Job overview
Deputy Headteacher
Behaviour & Personal Development
Closing date: Monday 22nd May, 2017 at 12 noon
Start date: September 2017
In most Academies the behaviour systems appear dislocated from an Academy’s curriculum, pedagogical approach and assessment design. Not so at Phoenix. The Deputy Headteacher, Personal development, behaviour and safeguarding will be responsible for designing and embedding a behaviour system that reinforces our core ethos and approach to teaching and learning; therefore taking the lead role in developing the academy’s culture and ethos.
This role represents a unique opportunity to join an Academy at the beginning of its improvement journey and help grow Phoenix into a beacon for state education. We know that the quality of an Academy cannot outstrip the quality of its teachers and so we place a primacy on teacher growth and development. Working for Phoenix you will receive high levels of support and coaching and be allowed to develop into a highly reflective and effective leader.
If you are obsessed about the importance of clear routines and expectations and have the experience and desire to help transform an academy through consistent structures and practices then this is the job for you.
We can offer you:
* Free access to our leisure centre which includes a swimming pool, fitness suite and dance studio
* The opportunity to work with enthusiastic and happy pupils
* Excellent CPD focused on outstanding teaching and learning
* Access to the Trust Future Leaders programme
* The expertise and support of senior leadership and colleagues across the Future Academies Trust
* An area well served by public transport, plus ample car parking on site

About Phoenix Academy
At Phoenix Academy our ethos is clear and we are unwavering in our dedication to it: "High Expectations. No Excuses. No Shortcuts.” We simply believe that every child, regardless of background or prior achievement, can be successful if given great teaching and pastoral support.
At Phoenix we are creating an environment where it’s safe to be happy and where everyone strives for success. Our mission is to create a school of the highest standard that achieves this through recruiting and training excellent teachers and support staff, and by developing a pastoral system that ensures no child is left behind.
At Phoenix we place the curriculum at the heart of academy life and believe all strategic decisions should flow from this. Our academic curriculum ensures that all students get the opportunity to study academic disciplines and to wrestle with ways of thinking that take them beyond their everyday understandings. This is because at Phoenix, we believe that all learners should encounter and wrestle with ways of constructing knowledge and ways of thinking that are above their everyday experiences, and see that academic concepts are different from everyday concepts and ways of explaining the world.
We want all our teachers to be subject experts, immersed in the scholarship of their subject and keen to share that passion with every student in the Academy. Alongside this we are also passionate that every student develops into a polite and well-rounded young person through exposure to a varied diet of enriching experiences. We are developing a unique Adventure Learning and wilderness survival programme and are heavily invested in the Duke of Edinburgh Programme.
We also want to look after our staff; this includes free access to our leisure centre and swimming pool, excellent CPD and career enhancement and free breakfast and lunch each day.
