Description

Teacher of Economics and Business - Required: Sept 2022

Please note that only application forms will be considered, due to our safeguarding procedures, we do accept CV's.

This is a great opportunity to join a highly successful school as part of a friendly and very hard-working department. Established as a brand-new school in 2002, we moved into our award-winning £30 million accommodation in 2005. The school is located within easy reach of central London via the District Line and yet just minutes by car from the Essex countryside.

In 2018/19 JRCS achieved another set of excellent outcomes at both KS4 and KS5. The school’s Progress 8 score was 0.37 which placed us in the ‘well above national average’ category. At KS5 our A*-C grade was 86%; we also achieved an average A Level grade of B-. Our vocational progress score was with an average BTEC grade of Distinction*. On both measures, JRCS is one of the best in the borough. Our Sixth Form continues to work in partnership with four other schools in order to deliver the highest quality post-16 education pathways for our students. We were recently awarded an Alps Certificate of Outstanding Progress (2018/19) which placed us in the top 20% of Sixth Form providers nationally. Due to the Covid-19 outbreak, the Government confirmed that the summer exam series at both KS4 and KS5 would be cancelled for both 2019/20 and 2020/21. Schools were asked to submit Centre Assessed Grades and the students were awarded these grades in August 2020 and 2021. Therefore, no summer examination performance data will appear on the DfE website and schools are not being asked to publish student outcomes for the academic years 2019/20 and 2020/21.

We pride ourselves on being a truly inclusive school and this is actively underpinned by our motto ‘Success for All’. Academic rigour runs alongside a commitment to extra-curricular activities and we offer our students a wide range of opportunities to pursue their studies both inside and outside the classroom. Our extensive range of extra-curricular activities, together with trips to Rome, Berlin, France, Borneo, the WWI trenches in Ypres, skiing in the USA, and our highly regarded Duke of Edinburgh programme, is second to none and ensures all students get the chance to extend their academic, social and cultural experiences outside of the classroom. New staff are encouraged to participate in trips.

The school’s most recent OFSTED report described the school as good with outstanding leadership and governance and outstanding spiritual, moral, social and cultural provision; this judgement was reinforced at our last Section 8 inspection in November 2017.

The school prides itself on providing staff with the most appropriate and effective support to ensure that their professional development needs are fully met and that there is a high level of challenge in the opportunities they are offered. Wednesday afternoons are devoted to CPD and the school has a very strong record of developing staff; nearly a third of the Heads of Department and Heads of Year joined the school as NQTs, as did five members of the Senior Leadership Team. Please visit the “join us as a member of staff” page of our award-winning website to learn more about what makes JRCS such a special place to work.

Business at JRCS

The Business and Economics Department is a hard-working team, passionate about offering pathways to students through the offer of a range of academic and vocational qualifications. The department is committed to student experience and enterprise is at the heart of what we do. As a department we want our learners to leave us with the skills they need to take their next steps in the business world.

High-quality induction, including a two week NQT school-based immersion programme in July, is available to all staff at JRCS as part of our strong commitment to continuing professional development.
