Dear prospective applicant,
Thank you for expressing an interest in this key vacancy at our college. The College has been serving the community since 1950 and continues to be a ‘Good’ school after last being inspected in January 2016.
I would urge you to visit our website and view clips of our college and what it means to work at this amazing college. https://www.crownhills.com/join-us/
My desire is that we do not become a College that is driven by OFSTED and whether we are ‘Good’ or ‘Outstanding’. I want us to be at the forefront of educational excellence because we want to provide the best educational experience possible for the children in our care. This is extremely difficult in a climate of ever increasing accountability and diminishing resources. However I sincerely believe that if we lead this community by staying true to our values then it is possible.
We are very clear that the gender, background, colour, poverty, wealth 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. We are currently forecasting a P8 score of +0.25 and have moved from zero over the past two years and we know we still have room for further improvement.
The college is driven by three key values:
Aspiration - Be the best you can be
Commitment - Do what it takes for as long as it takes
Success - Be ready to take on the world
I am looking to invest in this key area of the school and have therefore restructured the way that the inclusion team work. These 3 posts are completely new and the successful candidate will be attached to a specific year group and work closely with the Head of Year.
There is currently a social inclusion team that consists of a counsellor and 3 inclusion support workers that support the mentoring and supervision of students in behaviour support.
This role is extremely important in supporting the value of commitment as we believe this is the missing piece in the puzzle that will make this college great.
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: www.crownhills.com, outlining how you meet the person specification in Section 7 (no more then 2 sides of A4, font 12) and including e-mail addresses of all referees. All completed applications to be emailed to jamey@crownhills.leicester.sch.uk by 9am on Thursday 22nd August 2019.
Previous applicants need not apply.
Interviews are likely to take place during week commencing 2nd September 2019.
I look forward to meeting you and receiving your application.
Yours sincerely,
Mr F Adam
(Principal)

Our aim has always been to make Crown Hills Community College one of the best schools to attend as a child and to work in as a member of staff.
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.
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.
We have nearly 200 staff and 1500 students. Our mission is simple, we want every student to be the best that they can be, thrive in the best possible career and contribute positively to society.
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.
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 +0.17 in 2023.
