Assistant Curriculum Team Leader (Geography) job summary
We are looking for an experienced Practitioner who will secure and account for effective learning, appropriate achievement and educational, social and personal progress of all students in the assigned area of responsibility, consistent with the aims of the school and the unique needs of each individual learner. In addition to the job description for ‘Teacher’ and ‘Form Tutor’, an Assistant Curriculum Team Leader or Key Stage Leader will take direct responsibility for their specified Key Stage or annually agreed area of responsibility, in addition to supporting the responsibilities of the Curriculum Team Leader as required.
At Tadcaster Grammar School [TGS] we put the needs of students at the forefront of our decision making and practice. Our curricular and co-curricular offer responds to the aims and aspirations of individuals and we structure this as a 7-year experience. The school is fortunate to have a highly committed and talented staff and governing body and our students are motivated, articulate and keen to learn. TGS is a larger than average school, but we organise our pastoral systems so everyone is seen, heard and valued.
Several features of the school are likely to be of note to you if you visit. The first is the very open and welcoming nature of the school from both the staff and students. The second, the sheer variety of activities which are offered both within the curriculum and after school hours. TGS is a school with a strong reputation for looking after its students and where high standards of conduct are non-negotiable.
Our ambition for the school focuses on developing a culture where all students achieve highly whatever their background or ability. This relies on providing learning and teaching of the highest possible quality to engage, enthuse and motivate. At TGS we do not limit our definition of achievement simply to traditionally academic pursuits; we believe in developing well rounded individuals and, as such, we make a significant investment in the areas of sport, creative and performing arts.
Our 2022 Ofsted inspection confirmed what we already knew - that our students enjoy their learning, that they feel safe and well looked after, that the school has an ambitious curriculum which is taught exceptionally well, and that we are firmly committed to providing the very best quality of education for every student both now and in the future.
Geography is a vibrant and highly successful part of the curriculum at TGS. Students tell us that they enjoy their learning and achieve highly. As such, we wish to recruit someone who will contribute something really special to our team. We are looking for a proven and skilled classroom practitioner who can inspire, enthuse and add value. If you feel you are ready for the challenge and would like to know more about the school and its activities please take a look at our website at www.tgs.starmat.uk. If you would like to speak with a member of the Geography team, or arrange to visit during a school day, please do not hesitate to contact us on 01937 833466 or contact the Geography Curriculum Team Leader, Jenny Walker at j.walker@tgs.starmat.uk.
