QA OPERATIVE

Salary: L6 - L10 (£50,122 to £55,699) The federated governing body of St Edmund’s and St Patrick’s Catholic Primary Schools are seeking to appoint an assistant headteacher to join our hardworking and dedicated leadership team. Both schools are currently a one form entry primary school, working together as federated schools. However, following a proposal by the governing body and the local authority the decision has been made to amalgamate the two schools into a single two-form entry split site primary school. Therefore, from September 2023, the schools will merge to form a two-form entry primary school with the current St Edmund’s site being the infant site and the current St Patrick’s site being the junior site. We are seeking an Assistant headteacher, who has a proven track record in EYFS and KS1 to strengthen the leadership and management team in school from 2023; the role may carry a part-time teaching commitment.

We need someone who is strategic, writes and keeps plans within budget and is at times prepared to ‘get’ dirty to ensure the job gets done. In my opinion the strategic vision needs to occur in the following areas: • Financial oversight – of salary costs/savings, a plan for IT/site development that is transparent, considered, costed and above all, balanced, realistic and represents effective use of public funds. Site development/maintenance needs to be coordinated and planned. An audit of the extensive stored stock, a painting programme, a consideration of our ‘flat roofs’, guttering maintenance has to be ongoing with consideration of how we can save money through installing solar panels and LED installation. Meet the needs of health and safety and the laws that are required in running a twenty first century school. A programme of PAT testing, fire risk assessment/practice, water/electrical management etc are the basic requirements. Create funding either by site letting, challenging contracts or by being successful in external bidding.

About Owlcotes Multi-Academy Trust Owlcotes is a Leeds based Multi-Academy Trust specialising in primary education. We believe that each school that joins us brings something unique and important to the Trust, which benefits all other schools within the MAT. We put children at the heart of everything we do and aim to ensure that all children within the Trust have access to ambitious learning opportunities and experiences not only within their own school but also in partnership with other schools in our trust. We focus on providing the highest quality of education for all our pupils so that our schools are places of excellence, meeting the needs of our diverse communities.

We value all qualities in the children that we teach and the communities that we serve. We firmly believe in schools having their own individuality, underpinned by a common purpose and Owlcotes’ principles. We have a network of collaborative learning communities across the Trust, and we work to develop and share good practice within our philosophy of ‘Working Together to Achieve Excellence’.
