curriculum leader

Mayfield School is looking for a Curriculum Leader with QTS for our Early Years Foundation Stage. The successful candidate will be an outstanding EYFS teacher with proven leadership qualities. We require a visionary and enthusiastic leader, who will take our EYFS to its next stage of development.

Our school is a special school for 310 pupils aged between 2 and 19 with a wide range of special educational needs and disabilities including PMLD, cognition and learning needs and autism. We are proud to be a Unicef Rights Respecting School, on a journey to achieve the gold award.

This post involves working with pupils who have persistent differences with social interaction, social communication and understanding emotions. Our pupils need clear boundaries and consistent support with engagement, learning, emotional regulation, and sensory needs.

The school is split across two sites - Wheeler Street in Lozells (co-located with Holte School and Lozells Junior and Infant School and Nursery) and Heathfield Road in Handsworth. Curriculum Leaders are typically committed to a teaching load of 19 hours per week. EYFS experience and a relevant qualification is necessary for this role. We welcome applicants with special or mainstream experience. Currently, there are three EYFS classes at Mayfield, all based on our Heathfield Road site and a total number of twenty-four children between the three class groups.

In recent years Mayfield has engaged with all stakeholders to design the "Get Real" curriculum to be ambitious for all our pupils and equip them with the knowledge, opportunities, and experiences to succeed. Curriculum Leaders play a key part in continuing to develop our curriculum offer, role modelling and monitoring the implementation of the curriculum and assessing its impact. This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced or aspiring middle leader to really make a difference to the lives of young people and their families through education.

We are looking for positive, collaborative, supportive and solution focused people who will seek every opportunity to provide rich learning experiences for our pupils and who can show personal resilience and a commitment to children's universal rights.

Applications are welcomed from qualified and experienced teachers who are willing to work with others as part of a strong team. This role is unsuitable for ECTs. Visits to the school are encouraged and can be made via appointment by contacting:HR@mayfield.eiat.org.uk

A recent Welbee staff survey showed Mayfield as managing the risks of work-related stress and staff wellbeing effectively. Our team tell us that they value the support of their colleagues and the in-house training offered by the school and welcome the professional development opportunities available to them.

We are proud to be part of Education Impact Academy Trust where "better never ends".
