Further Information
There is an exciting opportunity to join Northumberland Pupil Referral Unit (PAN 40), at a time of change and development. Northumberland Pupil Referral unit was judged to be a Good establishment in March 2019 and the Management Committee are looking to move to a Key Stage 3 and 4 Provision from January 2023, with developed buildings, curriculum and offer.
The successful candidate will lead on Quality of Education across the school and support the newly appointed Head Teacher in the development of the Pupil Referral Unit provision within Northumberland at Key Stages 3 and 4.
The Management Committee have recently appointed a new Head Teacher, who will take up their role in September 2022, and this is an ideal opportunity to be appointed to support the developments in the newly formed Leadership Team developing the Pupil Referral Unit offer.
From September 2022, the Northumberland Pupil Referral Unit will support students in Key Stage 3 who are permanently excluded from school or who need a short stay support package to return to mainstream schooling. From January 2023, Key Stage 4 students will join the provision. A new curriculum offer needs to be designed and developed and this will be part of the role of the new Assistant Head Teacher, working closely with the Head Teacher.
Our vision is to provide a high quality educational and therapeutic community, which offers life-changing opportunities in preparation for adulthood, within a safe, creative and exciting environment. All students have their Learning, Social and Community Capital baselined, with an ambitious structured personalised programme to close gaps in academic and social norms, ensuring that all students are ready for the next stage in their lives.
Applications are invited from outstanding support practitioners who can demonstrate outstanding relationships and outcomes across Key Stages 3 and 4. There is a teaching element to this role, therefore we are looking for outstanding practitioners (ideally within a core subject of English, Maths or Science) to model and coach the present teaching staff and lead CPD. You must also be able to demonstrate recent, successful impact within your current role.
The successful applicants will benefit from significant support from our Head Teacher and Management Committee. A personalised CPD package will be provided to support your transition into the school.
