Dear prospective applicant, 

Thank you for expressing an interest in this key vacancy at our college. 

This is an extremely strange time for us all and even stranger to be recruiting for such an important post but due to the promotion of the current post holder the situation is thus and we are looking for someone to support us on our journey to becoming a great college.

In the top 12% of schools nationally, Crown Hills Community College blends a 70-year history of inclusive education with an innovative, forward-looking approach to providing a state education like no other to 1,500 students from inner city backgrounds.

The School now seeks to appoint an exceptional individual to work alongside two other inclusion support workers, one behaviour steward, five heads of year and five assistant heads of year, who together comprise the pastoral team. The pastoral team is involved in all areas of school life but this role will specifically be dealing with behaviour and those students on the periphery that require clear boundaries to re-engage with their learning. This is, therefore, an exciting opportunity to play an integral role in developing the School’s vision and for enhancing the quality of education for our students.

To be successful, the appointee will possess a proven track record of dealing with difficult children from different backgrounds and providing them with clear boundaries so that they can re-engage with their education.  Candidates will be assessed on their understanding of safeguarding and management of behaviour as we will their ability to function as part of a team.  

How we lead is as important as the direction we are taking staff in. We have 200 staff and 1500 students, so your ability to work with different groups of people in a dynamic environment is paramount and a key part of the role.

Over the past three years the college has changed significantly not only in its performance but in the way it operates. We are not interested in the OFSTED grade or judgement and it is not something that we use to 

threaten staff with nor do we use it to set policy. We do what is best for the staff and the students underpinned by a set of clear values and we trust that everything else will take care of itself. I would therefore urge you to visit us and to look at our website and the video about what it is we stand for and why you would want to join us - https://www.crownhills.com/join-us/

The College has been serving the community since 1950 and continues to be a Good school after last being inspected in May 2019, where were on the cusp of being outstanding.

I want us to be at the forefront of educational excellence because we want to provide the best educational experience possible for the children in our care.  This is extremely difficult in a climate of ever increasing accountability and diminishing resources. However, I sincerely believe that if we lead this community by staying true to our values then it is possible.

I have therefore spent time with staff and exploring what it is we stand for and after a school wide consultation have decided that ASPIRATION, COMMITMENT AND SUCCESS are the three key drivers that will support the development of our pupils. 

The successful candidate must be able to build on the faculty’s relative successes and move it forward. In doing so, you will be able to draw on the expertise and support of Senior Leaders, other Middle Leaders and various colleagues across the school and use its state-of-the-art facilities to effect the necessary changes which we will empower you to make.

Further information about the college’s aims and values can be found on our website at www.crownhills.com.  We expect applicants to be committed to equal opportunities, multi-cultural education and team-working.  

The successful candidate will not be given a tutorial role but we expect all staff to help students in their wider social and personal education. The successful candidate will be linked to a specific year group to support student achievement.  Crown Hills has a strong commitment to C.P.D.  This is an excellent place in which to further a career in leadership.

We are very clear that the gender, background, colour, poverty, wealth or social status of a child should have no bearing on how well they perform and staff here work extremely hard in trying to close that gap between the different groups of pupils. 

We want to build a learning community that is built on trust and continuous professional development. 

If you have high aspirations for children from deprived backgrounds and want to support the leadership of excellence by improving pupil outcomes, then we would love to hear from you. 

Please read the attached job description and person specification.  If you are interested in applying, please fill in the application form available on our website: www.crownhills.com, please include e-mail addresses of all referees, and e-mail it together with a letter of application (no more than 2 sides of A4, font 12) outlining your skills, qualifications and experience relevant to this post to jamey@crownhills.leicester.sch.uk by 9am on Monday 24th  August 2020. 

Interview dates TBC

Should you wish to visit the College please contact my PA Jo Amey by email jamey@crownhills.leicester.sch.uk

I look forward to meeting you and receiving your application.

Yours sincerely, 

F Adam

Principal
