Job overview
Deputy Head, Leicester
This is an excellent opportunity for an innovative, talented and ambitious senior leader to provide excellent leadership to a developing and improving new school. The vision for our school is simple; we want to become outstanding in all aspects with our Islamic ethos being central to everything we do.
Madani Boys School opened in 2012 and originated from the hugely successful Madani High School which split approximately eighteen months ago into 2 new schools. These 2 new schools are part of Madani Schools Federation. Madani Boys School is now an improving school after a challenging restructuring period and there is genuine belief that we are on a 'special' journey.
Historically, Madani High School which opened in 2007, was a heavily oversubscribed and a very successful school. Every year since opening, our headline GCSE 5+ A*-C (including E+M) % results were well above the National average and we were one of the highest performing schools in Leicester. Our students are exceptionally well behaved and very committed. The attendance rates for our school are amongst the highest in the city.
Recently, the school had an Ofsted inspection whereby we were graded 'requires improvement' overall. Despite this, the inspectors also recognised that effective strategic and operational plans are now in place to move the school forwards rapidly in the next two years. The school has many good aspects including the leadership and school ethos as well as the clear potential to become outstanding within a few years.
This is a fantastic opportunity for a highly skilled professional who would like to positively contribute in our journey as we move towards becoming outstanding in all aspects. We are committed in developing this successful senior leader towards a Headship position within a few years.
