We aim to combine our traditional ethos and culture together with a modern approach to teaching and learning. Visitors regularly comment about the friendly atmosphere and calm, purposeful learning environment being quite palpable. “Staff are proud of their school ….”; “It is a place where pupils can indeed ‘believe, grow and succeed”; “Pupils are committed to learning, they are respectful in classrooms and they try their best”; “Your school is a calm place to be, and a happy place to learn”. (Ofsted October 2018) At Batley Grammar School we value staff who take pride in their work and who are willing to contribute fully to the life of the school including its extra-curricular programme.
We are seeking to appoint a well qualified and dynamic leader with a proven track record of raising standards to provide challenge rigour and strategic direction to an already successful faculty. The Communication Faculty consists of English and Languages (French and Spanish). The successful candidate should be an inspirational teacher, proud to be part of our school community, committed to the maintenance of high standards of behaviour for learning and contribute fully to the leadership of the school.
This is an exciting opportunity to join a supportive forward thinking Trust, who in return for your commitment and hard work, will support you to achieve your own career goals and aspirations.
