Our financial planning and processes are supported by the Trust finance team, led by Gwyneth Evans our Director of Finance.

Appointment to this post comes at an exciting time for the school and it is the perfect time for a new Headteacher. The school has had a challenging period, where results dropped, and a poor Ofsted followed. The last two years, however, has seen steady gains in results, alongside significant and sustained improvements in attendance, and behaviour indicators. This has been achieved through determined and targeted work by the leadership team (supported by the Trust), bringing improvements in leadership across all areas, and significant positive developments in classroom practice.

These improvements, carried out across two years, meant that the school was judged ‘Good’ in July this year. The school community is rightly proud of the improvements made and they also know that the school improvement journey for the school continues. There is an appetite to continue to make improvements and a very positive mood in the school. There is a determination that pupils will gain a truly great education, with outcomes that reflect this. The new Headteacher will be able to build on the current trajectory and have a strong foundation to take the school forward further still.

Providence Learning Partnership (initially through Durham Sixth Form Centre) aims to become a centre of excellence for the teaching and learning of mathematics, and to provide opportunities for students with an interest and aptitude for mathematics, especially to those from backgrounds currently under‐represented in the mathematical sciences.

The Trust works with students and teachers in other schools to promote deeper understanding and greater enjoyment of mathematics as well as supporting students to achieve higher attainment in their GCSE, leading to greater participation in mathematics at advanced levels, A‐level.

This leadership post is an opportunity for a knowledgeable and passionate educationalist who has experience of working in a school to take on a broad ranging role which has the potential for signiﬁcant impact on young people with an enthusiasm for mathematics.

The post is full‐time, though applicants wishing to work part‐time will be considered. The expectation is that the successful candidate will teach mathematics at Durham Sixth Form Centre.

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.
