TLR 3 (£2500) for Digital Learning Lead

What skills and experience we're looking for

We are seeking to appoint a fulltime, dynamic, innovative and inspirational teacher to join our IT department. The College has heavily invested in IT hardware over the last few years, and we benefit from dedicated IT classrooms resourced with sufficient desktop PC’s to teach whole classes. IT is currently taught to all Key Stages. We warmly welcome applications from both ECT and experienced teachers. A temporary TLR is available to the right candidate for the role of Digital Learning Lead.

What the school offers its staff

SJH is an excellent school that has improved immensely in recent years and, as a result, has been oversubscribed for the last five years. Our ethos is for our students to strive ‘to greater heights’. This ethos is built on a core set of values, which underpins everything that we do. These are Ambition, Endeavour and Respect.

Our most recent Ofsted inspection was a great success and recognised the commitment of our staff to improving the College and securing the very best outcomes for our students. The College was judged to be ‘Good’ across all areas inspected. Inspectors commented:

“The school has a calm atmosphere where pupils feel safe. Pupils behave well so that learning is not disrupted. Pupils talk positively about their learning” “Overwhelmingly, positive behaviours and attitudes to learning seen”

“The culture is all about learning, with a strong work ethos”

“Learning is the core of all that happens”

“Leaders provide effective support to develop teachers' subject and pedagogical knowledge. Staff are very positive about the support they receive from leaders. They are proud to work at the school. Those newest to teaching speak particularly highly of the support they receive. Leaders listen carefully to staff. This helps them manage staff well-being and workload.”

The design of our curriculum is clear and is based on the acquisitions of knowledge and skills through effective planning and sequencing. The implementation of our curriculum is simple: effective deliver, effective teaching and effective assessment. We offer the full curriculum entitlement to our students, featuring a three-year Key Stage3/two-year Key Stage 4. We have a comprehensive offer of qualifications, both at Key Stage 4 and 5 and we give teachers the opportunity to teach across all phases.
