We serve a wide-ranging urban catchment area whilst also taking students from other parts of the town and surrounding villages. We offer a broad and varied curriculum to suit the needs of our students.
Due to the promotion of the current post holder, we are looking to appoint a well-qualified, dynamic and highly motivated leader to run our Autism Provision known as the Nightingale Unit. We currently have over twenty students accessing this very successful provision within our school with students in Key Stages 3, 4 and 5. This is an exciting opportunity to lead a successful part of our school.
We are lucky to have a large and pleasant campus with extensive green spaces for sport and recreation. Our infrastructure offers well-equipped classrooms and other subject specific facilities to support our students with their learning and personal development. Two large indoor sports facilities enable students to undertake a wide range of sports and we also have a 3G pitch for students to use for lessons, sporting fixtures and recreational time. Our £2 million STEM facility houses our planetarium whilst also providing a lecture theatre, number of classrooms and a computer room. For our STEM enthusiasts we offer access to additional qualifications, such as GCSE Astronomy and Sixth Form students lead a weekly club for Key Stage 3 students who have a passion for Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths.
All of our staff are dedicated and committed to raising standards and developing each child to reach their potential. We have a strong emphasis on academic achievement, backed up by the real knowledge of each student’s individual needs. Students learn in a positive, healthy and challenging environment.
At Mark Rutherford School we offer a supportive working environment and a comprehensive CPD offer. The school has an excellent induction programme as part of our staff support package and a clear pathway for career progression with our Aspiring Leaders Programme.
