Ivy Education Trust is seeking an outstanding individual with drive, passion, enthusiasm and ambition to lead our Performing Arts department in the next stage of its development. This is an opportunity for an inspirational leader who has strong subject knowledge of music and drama (with music specialism) and who is an outstanding and experienced classroom practitioner across KS3 to KS5 to take our department and student outcomes to the next level.
You will have excellent organisational, planning and communication skills and have high expectations of all students to secure the best outcomes. You believe that all students are capable of success and recognise that success comes in different forms. Driving forward strategic priorities, you will ensure there is a robust curriculum and assessment framework in place underpinned by a key focus on developing, promoting and championing the Arts across the school.
As a leader, you are inspirational, forward thinking and put students at the heart of everything you do. You are creative, dynamic, empathetic and have a natural ability to lead and empower both students and staff. You hold the highest expectations of yourself, your staff and your students and recognise the importance of the curriculum both inside and outside the classroom, and are innovative in your commitment to both, ensuring that the Arts are always high profile within the school.
Performing Arts plays a critical role in the whole school curriculum and wider opportunities at Teignmouth Community School. The department prides itself in creating an environment where students' passion and drive for the Arts are fostered through engaging and challenging lessons, but also the opportunities for students to perform and develop their skills.
The Ivy Education Trust works closely with all schools within the Trust and beyond. The Ivy Education Trust celebrates the diversity of each of its schools and is founded upon the alignment of vision and values that we all commonly hold to secure the best outcomes for our pupils.
The Ivy Education Trust is committed to providing a broad, balanced and ambitious curriculum in all its schools, so all children and young people develop the character and qualifications needed to open doors to their future success. A strong focus on developing and providing inspirational teaching and leadership in all schools, through school-to-school improvement, ensures outstanding progress and educational enjoyment for all members of the partnership’s community.
The unique character of each school is celebrated and nurtured to ensure choice and variety in educational provision. The Trust is determined that all children should be able to attend a good or better school regardless of where they live.
Our mission is to improve life chances for every child and young person we serve, through broadening their opportunities and enabling them to reach their full potential. We support all members of our learning community to dream big, aim high and achieve more than they ever thought was possible. If you share these visions and aspirations, then we very much welcome your application for this post.
