Job overview
This is a key role to lead the school’s curriculum strategy with the Headteacher and ensure that its implementation results in the highest quality outcomes for the children we serve.
Our curriculum strategy is at the very heart of our school – strategically and in our day-to-day operations.
In considering this post, it is essential that you are signed up to this strategy and in applying for the role (and if appointed) you are committed to working with the Headteacher and senior leadership team implementing it.
Our school’s ambition is not rooted in what an inspection framework is looking for, but comes from our underpinning Christian principles of caring, learning and succeeding so that every child regardless of their background or context will flourish, thrive and succeed in their time with us.
However, it is a reflection of our approach and commitment to excellence that our recent inspection (March 2021) recognises the strength of our vision, ambition, curriculum and leadership as a team. We do all that we do ‘through the lens of the child’.
The conditions are ripe for our school to be exceptional and I am looking for a further member of my committed and cohesive senior leadership team to help us realise our ambition for our school community.
You will either be an existing senior leader aligned to our ambitions and thinking with a desire to make selfless impact in our setting. Or you may be an experienced middle leader with a proven track record in delivering outcomes over time in a subject and have a secure understanding of planning and implementing curriculum change in and across subjects.
If you are interested in the role and committed to our Christian mission, educational aims and values we look forward to receiving your application.

Lowton Church of England High School is a community where we are passionate about equipping young people to make a positive difference in the world. We are a vibrant and inclusive 11-16 comprehensive school of around 780 students, with an established reputation as a welcoming and forward-thinking learning community.
The Governors and staff of Lowton Church of England High School are committed to the provision of a high quality education in a Christian context. We aim to provide a school where we can live out our ethos of Caring, Learning and Succeeding on a daily basis and let our light shine. At the heart of the commitment is the notion of the uniqueness and infinite worth of the individual, that every person is valuable in the eyes of God and that they are, indeed, the light of the world.
Kieran Larkin joined in September 2020, with extensive Headship and school improvement experience, and has set about clarifying a mission-led, values-led ambitious curriculum vision that defines all that we want for our students.
Our ambition is not rooted in what an inspection framework is looking for, but comes from our underpinning Christian principles of caring, learning and succeeding so that every child regardless of their background or context will flourish, thrive and succeed in their time with us.
However, it is a reflection of our approach and commitment to excellence that our recent inspection - March 2023 - graded us 'Good' in all areas and recognised the strength of our vision, ambition, curriculum and leadership as a team. We do all that we do ‘through the lens of the child’.
We are a school on a mission – a Christian mission as well as an educational one. In fact, it is our firm belief that the combination of the two will have a transforming effect on the life of each child.
