‘Your child is our child’ - Across our family of schools and staff, our unwavering aim remains constant.
‘Excellent Education through Collaboration’ - Across ALP we have an unrelenting drive to achieve the highest possible standards for each one of our children. All staff share best practice, seek opportunities to learn from others and understand that their professional development is fundamental to a child’s success.
The ALP family of schools recognise each school as unique. The schools and their leaders share a Trust wide set of educational principles and then contextualise the principles into a working model to meet the needs of their children. The fundamental challenge of our school leaders is to ensure that the educational offer they provide must be of a standard that they would desire for their own child.
Hummersknott is a successful, inclusive school where we strive to ensure all pupils make progress whilst placing pupils’ personal development at the heart of the school’s ethos, Ofsted 2021.
We have high expectations of our pupils to consistently make positive contributions through promoting responsible, respectful and caring learning habits. This is underpinned by our strong sense of moral purpose and an ambitious curriculum that supports our pupils to achieve academic success as well as to prepare them for life in modern Britain.
Our pupils are encouraged to develop their love of learning and reading through the wide range of opportunities and extra-curricular activities available to them, both within and outside of the classroom.
The Headteacher will:
* Ensure high quality education for all pupils.
* Ensure the key elements of progress and achievement, quality of teaching, behaviour and safety and leadership are all of a very high standard.
* Oversee the smooth operations of this dynamic school ensuring an excellent local reputation and secure pupil recruitment.
* Oversee staffing and resource management to ensure the school is financially secure and operating within budget.
The expectations and standards required for this post are set out in full in the “Headteachers' standards 2020”
