What skills and experience we're looking for
Join our dynamic team as English Lead and embark on a journey of innovation and excellence, where your skills will shape the future of the school, which is highly ambitious for their pupils, to ensure every child reaches their full potential.
The school is a key part of the local community, linking to local events and groups. Colman Infant and Colman Junior Schools are in close proximity and benefit from key specialist staff working across the two sites.
This role includes leading English across the school. You will have strong subject knowledge and be able to work with colleagues to ensure aspirational outcomes are achieved. We follow the CUSP curriculum which has a diverse literature spine that sets ambitious expectations for all.
What the school offers its staff
We offer a warm and welcoming environment with a dedicated staff team who are supportive of one another. There is a clear vision for school development to improve outcomes for all pupils.
Colman Infant and Junior Schools are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. DBS and all other relevant checks will be required for this post.
Colman Infant and Junior Schools are part of Unity Schools Partnership, a multi-academy Trust made up of a family of 35 schools (9 secondary, 19 primary and 5 special schools) located on the Suffolk, Essex, Norfolk and Cambridgeshire borders, as well as Romford in East London.
At Unity Schools Partnership our objective is to smash through barriers to make remarkable change happen. We pride ourselves on being an educational organisation that puts children first, going the extra mile for the vulnerable and disadvantaged, and every one of us has an impact on unlocking our pupils’ potential. We are committed to providing a working environment where our employees can grow and thrive. We value collaboration, wellbeing, diversity, equality and work-life balance. Throughout our diverse family of schools and within our vibrant central hub we nurture talent, whether you are at the beginning of your career or looking to grow your expertise.
The Trust expects its work to be characterised by ethical leadership, an ambition for improvement at pace and the expectation that remarkable improvements can be achieved. We refer to ourselves as a family because, throughout the trust, we foster a supportive and collaborative relationship, whilst recognising, and celebrating that, we are all different and have our own contextual characteristics. Sharing the same values and facing similar issues not only enables us to support each other, but to challenge each other too. This interdependence allows each of our schools to flourish and grow; providing stimulating, nurturing yet self-challenging environments in which our pupils and staff members can thrive.
