The role
Worsborough Bank End is a one form entry primary school for children aged three to eleven years and is a school full of potential. Its recent Ofsted inspection confirmed that it is a securely good school with a great sense of community that places families at the heart of all it does. This post will provide an exciting opportunity for a Headteacher who wants to make a real difference to the local community.
As Principal you will have the opportunity to lead the school on its continued journey of improvement, ensuring they provide children with an inspirational learning environment and the very best opportunities right through their education. To support you to drive improvements you will have access to the support and resources of United Learning, including educational expertise, specialist finance, HR and technology business partners.
About You
We are looking for a senior leader, who believes that extraordinary academic success is possible and can draw together a team that delivers it. As a confident leader you will have the ability to motivate others and command respect in staff and pupils alike. The school needs a leader with a clear vision, an understanding of the local community and the focus to drive forward improvement at the school.
United Learning
Worsborough Bank End Primary School is part of United Learning, a large, and growing, group of schools aiming to offer a life changing education to children and young people across England.
Our schools work as a team and achieve more by sharing than any single school could. Our subject specialists, our Group-wide intranet, our own curriculum and our online learning portal all help us share knowledge and resource, helping to simplify work processes and manage workloads for an improved work-life balance.
As a Group, we can reward our staff better: with good career opportunities, better pay, benefits, and ultimately, the satisfaction of helping children to succeed. We invest in our staff wellbeing. Our academies each have at least eight INSET days per year (with three of those solely dedicated to planning), and an ongoing group-wide wellbeing programme. It's an ethos we call ‘the best in everyone’.
We are working hard to become a more diverse organisation – which is key to our commitment to bringing out the best in everyone. We welcome applications from everyone committed to this ethos and would particularly welcome applications from black and minority ethnic candidates, who are currently under-represented in the Group as a whole. We always appoint on merit. We are open to discussing flexible working options.
To arrange an informal discussion about the role or a visit to the school, please contact Tanya Hughes, Regional Director via email tanya.hughes@unitedlearning.org.uk.

General Information
Worsbrough Bank End Primary School services the wider community of Worsbrough and Kendray, an area of mostly social housing located approximately one mile to the east of Barnsley town centre. Historically a community living with the long term effects of high levels of unemployment, lack of community confidence and low educational attainment, the community is now starting to turn a corner with decreasing levels of crime, investment in social housing and increasing local opportunities for engaging with the communities.
Ethos
This is a very caring and supportive school providing a safe, secure environment. We are dedicated to raising confidence and self esteem in all our pupils. We set high expectations for both learning and behaviour and provide appropriate support to achieve those aims.
Our Youngsters are well mannered, polite and respectful and generally behave well. The whole staff team work together to challenge, motivate and enthuse our children to value education and prepare them for adult life.
Teaching and Learning
All staff are committed to providing high quality teaching and learning, they approach new initiatives with enthusiasm drive and commitment and continually strive to raise standards.
Over the last four years staff have worked hard to develop teaching and learning, which has resulted in the school adopting accelerated learning techniques, mind mapping and social and emotional development. The curriculum has been changed to meet the needs of our pupils and break down the barriers to learning. Staff work hard to impact on pupil achievement.
Parents and Community
The school encourages parent and community involvement at all levels and this continues to be an area of development, since parents, although they engage with school, can be reluctant to be involved in their childrens learning.
Work is well underway to address the Every Child Matters agenda and the leadership team is working hard to plan and develop the extended schools agenda in order that the community receive all support mechanisms they require, some of the agencies involved in this development are, Sure Start, Social Services, School Health, The Stairfoot and Worsbrough Locality Well Being Team, YMCA, PCT, LPT and United Learning Trust.
