We understand that children entering our homes often come from backgrounds of significant adversity, and our approach is rooted in creating a stable, nurturing environment that prioritises healing and emotional safety.

Our team of care workers, supported by dedicated therapeutic staff, work collaboratively with external professionals to facilitate this reunification process, ensuring that parents or guardians are supported and equipped to provide a secure and loving home environment. In cases where reunification is not immediately possible, we carefully prepare young people for foster care, working at their pace to develop trust, resilience, and the skills needed to transition successfully into a family setting.

DEPUTY HEAD TEACHER Salary: L11– L15 £60,486 - £66,627 (National pay award pending) Required: January 2025 or prepared to wait for the right candidate.

About the Trust The Trust was established in 2015 and provides education and enrichment activities to more than 1100 children across five Academies, located in Middlesbrough and Redcar and Cleveland local authority areas. Academies within the Trust are: • Brambles Primary Academy (3 to 11 years), • Discovery Special Academy (2 to 16 years), • Dormanstown Primary Academy (3 to 11 years), • Pennyman Primary Academy (2 to 11 years), and • Wilton Primary Academy (3 to 11 years).

About the role we are looking to appoint: The Deputy Head Teacher for Standards and Curriculum at Pennyman Primary Academy will play a pivotal role in not just maintaining, but continually raising educational standards and evolving the curriculum to meet the changing needs of our pupils. As an academy committed to excellence, Pennyman seeks a leader capable of driving improvement across all levels of teaching, learning, and assessment.

Pennyman Primary Academy is an inclusive learning community that educates 410 pupils, from two-year-olds through to Year 6. It is a larger than average school with a designated unit for children with complex physical and medical needs, which places additional emphasis on the importance of adaptable and progressive teaching strategies. To address these diverse needs, the Deputy Head will collaborate with the Headteacher and other senior leaders to ensure that the curriculum remains inclusive, dynamic, and engaging for all students, regardless of their abilities or learning needs.

In terms of raising standards, the successful candidate will focus on improving the quality of teaching and learning by implementing best practices, supporting teachers through coaching and mentoring, and ensuring that assessment methods accurately reflect children’s progress. This role is critical in maintaining the high expectations set by the academy, with Ofsted (2023) recognising that “pupils know implicitly how to behave and how to interact positively with each other and with staff” due to the school’s inclusive and supportive ethos.

The curriculum development aspect of the role requires the Deputy Head to be innovative and forward-thinking. The curriculum at Pennyman is designed to be broad and balanced, ensuring that children not only achieve academic success but also develop the social, emotional, and physical skills they need for life beyond school. The Deputy Head will work with subject leaders to constantly review and refine curriculum content, ensuring it is aligned with both national standards and the specific needs of the Pennyman community. This includes adapting learning strategies to support children with special educational needs, as well as stretching more able pupils to achieve their full potential.

Furthermore, the Deputy Head will be instrumental in data-driven decision making, using assessment data to identify areas where children may be underperforming and developing interventions to address these gaps. A focus on continual professional development (CPD) is also key to this role, providing staff with the necessary tools and training to meet ambitious performance targets, and equipping them with the skills to deliver a curriculum that fosters deep learning and sustained improvement.
