Leader of Business Studies job summary
We are looking for an inspirational individual to join our forward thinking, innovative and dynamic academy to ensure our Outstanding, World Class provision is not only retained but is also built upon.
Judged Outstanding for the first time in 2009 and re-designated as Outstanding in every Ofsted category in May 2013 we have a track record of excellence both in terms of student outcomes and professional development. Working within the nationally renowned GORSE Academies Trust led by Sir John Townsley we were awarded Teaching School Status in March 2012 and in September 2015 our School Centred Initial Teacher Training Centre opened supporting the development of over 120 trainee teachers. On 1 December 2016 The Morley Academy was officially recognised as a World Class School, one of only a handful in the country.
Our examination results are extremely impressive; the 2018 GCSE results placed The Morley Academy significantly above the national average for Grade 4 and above in English & Mathematics with 79% of students achieving this. The validated whole cohort Progress 8 score is +0.51 indicating that students, on average, achieve over half of a grade higher in each of their GCSE subjects than other students of the same starting point, nationally. This Progress 8 score places The Morley Academy amongst the very top performing schools in the country.
The GORSE Academies Trust has a strong moral compass and is determined to ensure that all students thrive within an academic curriculum with plentiful enrichment opportunities, no matter what their background is.
This role represents an incredibly exciting opportunity for any candidate who is eager to be a part of an organisation that seeks to secure the very highest educational standard for every student. Our students receive Outstanding pastoral care, support and guidance and we would expect any successful candidate to be of a mind-set where they believe anything is possible. Likewise, our professional body also benefits from Outstanding CPD and support which is personalised to your particular needs and experience.
