About this vacancy
Chorus Education Trust in Sheffield is seeking Assistant Headteachers to join the Senior Leadership Team at Westfield School. This role would suit experienced Assistant Heads seeking a new challenge, or middle leaders ambitious for the next stage in their career.
Owing to colleagues from Westfield’s Senior Leadership Team gaining promotions and taking on Trust-wide roles, we are excited to be able to recruit three Assistant Headteachers to three important areas of responsibility:
· Assistant Headteacher leading Culture of Success
· Assistant Headteacher leading Behaviour & Engagement
· Assistant Headteacher leading Success for Vulnerable Students
Candidates should have a strong record of senior or middle leadership, working proactively and constructively with students, colleagues, and parents. It is essential that you can inspire and lead staff, and be a team player, supporting and coaching middle leaders and working in partnership with SLT colleagues. We are looking for people who are ambitious for our students and for themselves, with a strong commitment to their own professional learning. In return we can offer very strong opportunities for career development, and the opportunity to work within a positive, reflective, strategic and student-focused team.
This is an exciting opportunity to join a school on an exciting journey of improvement, but also a Trust that is committed to providing the very best opportunities for both staff and students. Chorus Education Trust is at an exciting time of growth and seeks to work in partnership with both primary and secondary schools across South Yorkshire and Derbyshire. Members of our schools’ Senior Leadership Teams will have the opportunity to work with their equivalent colleagues on developing cross-Trust strategies.

Westfield School is achieving great things. We became an academy on 1 December 2018, within Chorus Education Trust – an inclusive and aspirational local trust that is drawing on the very best teaching and learning across South Yorkshire and Derbyshire.
With solid foundations in place, our Headteacher is working with staff to ensure that the trust’s ethos of ‘Outstanding Achievement for All’ is at the core of all work at Westfield. The school has a strong tradition of inclusion, whilst aspiring for the very best education, opportunities and results possible for all students. We are passionate about transforming our students' life chances.
This is a school where, if you have the drive, talent and commitment, you can make great progress. It is a happy school with supportive and willing staff, students and parents. It has excellent facilities, particularly for sport – with a sports centre (including swimming pool), which can be used for free by staff.
Our leadership team, along with our dedicated staff, work with local feeder schools and parents have moved Westfield towards becoming the fantastic school it was always meant to be. The school is now regularly oversubscribed in Year 7.
