Headteacher Recruitment Pack January 2016 Headteacher Recruitment Pack January 2016 “As a school we have high expectations of both children and adults and are determined in our belief that this is driven by effective leadership from both the Board, and critically our Headteacher”. Mr John Luff Board Chairman Dear Candidate, Thank you for your interest in becoming the next Headteacher of Emerson Park Academy. The position arises following the retirement of Mr Walsh at the end of August 2016, following an inspirational and lifetime work in Education. This includes 14 years with our school, the last 7 of which were as Headteacher. Emerson Park Academy is a school that is proud to be at the heart of the community and demands a totally inclusive approach to diversity in culture, language and background. Our aim is to include a wide range of opportunities, engaging with every student, regardless of ability, to achieve their full potential in a learning environment that is challenging, stimulating, aspirational and enjoyable. This includes providing a supportive and safe environment for students, parents and staff ensuring that their well-being is of paramount importance. The school remains very popular locally being significantly over subscribed for many years. We have autonomy over our decisions having converted to academy status, but still maintain and enjoy close links with the Local Authority. At our last Ofsted inspection we were graded Good and poised to be Outstanding. Moving to Outstanding remains our ambition and to meet this objective we need to ensure the school produces consistent high performance and this will be a priority for our new Headteacher. We are fortunate to enjoy an engaged and active Board with several Directors frequently in school and all Directors in school on a regular basis. The Board recognises its responsibilities to the Headteacher, and is able to support and challenge effectively. We also recognise our strategic obligations and will work with our new Headteacher in looking outwardly and forward at important topics such as collaboration and expansion. As a school we have high expectations of both children and adults and are determined in our belief that this is driven by effective leadership from both the Board, and critically our Headteacher. Our new Headteacher will need to share strong leadership qualities of: Vision: with a clear sense of moral purpose being able to formulate and shape the future Courage: and willing to take risks in challenging under performance or poor behaviour Passion: about teaching and learning showing great commitment to students Emotional Intelligence: in building a successful team with respectful relationships Judgement: in making the right decisions and bringing other stakeholders forward together Resilience: in remaining optimistic, calm in crisis, energetic and positive Persuasion: being confident in communications and adept at telling the story of the school, as well as being a great motivator getting others to go the extra mile Curiosity: and outward looking, up to date with what is going on elsewhere and using it intelligently and effectively By always looking, thinking and moving forward, we believe that Emerson Park Academy will support our students to Endeavour, Persevere and Achieve. I would welcome receiving your application and together with my other Directors look forward to meeting you. Should you wish to visit the school in advance please let us know and we would be more than happy to facilitate. Yours faithfully, John Luff Board Chairman CONTEXT Emerson Park Academy is an 11 to 16 mixed Directors and senior staff constantly monitor comprehensive school situated in Hornchurch performance, and progress is reviewed regularly within the London Borough of Havering, close to at specific data meetings; within the Learning the A127.

Academy Development Plan. CARE, GUIDANCE AND SUPPORT The Academy’s pastoral system is built around four Houses (Brunel, Cavell, Hepworth and Redgrave) with students in each House split into 10 vertically tutored forms. Each form group consists of approximately 24 – 26 students. In September 2012 we moved away from year groups, following a two year investigation in to the possible benefits of having a vertically tutored system. So far we have found that vertical tutoring has created A greater family environment in the school, where everyone is approachable, no “year group” cultures or perceived blocks against talking to older students. Form Tutors facilitate activities throughout the week and the older students act as mentors. More time over the year for Form tutors to talk to students as an individual e.g. Year 10 and 11 revision planning/coursework support, Year 9 options process and transition from Primary. Peer mentoring happens naturally as our older students talk to younger students (especially during Year 9 options or during transition periods for students just arriving from primary schools). More opportunities for students to act as or take on leadership roles. Each House is led by a full-time, support member of staff. This structure enables the Academy to pro-actively oversee the welfare and progress of all its students. The Heads of House lead their own teams of Form Tutors and work collaboratively with subject teachers, other middle leaders and a range of external agencies to meet the diverse individual needs of all that attend Emerson Park Academy. STUDENT SUCCESS Jack Skinner (aged 18) achieved 7 A* and 3 A’s and is now a boarder at Colchester Royal Grammer school studying Maths, Chemistry and Physics.

Years 7, 8 and 9 are split into three equal ability bands although these are sometimes combined in English, Mathematics and Modern Languages to allow for better setting opportunities. Subjects taught are as follows: English, Mathematics, Science, Design Technology, Modern Languages, Physical Education, ICT, Cultural Studies (Citizenship, PSE, Religious Studies), Geography, History, Art, Drama and Music. At Key Stage 4, all students have access to a range of subjects and currently study four optional subjects. Both years are divided into three ability bands, however one band is composed of our higher attaining students. Most classes are examination classes, with the exception of core PE and Cultural Studies, and follow two-year courses from Year 10 to the end of Year 11. For our current Year 9, there is an EBacc focus on the curriculum offer, together with a curriculum support group for students where this offer is not appropriate. Currently, each lesson is one hour and the timetable operates over a period of two weeks. LEADERSHIP AND GOVERNANCE The academy trust is a charitable company limited by guarantee. The structure below shows how the Trust operates with the Members of the trust, who are akin to shareholders, being the subscribers to its memorandum of association.

The Board of Directors currently consists of twelve Directors and is made up as follows: Director Category Member Appointed 3 Co Opted 3 Parent Elected 3 Staff Elected (Teaching) 1 Staff elected (Non Teaching) 1 Headteacher (ex officio) 1 Total 12 Governance of the Board is primarily through a committee structure (shown below) and supplemented by fortnightly meetings between Chair / Vice Chairs and Headteacher and ad hoc meetings as required. The Board carries out the majority of their meetings termly by attending Director Days within school time.

This report once again, gives testimony to the hard work and dedication given by teaching staff to providing a high standard of religious education throughout our schools. Membership of SACRE has remained good, in spite of the difficulties raised by the pandemic. There are some vacancies which I hope may be filled as soon as life gets back to normal in 2021. It is gratifying to see that Havering's agreed religious education syllabus, launched in 2015, is now being fully used by both Local Authority schools and some academies. During the past year, this syllabus has been under review and has been requested by staff that it be retained.

  • DR NOSHABA KHILJEE Dr Noshaba Khiljee Lives in Emerson Park and Is an NHS Hospital Consultant
    News from Emerson Park Ward Conservatives NewsUpdate UPDATE ON OUR SCHOOLS, POLICE & NHS PLEDGES Julia and her Team have been working to deliver on three critical local priorities – more police, a new NHS Health Hub in Hornchurch and extra cash for our schools. The PM’s police recruitment drive is well underway, with over 70,000 people applying in the first six months of the campaign to recruit police nationally. When your MP, Julia Lopez, spoke to the Havering Police Commander, he said there would be over 150 extra officers for his unit by autumn. New recruits carry out eight weeks of street duties, often in town centres, then six months on local response units and six months on neighbourhood policing duties. Outline planning permission was granted in June for a new NHS hub in Hornchurch on the former St. George’s Hospital site. We hope to expand these plans, so that local residents get the facilities they need on site. We also relayed concerns about the availability of local Covid testing facilities and have now secured two extra testing sites - on Cherry Tree Lane in Rainham and Dagnam Park Drive, Harold Hill. Buildings improvement cash has been secured for local schools including Emerson Park Academy and The Campion School. Next year mainstream school funding will increase by 4%, with a further increase of £730m for children with special educational needs and disabilities. Please maintain social distancing at 2 metres or 6 feet. MEET THE TEAM: DR NOSHABA KHILJEE Dr Noshaba Khiljee lives in Emerson Park and is an NHS hospital Consultant.
