Job overview
The Advance Learning Partnership (ALP) is guided by a shared set of values, embodied in the ethos:
‘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:
The Trust has established robust structures to support continuous leadership development, ensuring the highest educational standards are met. Collaborative networks across all subjects and themes are woven into our daily practice. ALP's approach is deeply rooted in evidence-based research and involves extensive collaboration with local, regional, and national educational bodies.
The Trust has a cohesive, centralised structure, consisting of a School Improvement Team, a Children’s and Civic Services Team and a School Support Team. The School Support Team enables school leaders to maintain their focus on children and education, with specialists providing the security and foundations for the educational provision, whilst the School Improvement Team support, develop, and evaluate the schools and their leaders to ensure the life chances of every child are realised. The Children's and Civic Services Team creates a flexible educational framework, tailored to each child's unique circumstances, ensuring that all pupils—regardless of their challenges—thrive, achieve and are well-prepared for life beyond school.
In the coming years the Trust seeks to serve all educational pathways with professionalism, investment and shared ethical values. This will ensure the children within our care are successful and safe regardless of the challenges they may face in education and society. We have a proven record of accomplishment in delivering academic improvement. We are enormously proud of our schools, leaders, governors, teachers and support staff who serve the children so well. It is a privilege to work alongside so many dedicated and highly skilled peers who change lives each and every day.
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”.

Advance Learning Partnership is a not-for-profit Multi Academy Trust consisting of a mix of primary and secondary academies. We have developed our educational blueprint from the original school at Parkside Academy and used this to enhance the education provision in all of our schools, having a transformational effect on children’s life chances.
All academies within our Trust collaborate as a ‘family of schools’. The Trust as a whole is not a separate body or group of people, but rather one single organisation made up of all our academies with one single vision and shared set of values.
We work together to ensure that all children, irrespective of their starting point, receive an excellent education. We pride ourselves in meeting the needs of the children in our care, including those who are most vulnerable or challenging. These groups of students are a major priority and we work closely with parents/carers in helping to raise their child’s self-esteem, resilience and subsequent achievement and attainment.
