We are a school with low staff turnover and high staff morale and we are looking positively to the future. We are within commutable distance from Filey, Driffield, Malton and York

Our Opportunity
As a result of relocation of the current post holder we are looking for a teacher and leader to join our school as our new Assistant Vice Principal. George Pindar School is on an exciting journey as we work together to make a difference for the young people we serve. When every day is different, this role presents you with the exciting opportunity you have been looking for!
You will be an outstanding practitioner in your own subject area and have the ability to lead by example; your enthusiasm and credibility will help you take colleagues with you and this will be firmly embedded within your current practice. You may be looking at this as either your first SLT post or as a leader looking for a different challenge – either way we would welcome your application. Without question you will join an SLT team that is firmly focused on making all members of the community #ProudToBePindar and be part of a motivated staff body that will support you.
The current post holder has built on developments in teaching and learning over the last eighteen months with the enhancement of the GPSLM (George Pindar School Learning Model) and a Quality Assurance Programme which is fully focused on Plan-Do-Review cycles to further improve and refine teaching practice across our faculties. Staff development is a key feature of this role and clear induction and development programmes are led by the AVP to ensure that all new starters at George Pindar have the best start to their career. The new post holder will take teaching and learning to the next level, further embedding the learning model and supporting students to perform better in exam conditions. An interest in literacy to further improve outcomes would be pertinent at this point.
