Summary
In response to increased need we restructured in order to expand our Safeguarding team. Safeguarding is a key part of the way we integrate Care and education at FPHS. We have a strong psychologically informed practice and the Safeguarding team is a key part of our inclusive offer. We have a far-reaching pastoral system where teams work together, in an inquiry-based approach, in order to break down barriers to opportunity. If you are successful, you will help us negotiate the best support for our children and families and support the Safeguarding Officer where appropriate. This position is such a pivotal role in our school and we want to ensure we have the right candidate who has the skills, knowledge and professional behaviours but also will be able to work effectively within school and with different partners. Therefore, when you write your application, I urge you to allow me to see a sense of who you are and why you want to work specifically at Falinge.
Our school
As the Headteacher I strongly believe in developing a culture of professional reflection and practice. When an organisation can create an environment that is psychologically safe then true innovation can be established. This is done through a focus on relational practice where inclusion is seen as part of school improvement. If you feel that this type of approach fits with your values and beliefs around Care and Education, please read the materials and come and visit, ask us questions and see our strategy in action.
The school has a warm, welcoming and positive environment where our children and staff want to be. Our core purpose is to ensure that we empower all to Aspire, Thrive and Achieve. You will see from our website that we believe that both academic and personal development are of equal importance.
I do hope you will take the time to look at our website www.falingepark.com so that you can see what we have to offer. Thank you for showing an interest in this position and I look forward to receiving your application
