FINHAM PARK 2 SCHOOL

Headteacher

LPS Point 31-35 (£92,597– £102,137)

 

Finham Park Multi Academy Trust is delighted to announce that we are recruiting a Headteacher for Finham Park 2 for September 2023. This is a unique and exciting opportunity for the right candidate to shape the immediate and long-term future for the school, supported by a close-knit community of other Headteachers and colleagues across the Trust.

 

Finham Park 2 School is a smaller than average 11-18 secondary school serving communities in a 1-2 mile radius around the school in Coventry. The school therefore has a comprehensive intake of pupils. Finham Park 2 was judged by Ofsted as ‘Good’ in June 2018, and much progress has been made since the last inspection. The Published Admissions Number (PAN) is 120 with a temporary increase to 150 pupils in 2023 and 2024. There is real potential to grow Sixth Form provision over the next few years as part of a Trust-wide strategy. It is our belief that Finham Park 2 will become a learning community to rival the best on a national and international stage in the future. The successful candidate will lead Finham Park 2 and continue the drive to become a “World Class” school where all students have the times of their lives!

 

We are looking to appoint a charismatic, dynamic individual with exceptional leadership skills, who naturally inspires others and is passionate about teaching and its impact on learning. The successful candidate will be driven by a commitment to create the best possible educational opportunities for our students, in order to raise aspirations and transform lives.

 

Finham Park Multi Academy Trust is seeking a Headteacher who will:

·        be an already experienced and successful leader with the potential to become “World Class”; a willing and capable learner who is able to articulate a vision for the school and who will inspire and empower others to share in achieving it

·        have a determination to consolidate improvement, build on strengths and lead the school to even greater success

·        inspiring positive attitudes and motivating students and staff, ensuring all are valued and supported to be the best they can be

·        be passionate about making a difference for every child

·        have a strong presence, maintaining and developing excellent relationships between staff, governors, parents, students and the wider community

·        be committed to becoming involved at a strategic level in the development and growth of our Multi Academy Trust – unique in it’s ambition to promote co-construction at all levels with the Executive Headteacher/CEO and other colleagues from the Trust and its schools.

 

We welcome enquiries from both serving Headteachers and experienced Deputy Headteachers and are happy to arrange informal, confidential discussions or visits to the School. Should you be interested in either of these options, please contact Leigh Thomson, PA to the Headteacher on 02477 710720 or email l.thomson@finhampark2.co.uk or alternatively Emily Bench, Head of HR on 02477 180000 or email e.bench@finhampark.co.uk

Finham Park 2 is an exciting, innovative, friendly and supportive 11-19 co-educational comprehensive school based on the West side of Coventry near the border of Solihull and close to Warwick University. We opened in September 2015 with 120 students and have grown year on year, including our 6th form, which opened in 2020.  We continue to be heavily oversubscribed each year. In September 2022, we were the most over-subscribed school in Coventry.

Our last Ofsted (November 2023) described Finham Park 2 as a good school in all areas with “a purposeful atmosphere around the school”, “a calm and orderly manner” and a place that “highly considers staff workload which staff are appreciative of”.
