Brookfield Community School is a large 11 - 18 Academy with 1260 students on roll situated on the western edge of Chesterfield and next to the Peak District National Park. Governors are seeking to appoint a high calibre leader who will further improve all aspects of our current provision and ensure we become outstanding in terms of Ofsted and also in the eyes of our students, parents, staff and the wider community.

The successful candidate will:

  • have a demonstrable proven track record in Educational Leadership 
  • be able to provide a compelling strategic vision for the school which has high quality, inclusive education at its heart
  • be able to inspire, challenge and empower all members of the school and wider community to play their part in achieving that vision 
  • manage resources effectively and innovatively to secure best value and promote the highest achievement for students and staff alike 

This is an exciting time for a new Headteacher to join us. We are due to join the Redhill Academy Trust during the Spring of 2019. The Redhill Trust’s core purpose of raising student achievement is reflected in its values, ethos and working practices.  This is an exciting opportunity to join an expanding trust.  The Redhill Academy is also the lead school for the Redhill Teaching School Alliance, comprising of over 30 schools with a range of ages and abilities.

There is a real opportunity to further improve our academic results and shape future strategy ensuring that we remain the school of first choice in the area.

We have talented staff, committed and enthusiastic students, strong local partnerships and a wide range of extra-curricular and sporting opportunities for students.  Our enviable market town location, next to open countryside is within easy reach of many urban areas. 

Visits to the school are encouraged and warmly welcomed.  Please contact the school on 01246 568115 in order to make an appointment. For an informal discussion about the role, please contact Tim Croft Executive Headteacher at tcroft@bolsover.derbyshire.sch.uk

Brookfield Community School

This is a very popular, over-subscribed school in a pleasant suburb to the west of Chesterfield, close to the Peak District National Park.  We currently have over 1100 students, including a vibrant sixth form.  This is a school with a rich history and a reputation as a truly inclusive school and one which places great value on academic achievement.  An extensive co-curricular offer for all students is another defining characteristic of the school.  We have a strong and discernible ethos based around high expectations and impeccable behaviour.

We expect a lot from our students in every area of school life.  Celebrating academic achievement is a very significant part of what we do and the school has very strong results at GCSE and A level.

At Brookfield we recognise the vital role that education can play in the lives of young people.  Education should be an extremely rich experience - an experience in itself and not just a preparation for the next stage of life.   Our mission is to develop confident, articulate, resilient and well-qualified young people who are empowered to change the world.  The school, in terms of its academic outcomes, performs well, but it is our aim that the school is in the top 10% of schools nationally, and one with a regional and national reputation for the quality of the high-quality, rounded education it provides.

In March 2019 Brookfield formally joined Redhill Academy Trust.  This represents an enormous opportunity for the school.  The principles at the heart of Redhill are in line with those of the school.  These are based on high expectations for all students, the value of academic achievement, high quality teaching and learning and the importance of widening students’ experiences.  Staff at Brookfield are working closely with Redhill and benefiting from the support the Trust offers, such as participation in subject networks and bespoke training programmes.  Brookfield staff are already contributing to the wider support that Redhill offers to other schools.

This is a wonderful school with outstanding students, supportive parents and dedicated staff.  This enviable combination is a key reason behind the success – and enormous potential – of Brookfield Community School.
