Thank you for taking the time to read about this role and our school. CHCC is in the top 12% of schools nationally and blends a 70-year history of inclusive education with an innovative, forward-looking approach to providing a state education like no other to 1500 students from inner city backgrounds.
The School now seeks to appoint a motivated member of staff to join the inclusion team; the successful candidate will join a high-performing Pastoral Team. We believe in simple rules and expectations and that is why we expect children to respond ‘first time, every time’ – this role will support to strengthen this culture.
Responsibilities
* Work with the pastoral team to support challenging behavioural, learning difficulties and foster the participation of students in the social and academic aspects of college life.
* Primarily be involved with running either a behaviour support base for on calls, or an internal seclusion room or a combination of the two.
* Be involved in various duties throughout the day including gate and lunch duties. They will work alongside the other members of the team that will include Assistant Head of Years, Heads of Year and Inclusion Support Workers.
This is a fantastic career opportunity for a highly motivated professional to join a school on an exciting journey. Crown Hills Community College is an exhilarating and innovative school that produces exceptional progress for its learners and will make a significant contribution to the lives and opportunities of our families.
Over the past few years, the school 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 that we stand for and why you would want to join us.
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, we have decided that ASPIRATION, COMMITMENT and SUCCESS are the three key drivers that will support the development of our pupils.
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.
