Job description
Appointment of Deputy Principals at Ifield Community College
Thank you for your interest in these posts which come at a very exciting time for Ifield Community College. I have recently been appointed to the post of Principal from September 2024, whilst my colleague, Carol McIver-Wren, is retiring after nine years at the school, giving rise to two Deputy Principal posts. We are looking to appoint two outstanding and experienced senior colleagues to lead our Quality of Education and Community teams respectively. Both Deputies will take on a significant role in the day-to-day strategic and operational leadership of the school. I hope that having read this information you will be both excited by the post and the prospect of developing your career with us.
In the last academic year, the Governing Body at ICC decided that in order to continue to build on its recent successes and best support the future of the school and its community, that the school should academise and join a multi-academy trust. consequently, after careful consideration and due diligence, it was approved for ICC to join The Collegiate Trust (TCT), a family of 8 schools in Crawley and Croydon, whose ethos and culture are very much aligned to ICC. The transfer is expected to have taken place before September 2024.
Ifield Community College is a popular, oversubscribed, Ofsted GOOD school with a clear vision to deliver successful outcomes and positive futures for all of our students. As Deputy Principal, you will make a significant contribution to the Senior Leadership Team by leading on Quality of Education (including curriculum, teaching & learning, raising achievement and professional development) or Community (including behaviour, standards, inclusion and student wellbeing). The person specification identifies the experience, skills and attributes we are seeking, but in short we are looking for:
These are demanding yet very fulfilling posts, providing excellent preparation for further promotion to Headship in due course. Naturally, there will be high quality support and opportunities for further professional learning and development in the role.
We would be delighted to receive an application from you if, upon consideration, you feel that this role may be right for you. If you would like to visit the school and/or have an informal discussion about the post prior to application, please contact Caron Brown, Headteacher’s PA, at [email protected] . To submit an application, please apply through the TES accompanied by a statement of no more than two sides of A4 by 9.00am on Friday 15th March 2024 outlining your suitability for the post and readiness for Deputy Headship. You should indicate which post you wish to be considered for (or either).
Thank you again for your interest and we wish you the best of luck for your next steps.
Yours sincerely
Mr D Conlon
Principal Designate
