We are looking for a Deputy Headteacher to join our senior leadership team to secure outstanding outcomes for all pupils at Allens Croft Nursery School. We pride ourselves on our creative and holistic approach to pre-nursery and nursery education. Our approach empowers children to make their own choices and helps them to be self-motivated individuals.
Allens Croft Nursery School is clustered with Shenley Fields Nursery School, both settings sharing an Executive Headteacher. Cluster leaders work collaboratively to provide high standards of leadership across the 2 schools as well as the day to day leadership of a single school. The Deputy Headteacher will promote and support the vision and direction of the Federation of Maintained Nursery School.
The Birmingham Federation of Maintained Nursery schools is made up of 9 Local Authority Maintained Nursery Schools delivering inclusive high-quality early education and care to children aged 0-5 years across Birmingham.
We have a vibrant and enthusiastic staff of qualified teachers, teaching assistants, nursery officers, play workers, administrators and other support staff who make up our large team.
As well as exceptional and inclusive provision for children and families, we are committed to professional development, and provide opportunities for learning and collaboration across the cluster of 2 schools and the wider Federation.
Our settings are culturally diverse with a large number of languages spoken. We have a reputation for supporting children with a range of complex special educational needs and disabilities, as well as support for families who may have additional challenges in their lives.
Early Years education is undergoing ongoing change and challenge so applicants need to not only be an outstanding teacher and leader but also flexible, resilient and able to contribute innovative ideas.
If you are interested in this challenge, with the support of both an experienced team of leaders across the Federation and an experienced team of staff at Allens Croft Nursery School, we would like to hear from you. Visits to the school are most welcome with prior arrangement.
