Programme Leader MFL

Welcome - Thank you for your interest in Crawshaw Academy, part of the Red Kite Learning Trust.

This is an exciting time to be working for the Trust; in joining our school you will play an important role in shaping the future of this rapidly improving academy.

We are a mixed 11-16 Academy with a comprehensive intake; the majority of whom live in the Pudsey Area. The proportion of students supported by the pupil premium is average as is the proportion of students supported at school action plus or with a statement of special educational needs. 

To ensure all students have the opportunities to achieve their full potential we have recently restructured our pastoral and curriculum organisation. On the curriculum side we now have an established faculty based structure with Programme Leaders and Assistant Programme Leaders supporting the Faculty Leader in their drive for excellence. We are developing this further in the core areas, introducing Executive Head of Department roles, to further strengthen the leadership of these important areas.

The C.R.A.W.S.H.A.W. acronym captures our aspirations for everybody involved with the academy.

These aspirations are the starting point for all improvement planning and decision making. We want our students to develop these attributes to ensure that, in addition to outstanding examination results, they are ready to lead happy and successful lives. These aspirations are inclusive of our staff and our wider community as only by working together will we achieve the best possible outcomes for all our young people.

Further information on development opportunities through the Alliance and Trust are available through our websites: http://www.redkitealliance.co.uk/cpd--leadership/ and http://www.rklt.co.uk/about/

We are looking for staff who have a drive and determination to ensure that our students are given the very best opportunities to succeed. They will be passionate about improving the life chances of our young people and have a clear vision on how to secure improvement through our Crawshaw Community standards.

Our Commitment to You - Our People Vision is for all staff to enjoy being part of a caring and progressive learning community where there is a passion to be the best we can be.

To be the best we can be we have to hold ourselves to account and continually review our practice to drive standards and improvements in our pupil achievement, quality of teaching, behaviour and safety of pupils and leadership and management. We have to grow strong leaders for now and the future as well as focusing on core people activities.

To support us in the next stage of our development to be the best we can we need to attract the best talent to work with our people leaders in raising standards and driving change. Our commitment to you is to develop you by providing the support and development in this role to enable you to showcase your capabilities. We will also work with you to understand your future aspirations and ambitions and how we can facilitate these.

If you feel you have the skills, knowledge and experience to make a difference at Crawshaw and the wider Trust, we would welcome an application. If you have any questions or would like to visit the school I would be extremely pleased to talk with you.
