Role summary:
The role of Assistant Headteacher - Inclusion (AHTI) is a vital one for the Academy. It is a strategic leadership role where the AHTI leads on significant aspects of the Academy, with others, to ensure it impacts positively on student achievement and other outcomes, the quality of teaching and learning in the classroom, the quality of provision matched to need and the necessary support for students to achieve. The postholder will be expected to network and liaise across the range of external providers, (schools, community and coordinator networks), to ensure a consistency of approach regarding standards, support, transition and high-quality teaching and learning.
We are seeking an inspirational leader who positively influences the behaviour of others, motivating staff and students to engage with the core values of the Academy and the wider Trust. You will be working closely with leaders and staff across the Academy to ensure that systems and procedures are in place to ensure the safety, welfare and wellbeing of all our students.
As AHTI you will lead and contribute to the areas of Inclusion, including the line management of the SEND team and Pathways (a highly successful on-site alternative provision). It is expected that the AHTI will be a qualified SENDCo or have a willingness to complete this qualification in the first two years of appointment. The AHTI is a Child Protection Officer and promotes the safeguarding of children throughout the Academy at every level.

About Crawshaw Academy
Welcome - Thank you for your interest in Crawshaw Academy, part of the Red Kite Learning Trust.
This is an exciting time to be working for the Trust; in joining our school you will play an important role in shaping the future of this rapidly improving academy.
We are a mixed 11-16 Academy with a comprehensive intake; the majority of whom live in the Pudsey Area. The proportion of students supported by the pupil premium is average as is the proportion of students supported at school action plus or with a statement of special educational needs.
To ensure all students have the opportunities to achieve their full potential we have recently restructured our pastoral and curriculum organisation. On the curriculum side we now have an established faculty based structure with Programme Leaders and Assistant Programme Leaders supporting the Faculty Leader in their drive for excellence. We are developing this further in the core areas, introducing Executive Head of Department roles, to further strengthen the leadership of these important areas.

We are looking for staff who have a drive and determination to ensure that our students are given the very best opportunities to succeed. They will be passionate about improving the life chances of our young people and have a clear vision on how to secure improvement.
