Thank you for taking the time to read about this role and our school. CHCC is in the top 12% of schools nationally and blends

What we are building in 'Inspire Together' is truly unique; there is no blue print that we are following and we are one of the

Over the past three years, the school has changed signicantly not only in its performance but in the way it operates. We are
not interested in the OFSTED grade or judgement and it is not something that we use to threaten sta with nor do we use it
to set policy. We do what is best for the sta and the students underpinned by a set of clear values and we trust that
everything else will take care of itself. I would therefore, urge you to visit us and to look at our website and the video about

I look forward to meeting you and receiving your application.
Yours sincerely,
Mr F Adam
(Principal)
I want us to be at the forefront of educational excellence because we want to provide the best educational experience
possible for the children in our care. This is extremely dicult in a climate of ever-increasing accountability and diminishing
resources.
However, I sincerely believe that if we lead this community by staying true to our values then it is possible.
I have therefore spent time with sta and exploring what it is we stand for and, after a school-wide consultation, we have
decided that ASPIRATION, COMMITMENT and SUCCESS are the three key drivers that will support the development of our
pupils.
Crown Hills is a founding school within the "WelI Schools" movement and I sit on the board as well as being an advocate Head
teacher for the YST. My approach and therefore our approach to leadership at CHCC is summarised in my podcast with the
Youth Sport Trust. https://www.buzzsprout.com/273805/9656144 you can expect to be led in this way too and if not have the
license to challenge it.
We have a very dened way of leading at CHCC and you need to be able to lead in that way, please look at our well-being
charter, which has a string focus on leadership and the way that leaders lead at CHCC.
If you would like to discuss the role, please contact the Assistant Principal Ian O'Flynn on io'ynn@crownhills.leicester.sch.uk
We are looking for the role to start as soon as possible so that there is a sucient handover with the current post holder.
We are very clear that the gender, background, colour, poverty, wealth or social status of a child should have no bearing on
how well they perform and sta here work extremely hard in trying to close that gap between the dierent groups of pupils.
