Dubai, United Arab Emirates Bloom World Academy Full time

GENERAL JOB DESCRIPTION 

We are looking for an outstanding Deputy Vice Principal (Senior School) to join our team. This person will be responsible for working with and supporting the Vice Principal and leadership team in key school leadership and management areas, with a particular focus on raising the standard of learning and teaching and the quality of assessment and reporting in Senior School.

WHO WE ARE 

Bloom World Academy was launched in August 2022 and educates children from 18 months to 18 years. The school has been hugely successful, so far, in challenging convention and doing things differently in Dubai for the benefit of learners, families and teachers.

After a very successful 18 months of operation, we are looking to expand our offerings next academic year including expansion into our Pre-University Centre (Grade 11-12) and continued growth across other areas of the school including our Primo (nursery - KG2) and Junior School (Grade 1-5).

Every aspect of learning and teaching at Bloom World Academy has been considered - how we do it, why we do it and the impact it is having. This has directly led to many firsts for the UAE. BWA is the first school in UAE to start at 9am; the first school where each student and their family can choose their own timetable (learning pathways), and a school where each student has a Learning Achievement Passport (LAP) – where the performance and progress is shared with the student and family several times a year.

BWA is a family-first school – we encourage parents to be an integral part of our community with many working from school in our community café, attending regular workshops, joining our weekly, celebratory community forums and accessing our school gym.

·      Coordinate and lead all standardised testing across the Senior School.

·      Work in partnership with parents to educate them about our school’s approach to assessment including key standardised assessments (NGRT, CAT4 and PASS) and understanding our reporting system.

·      Lead the analysis of data in Senior School, supporting teachers to triangulate internal and external data sources, as well as triangulating with other key sources such as the Learning Achievement Passport.

·      To lead the coordination and implementation of our Personal Pathways approach across the Senior School.

Leading and managing staff

·      Work with the leadership team to lead, motivate, support, challenge and develop all staff to secure continual improvement including their own continual professional development.

·      To contribute to the monitoring and development of learning and teaching and our commitment to academic improvement.

·      Share in whole school data analysis to determine how well the school is performing and assist with target setting as appropriate.

·      To support the Senior Leadership Team to lead Performance Management of teaching staff in the Senior School.

·      Work with the Senior Leadership Team to deliver an appropriate programme of professional development for all staff including quality coaching and mentoring, in line with the school improvement plan and performance management.
