Do you believe passionately that Media Studies should be at the heart of an outstanding education?
We are looking for a dynamic teacher of media who is a strong practitioner and has a passion for inspiring students and the ability to support and lead their peers. This is the perfect opportunity to work within a supportive faculty to help to further develop our exceptional provision within the academy. The ability to teach drama would be advantageous, since media falls within the Performing Arts Faculty.
We are a highly sought after and well-established comprehensive in East Oxford with over 1350 students including 6th Form. A strength of Oxford Spires is the warm, welcoming culture for students and staff alike and a huge sense of community.
Performing Arts is a highly respected and pedagogically focused faculty. With media playing an important role in our richly diverse school community that contributes positively to the experience of our students. As the Teacher in Charge of Media you will oversee, support, mentor and drive forward our exceptional team, you will play a key role in further shaping and developing what is already an area of strength within the school.
What we are looking for:
- A creative and energetic teacher of media who is seeking to share their experience and skills to further improve the faculty.
- A passionate and dynamic teacher who will inspire innovation and creativity within our students.
- Applicants who have a commitment to creating an inclusive classroom where all students make excellent progress and experience success.
- A media specialist, who is also able to teach drama.
We are committed to nurturing staff development. In return, we offer you a friendly and supportive environment and the chance to make a genuine difference to the amazing young people that make up our Academy. We are proud to be a part of the Anthem Trust which enables us to collaborate to further benefit our students.
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and require all staff and volunteers to share and demonstrate this commitment. The successful candidate will have to meet the requirements of the person specification and will be subject to the relevant pre-employment checks which will, where applicable, include a health check, an enhanced DBS check, the Children’s Barred List check and satisfactory references.

Anthem Schools Trust are a family bound together by a commitment to three strongly held values: integrity, collaboration and excellence, and to our core purpose: creating ambitious and successful schools where everyone thrives. We are big enough to provide effective support for rapid school improvement, but small enough to foster open, honest relationships and communication.

Anthem serves over 8,000 children and young people in 16 schools across the East Midlands, London and Thames Valley.
As a multi-academy trust (or MAT), Anthem is first and foremost a school improvement organisation, responsible for ensuring that the public money they receive to run 11 primary schools and five secondary schools is used to drive the best possible outcomes for the children and young people under their care.
