GENERAL INFORMATION:
As the only 11-16 all-boys academy in Sefton, Birkdale High School aims to be a beacon for outstanding practice in the education of boys and be the school of choice for all boys in the Southport community and beyond. We passionately believe that a single-sex setting at this particular stage of a boy’s education is the ideal environment for them to grow in confidence, close the attainment gap with girls and develop their love of learning. Our boys are able to mature at their own pace, supported and challenged by staff who are experts in teaching boys, and surrounded by peers to whom they can closely relate.
Our vision is driven by the strong moral imperative that it is our mission to provide all our boys with a first class education, outstanding outcomes and better life chances. We seek to challenge stereotypes, we are ambitious for every boy we teach and we want to see a society that benefits from the contributions of our well-educated, well-rounded and empowered young men.
We believe that every child, regardless of their background, should be able to fulfil their academic potential and go on to thrive amongst the demands and expectations of life in modern Britain and beyond. The school’s motto is “Aspire – Thrive – Succeed” and underpins its ethos and approach.
We aim to engage, support, stretch and challenge all boys by providing them with a range of exciting opportunities; a varied and purposeful curriculum and a strong set of core values, demanding of all its students the highest standards in all they undertake whilst supporting them in the fulfilment of their personal and academic potential.
We are proud of our academic achievements and the examinations success of our boys over the years. These achievements would not be possible without our talented and dedicated staff, who work tirelessly to engage and challenge each and every student, or without the hard work of the boys and the support of their parents and carers.
We also have a sporting record that is second to none amongst the local schools, whether on the track, the field or the court. We regularly top the local league tables and enjoy success at regional and national level too.
We strive to be an inclusive school, an outward facing centre of academic, professional and personal achievement, prepared to lead, learn from and collaborate with all available partners in the pursuit of excellence for our pupils and staff.
You would be joining the Southport Learning Trust, a family of nine schools which includes six secondary, two primary and one special school in the locality where you would gain support from a wider group of senior leaders. Schools in our Trust include Birkdale High School, Bedford Primary School, Greenbank High School, Kew Woods Primary School, Maghull High School, Meols Cop High School, Range High School and Stanley High School.

Overall Job Purpose:

The job is based at the Civic Centre in Littlehampton, and this will be your contractual job location. However, it is likely there will be some working from home and so will need an appropriate space to work from.
We love to invest in our people, providing the opportunity for professional development and&nbsp;fulfilment. Work life balance is encouraged, and we enjoy a variety of flexible working&nbsp;arrangements.&nbsp;Please see <a href="https://www.arun.gov.uk/why-work-for-arun" target="_blank">Why work for Arun</a> for more information on what Arun offers their employees.
