Job overview
We are looking for female educators who are ambitious and keen to break down the barriers that can often arise when looking to undertake leadership roles. This course is different to an NPQ. Whilst it will be grounded in research and evidence surrounding women in leadership, it will also provide opportunities to share common experiences, build confidence and look at strategies to overcome issues that many women face today in educational leadership.
The course is open to all middle and senior leaders or those aspiring to take their next steps. We want leadership to be a greater reflection of the teaching profession as a whole. Currently, there are more women in teaching but they continue to be underrepresented in leadership roles.
This course aims to explore and challenge this as well as create strong networks within the profession. As you read this, are you thinking I agree, I want to change and challenge the landscape? I am ready to take the next step, a step towards equality, a step to lead the way.
The course is aimed at aspiring leaders looking to take their next steps in leadership. The course will begin with a two-day conference in the Autumn term with keynote speaker Carly Waterman, Director of ECF Delivery for Ambition Institute, as well as hearing from women leaders across the county and beyond. This will then be followed by seminars and coaching sessions held throughout the year.
Key course themes:
- Being Beyond the Exception
- Smashing the Stereotypes
- Feeling vs Being
- Raising our Voices
- Leading the Way
- Building each other up
What is included?

Our aim has always been to make Crown Hills Community College one of the best schools to attend as a child and to work in as a member of staff.
The last few years have been amazing for our college community, as we have started to gain external recognition for the way we are doing things; from being shortlisted twice for the TES well-being school of the year in 2022 and 2023, to being one of five schools to win the Silver Award for the Pearson's secondary school of the year.
Every decision that we take is done with a lot of thought and consideration and we put well-being at the centre, so that teachers can teach and students can learn.
Therefore, we are not a college that is driven by OFSTED and whether we are GOOD or OUTSTANDING but we do things because they are at the very essence of helping our children and school community to be the best that they can be.
We have nearly 200 staff and 1500 students. Our mission is simple, we want every student to be the best that they can be, thrive in the best possible career and contribute positively to society.
We are very clear that the gender, background, colour, financial or social status of a child should have no bearing on how well they perform and staff here work extremely hard in trying to close that gap between the different groups of pupils.
We are well oversubscribed, even though we have increased our PAN from 240 to 300 pupils, we have more applicants than we have spaces. Our P8 score has also increased year on year and we have fluctuated between the top 12% and 20% of schools nationally. We are particularly proud that our PP pupils achieved a score of +0.17 in 2023.
