Thank
you for your interest in Croxley Danes School.
This
is an extremely exciting time to join Croxley Danes School as in September
2020, the school opened its brand-new permanent accommodation at Baldwins Lane
in Croxley Green, including a building with a capacity for over 1200 students.
The permanent site for the school comprises 12.3 hectares. This far surpasses
the need for a six-form entry school, therefore the space afforded to the
students on site is, compared to other local schools, second to none.
Furthermore, the permanent school building has been meticulously designed to
ensure both students and staff experience a first-class learning environment.
More details about (and images of) the permanent site can be found here
The Danes Educational Trust currently comprises
nine schools: St Clement Danes School, Croxley Danes School, Chancellor’s
School, Onslow St Audrey’s School, De Havilland Primary School, Elstree Screen
Arts Academy, Ascot Road Primary School, Jupiter Primary School and Lanchester
Primary School. Dr Josephine Valentine OBE is the CEO of the Danes Educational
Trust. She was Headteacher of St Clement Danes School for 20 years. She is a National Leader in Education, a DfE
Advisor and has oversight of all nine schools.
If appointed, you will benefit from working within an established,
outstanding Trust whilst also contributing to the education of the first
cohorts of students in a new school at an exciting stage in its development.
We
are heavily over-subscribed with 840 students across Years 7-11 who are
aspirational, confident and have excellent attitudes to learning. They are
extremely proud of being the first cohorts of students in a brand-new school
and excited about the future. Staff overwhelmingly report that they are
delightful to teach and fun to have in the classroom. Their behaviour is
excellent.
We
look for talented and committed people and work hard to keep them, helping them
to reach their full potential. In return we offer exceptional CPD opportunities.
You
should possess excellent communication and organisational skills, be hard
working, flexible and professional. You should have high expectations of
students, colleagues and yourself, displaying energy and enthusiasm in and out
of the classroom, contributing to the school’s overall success. A willingness
to contribute to other areas of school life would be welcome.
The
staff team is a happy and stable one; the students are capable, conscientious
and self-motivated learners. Have a look at our website's news pages to get a
taste of the student experience or follow us on Twitter @croxleydanes.
The school is close to beautiful countryside -
Google images of the Chess Valley for a taste - and on the Metropolitan line
into London. A few minutes from Jct 18 of the M25, the school is close to towns
regularly voted as some of the best places in the UK to live and raise a family
and, although an affluent part of the country, there is plenty of affordable
housing in nearby Watford and its surroundings.
I
want Croxley Danes School to be outstanding and a strong part of the local
community. If you share our commitment to educational excellence, we want to
hear from you. If you choose to apply for a job with the Trust, you will join a
happy, successful team whilst making a wise investment in your future career.
If you would like to
organise a visit to the school or if you would like to discuss any position in
more detail then please contact the Recruitment Team at recruitment@danesedtrust.org.uk.
