What skills and experience we're looking for
Want to challenge and extend your understanding of what good teaching is? Want to use what we know from Cognitive Psychology about how the brain works to drive your practice and that of your team? Want to be part of improving the outcomes for a fabulous group of motivated pupils?
We are looking for someone to join our supportive and collegiate Senior Management Team (SMT) to lead and inspire a team of teachers to help achieve something special. You will be looking to take on a new challenge and will strive to develop a deeper understanding of cognitive psychology and how we can develop classroom practice to reflect this. You will not be afraid to research and voice your ideas/opinions, even if they may be deemed ‘radical’, ensuring that there is always sound scientific theory behind them.
The right candidate will align totally with our values of hard work, integrity and kindness and will support us in achieving our mission statement: to provide pupils with the knowledge, experiences and confidence they need to excel at secondary school and so that they can make the choices, now and in the future, to have a happy, fulfilling life.
This post could suit a professional with EYFS, Primary or Secondary experience; we want the right people, not just people with the right experience.
