Job overview

We are seeking a talented, engaging and ambitious leader with a passion for making a difference. The successful candidate will make a positive impact on the lives and futures of the students in our school. 

The Head of RE, RSE, PSHE and Citizenship is a new role at our growing schools. The teaching role will be based at The Telford Park School, but the leadership of curriculum delivery will be across both schools. The Head of RE, RSE, PSHE and Citizenship will take responsibility for the programme of learning through which pupils will acquire the knowledge, understanding and skills they need to lead successful lives. This will be supported by a dedicated TLR holder at The Telford Langley School to lead and manage the implementation of this curriculum. Other teaching staff across the schools will also be part of the enthusiastic and dedicated team delivering these lessons.   

We seek a leader who is passionate about personal development, academic excellence, collaboration and delivering high quality support for every student.

This role offers the successful candidate an excellent opportunity to promote the wider development of students, in addition to their learning and achievement and to gain experience in strategic and operational leadership. 

The successful applicant will:

  • Model excellence in day-to-day leadership.
  • Lead the development of high quality, learning centred policies &               practices
  • Work with staff to ensure the department reflects the school’s ethos and aims.
  • Develop a strategic view for the department which supports the vision, ethos and policies of the school.
  • Support the creation and implementation of the school improvement plan, especially as it relates to the department and to take responsibility for appropriately delegated aspects of it.
  • Use national, local and school management data effectively, to monitor standards across the department.
  • Monitor the progress made towards achieving annual plans and targets and use the information to plan future developments.
  • We will offer you:
  • An extensive CPD programme to nurture and develop your talents at all levels, 
  • A professional, hard-working and supportive team that works together to create a welcoming, vibrant learning culture inclusive to all, 
  • Access to a network of successful schools to share best practice and develop career prospects at the highest level. 
  • The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share the commitment. The post will be subject to an enhanced DBS check and all qualifications will be verified.

April Start

As this is a new post, we are keen for the successful applicant to join our school after the Easter holidays. This will provide curriculum planning time to make this venture as successful as possible. Therefore, there will be no formal teaching timetable for the summer term, but we may require some support covering absent colleagues. This should provide an opportunity to become more familiar with the staff, pupils, policies and procedures before the start of the new academic year.  

CLOSING DATE: 9.00AM, Friday, 7th February 2020. Interviews: Thursday, 13th February 2020.

Head’s Foreword

Welcome to Telford Park School, where a commitment to excellence in education is at the core of everything we do. As Headteacher, I am proud to lead a school that prioritises delivering a high-quality, well-rounded education that not only supports academic success but also prepares our students for life beyond the classroom.

At Telford Park, our carefully crafted, knowledge-rich curriculum is both engaging and challenging, offering a wide variety of subjects to meet the diverse interests and strengths of our students. We aim to inspire curiosity and foster a lifelong love of learning, ensuring that each student gains the skills, knowledge, and critical thinking abilities they need to excel in their future endeavours.

We also recognise the importance of preparing students for the world of work, which is why we offer a comprehensive careers programme. This includes opportunities for work experience, career guidance, and support in making informed decisions about further education and career paths. Our goal is to help every student achieve their ambitions.

A positive and respectful environment is essential for student success, and our behaviour expectations reflect this. We set high standards and provide clear guidance to maintain a safe, inclusive, and supportive atmosphere where all students can thrive. Our core values—being prepared, showing respect, and challenging oneself—are key to both academic and personal development.

Equally important is our commitment to student well-being. We provide strong pastoral care, recognising that a student’s emotional health is fundamental to their overall success. Our pastoral team works closely with students and families to ensure that every individual feels supported, valued, and heard, fostering resilience and personal growth.

We understand the vital role of regular attendance in student success. By working closely with families, we promote good attendance habits, recognising that every school day is an opportunity for learning, development, and building connections within our community.

As part of our continuous improvement efforts, we regularly reflect on our practices and make changes to enhance the educational experience for our students. This includes updating our curriculum, investing in resources, and providing professional development for staff to ensure we are always progressing and creating the best learning environment.

We are also committed to building strong partnerships with local businesses and organisations. These relationships provide our students with real-world experiences, insights into various career paths, and a deeper understanding of their role in society. Such connections help prepare our students to become engaged, responsible citizens who contribute positively to their communities.

Whether you are a prospective parent, a member of our school community, or a visitor, I invite you to explore our website to learn more about what makes Telford Park School a place where every student is encouraged to reach their full potential.

Thank you for visiting our website. I look forward to working together to ensure Telford Park School remains a place of learning, growth, and success for all.

Best regards,

Ms A. Huntington
Headteacher, Telford Park School
