LEAD PRACTITIONER – Modern Foreign Languages

We are seeking individuals to join the Central RSA Academies School Improvement Team. As RSA Academies, we aim to develop exceptional learners by developing outstanding
professionals. Our vision is to ensure social justice through exceptional schools.

We believe in potential as much as experience. You will be a great teacher; you don’t have to have done it for many years to be a strong fit for this role!

Led by our School Improvement Leader, you will use your passion, expertise and subject knowledge in Modern Foreign Languages to drive forward the quality of teaching andlearning across all our Academies, working in secondary ages 11-19. Close liaison with Primary colleagues through our Co-design subject networks will be integral to the role, and you will take a lead role in our Modern Foreign Languages Co-Design Subject Team. Regular travel between our schools and our base and training facility in The Assay Studios, in the Jewellery Quarter, is essential as you will be required to work with our leaders and teachers, modelling best practice through teaching, as well as coaching and leading others to ensure we all achieve the same successes. You will have a base school and, in the first instance and to support your induction, the majority of your week will be based in one hub, where you will be expected to teach. You will have the opportunity to become a Specialist Leader of Education, if you are not already, as part of the RSAA Teaching School Alliance, to support school improvement within and beyond RSA Academies.

Are you enthusiastic about education and offering the best life chances to young people?  

If so, the Central RSA Academies Trust has a number of vacancies and is seeking high-calibre, committed Governors and Chairs of Governors to strengthen its Local Academy Governing Boards (LAGBs). 

The Central RSA Academies Trust is a multi-academy sponsor with a mission to transform the life chances of the young people and their families in the academies we support. 

We are a group of schools with a strong and powerful relationship with The Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce (The RSA).  

The RSA has a strong history of supporting educational innovation, thinking and approaches, going back as far as the Nineteenth Century (https://www.thersa.org/about-us/education-history). Today, we work together as a group of schools, working closely with the RSA, to ensure the best possible educational outcomes for young people in our schools. 

As a Trust we place a high value on good governance, believing that it is an essential part of our strategy to deliver the best possible education for our children and young people.  We have sought to create a clear governance structure that places as much decision making as possible in our schools to empower Governors and staff.    

Volunteering as a School Governor is a great opportunity to gain school leadership experience at board level as well as transferable skills that enhance performance and employability. Most of all, you will have the satisfaction of making a real difference to children’s lives and helping them to realise their potential. 

The main purpose of a Governor is to: 

  • Help set the strategic direction of the school 
  • Hold the leadership to account for the performance of the school 
  • Make sure that resources are used well and that money is well spent 
  • To ensure that both they and the school are answerable to the communities they serve, in particular parents.  

 

We are looking for a Chair of Governors that can provide the following key skills & areas of expertise; Governors should have experience in at least some of these areas: 

  • The ability to work in a team 
  • An interest in education and a commitment to the school 
  • Educational delivery in an AP, SEMH, ASD and/or mainstream context 
  • Enthusiasm for taking on an active role on the Governing Body 
  • Availability to attend Governing Body meetings and carrying out visits to the school 
  • A willingness to listen, learn and to undertake training 
  • Experience of organisational leadership (essential for the Chair) 
  • Performance Management in the context of outcomes and progression 
  • Safeguarding 
  • Financial Management and Fund Raising 
  • Human Resource Management, including staff development 
  • Knowledge of the local area, including the labour market  

 

For Governors, the time commitment will be approximately 10 days per year spent attending meetings, visiting the school from time-to-time and undertaking relevant training.  The time commitment for Chairs is approximately 2-3 days per month. 

There are no specific qualifications for the role of governor. You just need the right attitude, enthusiasm and time to devote to the role. 

It is important that we ensure our schools are delivering an education underpinned by our values as RSA Academies and we encourage our LAGBs to keep a strong focus on these as we support our schools and the Trust in delivering our strategic objectives.  

The Central RSA Academies Trust seeks a diverse Board and welcomes applications from all sections of the community. 

Our organisation is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and expects all staff and governors to share this commitment. Before your appointment as governor is confirmed you will be required to undertake an enhanced DBS check. 

To discuss these opportunities further, please contact Jane Dominese, Head of Corporate Services on: jdominese@centralrsaacademies.co.uk or on telephone number: 0121 270 3117 

Thank you for your interest, we look forward to hearing from you.
