What skills and experience we're looking for

The academic curriculum at Marlwood School is largely traditional in nature, operating a three year key stage 3 and two year Key Stage 4 model. We review our offer annually and In recent years we have created a greater vocational element to suit our learner profile and local context year on year. We are looking for a creative, outward facing and analytical leader who can evaluate the merits of different curriculum models and the impact of their effectiveness, both in terms of pupil engagement and academic outcomes. You will be adept at using pupil progress data to influence whole school curriculum decisions. You will have the skills and expertise to lead a team of curriculum leaders to monitor the effectiveness of their curriculum intent, implementation and impact, with a view to continually refining their offer and improving the pupil learning experience.

Marlwood School is situated in leafy South Gloucestershire, less than 20 minutes away from the heart of the cosmopolitan vibrancy of Bristol City Centre. The school has a strong identity as a small rural school and is attracting pupils beyond its immediate local community. It is located on a stunning site in Alveston, near to the Severn Estuary and has excellent transport links to the M5 and M4.

You will be comfortable with holding curriculum leaders to account, whilst providing support and challenge. You will be able to demonstrate this through your own practice and the impact your work to date has had on improving pupil outcomes.

This is a warm and friendly school with a family feel where each child is appreciated and cared for who they are, as well as what they achieve and go on to become. Being a smaller than average secondary school, our size is definitely our strength. We pride ourselves on being a kind and caring student focussed school, where every member of staff makes it their business to get to know each child as soon as they enter the Marlwood family. Our pastoral care is second to none. Our dedicated pastoral staff work very closely with students to understand their needs and provide the very best support and care. After all, happy children are more likely to be successful children! Marlwood has recently received investment that is funding a facelift of the school to include new classrooms for art, design technology and science. The school also benefits from expansive grounds including tennis courts, astro pitch and a multi-purpose playing field. There is a real sense of fresh air at the school!
