Head of PHSE – Inclusion, Wellbeing & Impact, Leeds

Co-op Academy Priesthorpe is seeking an ambitious Head of PHSE to join our team covering Maternity leave.

Our Pedagogy: Excellence through Evidence

At Priesthorpe, we believe in an ambitious, supportive, and inclusive curriculum. To achieve this, we are looking for a leader who can embed high-impact strategies, such as those found in Teach Like a Champion (TLAC).

• Rigour and Inclusion: You will use techniques like No Opt Out and Cold Call to ensure our commitment to inclusion is met, giving every student an equal chance to succeed.
• Positive Climate: Our environment is based on rewards, not sanctions. We expect our Second in Charge to role-model Precise Praise and Strong Voice to maintain our high standards of behaviour while "showing you care".
• Effective Assessment: You will lead the department in Checking for Understanding, ensuring that data and assessment are used effectively to improve learning standards

Our Values: The Co-op Way

We are guided by the Co-op’s ‘Ways of Being’:

• Succeed together: We achieve more through solidarity than as individuals.
• Do what matters most: Focusing on the academic and personal growth of our students.
• Be yourself, always: Celebrating our multicultural community and treating everyone with respect.
• Show you care: Prioritising the well-being of both students and colleagues.

Why Join Us?

We recognise the vital part you play in our success and offer a comprehensive rewards package:

• Well-being First: Dedicated well-being weeks each term (with all meetings cancelled) and a supportive Academy Leadership Team.
• Professional Growth: Fortnightly ‘CRAFT’ sessions focused on your personal and professional development, alongside weekly ‘Community’ sessions with free staff breakfast.
• Co-op Benefits: A Co-op colleague discount card.
• Inclusive Environment: Join a community where pupils are "proud to be members of an inclusive community".

How to Apply

If you share our vision for a learning environment that is both ambitious and inclusive, we would love to hear from you.
