Mark Rutherford School is a large oversubscribed secondary school in the northern part of Bedford with approximately 1300 students on roll. 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.

We are looking to appoint a well motivated individual with experience of working with children, preferably within a secondary education setting and who has experience of managing situations relating to challenging behaviour, assessing pupils’ needs and barriers to learning and delivering bespoke behavioral and academic interventions as well as working closely with parents and carers.

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.

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.
