An exciting opportunity to join a successful team in a forward thinking, high achieving school which focuses on raising attainment. The successful candidate would have an ability to teach across key stage 3 and key stage 4, as well as a commitment to contributing to all aspects of school life. Applications from ECTs will be welcomed. History is taught as a subject throughout the Key Stages and is a popular choice at Key Stage 4 & 5. This is an exciting opportunity for a dedicated, energetic and inspirational teacher to lead and make a significant contribution to this successful and hardworking department.

We are a stand-alone academy, which is proud to have retained its identity at the heart of the community, but we have also expanded and developed our collaborative working as a founder member of the Valley Learning Partnership. Our recent Ofsted inspection, in February 2022, recognised that ‘There is an acute awareness of what pupils need to support them in their stage of learning or employment. This runs through the school from Year 7 to the sixth form. Leaders make sure all pupils, including those with SEND, access an ambitious curriculum that stimulates their minds and promotes curiosity.

Subject leaders have a thoughtful approach to the curriculum, prioritising the needs of the pupils. They place a great deal of trust in the teachers, who are knowledgeable.’

Inspectors also reported that “there are clear and high expectations for behaviour that pupils know and understand. Staff apply the behaviour policy consistently”;

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and we expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Further information regarding our Child Protection and Safeguarding Policy can be found on the school website. The successful applicant to this post will be subject to an Enhanced DBS check (Disclosure) before the appointment is confirmed.
