What the school offers its staff
What can we offer?
- Very visible and approachable senior leadership team.
- Real opportunities for career progression – our culture is very much to ‘promote from within’.
- One day a year ‘off timetable’ provided in the summer term for subject teachers who mark for exam boards.
- Collaborative planning across the Trust with departments in different academies able to share resources and moderation linked by Microsoft Teams.
- A lesson visit schedule that is published one year in advance.
- A performance management process that is focused on three targets only: Subject knowledge, teaching and learning and either a departmental or whole school responsibility target regardless of your level of responsibility.
- Very flexible child-care arrangements - we are a very family-friendly academy and understand how hard it can be to juggle family life and work at times.
- Meetings for subject teachers only twice each half term.
- Reporting to parents only three times a year and no requirement for written comments. No formally graded lesson observations – the emphasis is on coaching and sharing practice.
