Assistant Principal

Goldthorpe Primary Academy are looking to appoint an Assistant Principal to join our academy as soon as possible on a full time, temporary basis.

As an Assistant Principal, you will form part of the Senior Leadership Team and you will deputise for the Head of Academy in their absence. You will provide proactive support to the Head of Academy, Executive Principal and AAB members to ensure the leadership and management of the academy operates effectively. Your role will be to lead, firstly as a highly effective classroom practitioner that will model outstanding practice as well as undertaking monitoring of the provision, inclusion and achievement for all pupils.

Goldthorpe is a village within the Metropolitan Borough of Barnsley, in South Yorkshire. Historically within the West Riding of Yorkshire, in ancient times it was a small medieval farming village and is even recorded in the Domesday Book. In later times, Goldthorpe flourished as a coal mining community. Following the closure of the pits and the inevitable increase in levels of socio-economic deprivation that followed, Goldthorpe is now beginning to benefit from regeneration programmes and investment.

Your new academy

Goldthorpe Primary School lies at the heart of the local community. It was located on the previous site since 1903 which means we were there for 113 years! In the summer of 2016 we relocated to our new site and opened our doors in September 2016. There are currently 264 pupils on roll.

Goldthorpe Primary Academy is proud to be at the heart of our local community. With a rich history dating back to 1903, we served generations of families on our original site for over a century before moving to our modern, purpose-built premises in September 2016. Today, we are home to 298 enthusiastic learners.

Our vision is simple yet powerful: to nurture the holistic potential of every child, empowering them to become successful, responsible, and active members of society.

At Goldthorpe Primary Academy, we are ambitious and aspirational in everything we do. We strive to provide an outstanding start to school life through high standards in literacy and numeracy, a broad and balanced curriculum, and a happy, safe, and supportive environment. Our academy is committed to meeting the needs of every child and their family, fostering strong relationships within the community.

We are exceptionally proud of our recent Ofsted judgements, which recognised that “children thrive at school and live and breathe the school values.” Inspectors also praised our strong culture of high expectations and personal development, noting that pupils feel safe, enjoy learning, and develop into respectful, responsible citizens.

Joining Goldthorpe Primary Academy means becoming part of an exceptional team within a high-performing multi-academy trust, offering exciting career development opportunities for successful applicants.

Delta Academies Trust undertake to treat all applicants for posts fairly and not to discriminate unfairly against volunteers or paid staff who voluntarily reveal that they have a criminal conviction. Equally, we will not discriminate unfairly against volunteers or paid staff where a Disclosure and Barring Service check reveals a criminal conviction or other information about offences.

Therefore, we will consider job applicants who have a criminal record based on their skills, abilities, experience, knowledge and, where needed, qualifications and training. However, our approach depends on the job, and whether it is covered by, or exempt from, the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974.

We are proud to be a Disability Confident employer and guarantee an interview to anyone disclosing a disability whose application meets the minimum criteria for the post. However, it is important to note that if we receive a high volume of applications, we may limit the numbers of interviews offered to people with and without a disability.
