Job overview
Dear prospective applicant,
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 in our Science Faculty. This vacancy has presented itself due to the retirement of the current post holder.
To be successful, you will be smart, hungry and humble. We recruit our staff based on attitude as well as skill and if you possess the right balance, we will support you on your journey to leadership.
We welcome applications from those with an educational background across the private and public sector.
Over the past three years, the school has changed significantly, not only in its performance but also 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 that we stand for and why you would want to join us - https://www.crownhills.com/join-us/
To be successful, you will possess a proven record of providing High Quality lessons and supporting students to make exceptional progress. You will have the passion for science and understand how powerful subject knowledge can change lives.
Our mission is simple, we want every student to be the best that they can be, thrive in the best possible career and contribute positively to society.
This position is pivotal, as it will empower our students to be the scientists and engineers of the future. I truly believe that when leaders lead by staying true to their values, the impossible becomes possible.
You will see from our website that our three key values permeate all that we do and have allowed us to grow from strength to strength:
Aspiration - Be the best you can be
Commitment - Do what it takes for as long as it takes
Success - Be ready to take on the world
We are extremely pleased with the outcomes for our students but we believe that they can achieve even better:
9-7 Subject Progress Index
Biology 67.7% +0.40
Chemistry 77.4% +0.93
Physics 77.4% +0.64
9-7 9-5 9-4 Subject Progress Index
Combined 10.1% 37.8% 56.8% +0.40
As Principal, it has always been my philosophy to grow and nurture new talent so that we create the next generation of leaders, it is something that I have done throughout my career, and this role will support the successful individual on their journey.
If you have high aspirations for children from deprived backgrounds and experience of delivering educational excellence by providing a high quality education for the most vulnerable of students, we would like to hear from you.
If you would like to discuss the role in confidence, please contact me on 07394 821 098.
Deadline for applicants is 9am on Friday 10th September 2021 to jamey@crownhills.leicester.sch.uk

Mr F Adam

Our aim has always been to make Crown Hills Community College one of the best schools to attend as a child and to work in as a member of staff.
The last few years have been amazing for our college community, as we have started to gain external recognition for the way we are doing things; from being shortlisted twice for the TES well-being school of the year in 2022 and 2023, to being one of five schools to win the Silver Award for the Pearson's secondary school of the year.
Every decision that we take is done with a lot of thought and consideration and we put well-being at the centre, so that teachers can teach and students can learn.
Therefore, we are not a college that is driven by OFSTED and whether we are GOOD or OUTSTANDING but we do things because they are at the very essence of helping our children and school community to be the best that they can be.
We have nearly 200 staff and 1500 students. Our mission is simple, we want every student to be the best that they can be, thrive in the best possible career and contribute positively to society.
We are very clear that the gender, background, colour, financial 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 are well oversubscribed, even though we have increased our PAN from 240 to 300 pupils, we have more applicants than we have spaces. Our P8 score has also increased year on year and we have fluctuated between the top 12% and 20% of schools nationally. We are particularly proud that our PP pupils achieved a score of +0.17 in 2023.
