Job overview
At The Chalfonts Community College, we believe that for children to make good academic progress, they need to be safe, happy, and feel that they belong to a community that values and cares for them. Our Year Leaders are therefore some of the most important people in our school. They are responsible for leading our tutors and pastoral support staff in ensuring that all of our children are known as individuals, and have the right support in place to flourish. They are responsible for identifying any trends in their year group, such as attendance or uniform standards slipping, or a new unsafe or unkind behaviour becoming popular, and they work to develop and implement plans to address these. Our Year Leaders take a lead on investigating and managing any serious behaviour incidents in their year group, ensuring that children are sanctioned fairly, and that plans are in place to prevent anything similar happening again. They work closely with the SENDCo and our Safeguarding Team to ensure that we identify any difficulties early, and that our most vulnerable children have access to the best and highest levels of support.
What we are looking for
Ideally, we want to find an experienced pastoral leader, who can demonstrate success in a similar role, and who understands the challenging national picture we are facing in education. However, even more important, is finding the right person with the right values and ethos – someone who shares our school values, who cares about children, and who enjoys spending time with them. Someone who is able to work positively with young people who may have difficult lives, and who may find school difficult, and who is able to provide them with the caring boundaries and effective support that they need in order to reach the high expectations we have of them.
