not going to reduce expectations because of a child's background or home life, or because they are new to English or have a special education need. In fact, the opposite is true. It is our job to redouble our efforts to help children overcome these barriers so that they can flourish.
We value our staff highly and treat workload very seriously. Our systems are high leverage, ensuring you can really focus on your core purpose – teaching, in a sustainable way, unhindered by bureaucracy or poor behaviour.
