BORDESLEY GREEN PRIMARY SCHOOL, Marchmont Road, Birmingham, B9 5XX

Telephone Number: 0121 772 9432, Email Address: l.knowles@blakesley.bham.sch.uk

Start Date: 01.09.2019

We are offering a unique opportunity for an experienced and high performing Senior Leader who is ideally suited to working in a forward-thinking, fast changing environment. Our school is situated in the area of East

Birmingham. This opportunity has arisen due to the retirement of the existing Headteacher and Deputy Head Teacher at the end of the Summer Term 2019

As the operational head of the school you will have the responsibility for the day-to-day leadership. You will have a proven track-record of raising pupil achievement. You will understand the importance of internal communications systems and manage performance data expertly, you will be able to demonstrate your ability to motivate staff and hold them to account. You will have an excellent understanding of high quality teaching and be able to provide leadership, guidance and inspiration for the whole school community.

For the first two years you will benefit from the support and guidance of the Executive Head Teacher (Bordesley Green and Blakesley Hall Primary Schools). Both schools are and will remain separate local authority maintained schools.

You will receive a personalised programme of training, mentoring and coaching with the knowledge that after two years you will have developed the high quality knowledge and experience required to confidently take on the full range of strategic and operational aspects of Headship, without the Executive Head Teacher.

You will have the immediate benefits of working within a strong consortium group, an exciting teaching collaboration of schools and a well-established network of leadership support from upon which you will be able to draw and learn from.

This is an exciting opportunity for the right leader to grow into the role and be central to securing the on-going success and future improvement of the school. It is anticipated that the successful candidate will be instrumental in recruiting and appointing a Deputy Head Teacher in the Summer Term.

The Council is a fantastic place to work. You will find an organisation that is both challenging and supportive; with a leadership impatiently adventurous in its pursuit of excellence. 

There is a clear vision which is ensuring that the Council is working for communities today and building for tomorrow, we focus our resources on five key priorities:

  • A Prosperous Birmingham: through a focus on inclusive economic growth, tackling unemployment, attracting inward investment, and maximising the benefits of the Commonwealth Games.
  • An Inclusive Birmingham: through a focus on tackling poverty and inequality, empowering citizens, promoting diversity and civic pride, and supporting and enabling all children and young people to thrive.
  • A Safe Birmingham: through a focus on making the city safer, safeguarding vulnerable citizens, increasing affordable housing, and tackling homelessness.
  • A Healthy Birmingham: through a focus on tackling health inequalities, encouraging physical activity and healthy living, supporting mental health, and improving outcomes for adults with disabilities and older people.
  • A Green Birmingham: through a focus on street cleanliness, improving air quality, continuing the route to net zero, and becoming a city of nature.

We see the Council’s role as providing strategic leadership – that’s being able to visualise a new future for the city and equipping others to share our vision. We want to ensure the provision of services for all, so we can support those least able to support themselves by working with partners and putting citizens and neighbourhoods at the heart of our decision-making.

We are always looking for people who put the customer at the centre of their approach, with a commitment to excellence to help us achieve our vision.  We will support you to develop and thrive in your role, building a pathway for long-term success, with lots of development opportunities, such as apprenticeships.
