Faculty Heads

Primary role:
To administer the work of staff and HODs in the faculty in order to ensure that all staff focus on improving student achievement.

Tasks:

• Lead and communicate with Heads of Department and MU holders in the faculty.
• Attend BOS meetings (not Student Support since the BOS is essentially a curriculum and assessment group).
• Run department and faculty wide meetings as necessary and appropriate.
• Be responsible for ensuring that all department budgets are prepared by Heads of Departments.
• Ensure that all departmental and faculty budget requests are co-ordinated and integrated where appropriate.
• Present all budgets, professional development and resource requirements to the SMT person responsible for the faculty in the normal appraisal cycle.
• Ensure that all staff in the faculty are appraised and carry out all their appraisal obligations.

Other Teams:

Arts Education (including HODs Art, Music and Drama)
This team will not operate exactly like a faculty. Each department will act independently as a department and each HOD will carry out standard budgeting and appraisal processes.

The team will have one HOD (selected by the Principal) who will act as the team’s representative on the BOS. This person will run team meetings of the HODs in the ARTS area when appropriate. The purpose of these meetings could include discussion and action related to:

• Communication from and to the BOS
• Integrated budget proposal as necessary or appropriate
• Curriculum links between the Arts subjects

Business Education (includes HOD Computing, Accounting, Business Studies, Office Systems, Employment Skills)
This team will operate in the same manner as the Arts team and will have one representative on the BOS.

Consultation / Communication

This continues to be a challenge in a large staff, but we need to ensure that everyone feels they have input into major decisions that affect us all - particularly as they relate to classroom practice. All staff and MU holders and HODs will have input into major decisions through the Monday cycle of meetings. The link will be through the BOS/Faculty/team leaders/department meetings and staff meetings. A non-MU holder should expect to be consulted and kept in touch through their meetings with their HOD and/or the HOF. All HOFs have this important role on their job/task description.
