Job Details

Woodhouse Primary Academy is a successful and happy school based at the heart of the local community in Quinton, West Birmingham.  Our academy community is very diverse and closely reflects the demographic population of our local area.  Our heavily over-subscribed, two-form entry academy is fast becoming the school of choice in our local area and currently has 463 children on roll from Nursery to Year 6, including children in our specialist Resource Base for autism.  Our building is well maintained and equipped, and we are blessed with our own substantial Forest school area – Pitts Wood.

We are a highly inclusive and caring school, where every child is given the knowledge, opportunity and support to meet their fullest potential.  Our children are kind, well behaved, thirsty for knowledge and committed to their learning.  Our carefully designed and ambitious knowledge engaged curriculum supports all children to achieve high standards and to progress successfully to the next stage in their education.  Our academy was last inspected by Ofsted in December, 2019 and retained the Good rating awarded in July, 2015 (with Behaviour and Safety graded as Outstanding).  “Since the last inspection, this school has gone from strength to strength. Staff say that new leadership has re-energised the school and raised aspirations. Parents agree. There is a ‘can-do’ attitude across the whole school.  Staff report that leaders genuinely care about their well-being and workload.” (Ofsted, December 2019).

Our academy has a lot to be proud of.  We have a long history of sporting excellence and success in local and regional competition.  We have the Sainsbury’s School Games Platinum award, first achieved in June 2019, after winning the Gold award for the previous 4 years.  Our academy is designated as a Centre of Excellence for inclusion for 2020-2023 through the Inclusion Quality Mark.  We are an artistic and creative school, with Artsmark Gold, with strong links to artistic groups in and out of school.  We are a UNICEF Rights respecting school, awarded Bronze in 2020, and on track to attain Silver later this year.  We hold the skills quality mark, which was last awarded in April 2021.

We have a highly skilled and settled team of dedicated and committed staff.  Woodhouse Primary Academy is proud to be a part of the University of Wolverhampton Multi Academy Trust (UWMAT).  We work closely with our fellow trust schools, sharing expertise, experience, CPD and providing further opportunities for staff development and progression.  We also work closely with the University of Wolverhampton School of Education for initial teacher training and engage fully with research opportunities.  A number of our staff are completing postgraduate study with the University to further their professional development.

We have a rare vacancy for a class teacher to join our high-class staff team due to the relocation of staff member (or first permanent teaching vacancy since 2018).  The role would be suitable for a newly qualified, early career or experienced teacher and is paid on the Main Scale (M1-M6) as appropriate for prior experience.  Skilled mentoring and support would be offered for Early Career Teachers (ECT) on the Early Career Framework.

Job Description

Company

Greenheart Learning Partnership (GLP) is proud to be an academies sponsor.

We are accredited as a sponsor by the DfE in recognition of our drive, expertise and capacity, as well as the experience we bring from a wide variety of backgrounds and sectors.

We operate as a Partnership. We have twelve schools within the Partnership already converted to academies, ten primary and two secondary.

We have many more schools interested in working with us and our aim is to create a Partnership Family of around 20-25 schools. This will establish a network of schools working collaboratively on supportive, rigorous and sustainable approaches to school improvement.

Greenheart is drawing upon our experience and track record of school improvement developed over the last 16 years since the formation of BCCSIP (Black Country Children’s Services Improvement Partnership).  The expertise we developed through running the recent highly successful Black Country Challenge programme also underpins our activity.  We have an excellent knowledge of our locality and a proven track record of making a difference for schools.

Our Approach:

Our structured development and improvement process is built on the results we have achieved in education over the last 15 years. Each academy within the Partnership commits to a core programme, including an initial audit process which helps to build a bespoke action plan to address school performance and improve the life chances of pupils.
