Brownlow Fold Primary School is a larger than average primary school situated in an area of deprivation in the Halliwell Ward of Bolton. Our school is over-subscribed, popular, and well-regarded, with a strong partnership between parents/carers, pupils, staff, governors, and the local community. Our vision, core aims, and values emphasise this collaboration, which is reflected in our mission statement: "Together We Fly". The Headteacher and Governors of this popular school wish to appoint a strong, inspirational and transformational leader to support the headteacher and staff to inspire future generations. A typical school day may require you as a leader to move from decision maker to teammate, to coach, to teacher, to problem solver, navigating through a range of roles as each demand arises. An ability to shift and adjust leadership approach based on what is needed in school on any given day will be an integral component of the deputy head teacher role. Learning at Brownlow Fold encompasses helping our children to develop their interests and abilities, providing valuable learning experiences both inside and outside the classroom. Our ethos is characterised by high expectations and aspirations for all. We are committed to achieving high standards for all pupils in order that they can attain the highest levels of achievement and personal development. A school leader s role continues to increase in complexity with reviews of current curriculum and assessment models, changes to the Ofsted inspection toolkits, community-wide approaches to improving inclusivity and SEND provision and reduced budgets to name but a few. This position is a great opportunity for a leader who loves a challenge and wants to further their career and be an integral part of refining current practice so that the governments proposed changes are successfully implemented.
