Sheffield Park Academy is an 11 to 18 school with a roll of 928 students. It serves a diverse community in south east Sheffield. Since 2011, the academy has continued to make rapid and sustained progress in all areas, with outcomes at key stage 4 in 2013/14 reaching 65 per cent of students achieving five A* to C GCSEs including English and maths, which is likely to exceed the national average.
Against this backdrop of success, I was appointed curriculum area leader for the arts in 2011 and was put in charge of a faculty which included the four subject areas of art, dance, drama and music – all of which had previously been individual departments.
