Job Title: Teacher of Computer Science
MPR/ UPR
Up to £10,000 recruitment and retention allowance available for an outstanding candidate
Trinity Academy Sowerby Bridge joined the Trinity Multi-Academy Trust in October 2018. Working closely with outstanding leaders from across the trust, the academy is characterised by its high aspirations and ambitions. Targeted and effective support systems have been implemented in order to create an environment where our students experience an outstanding education with no limit to what they can achieve.
GCSE results are a validation of the work we have undertaken to transform the academy and the results mean the academy is now recognised as one of the most improved schools in the country. As a result, this is a truly exciting time for the academy. We are determined to build on our initial success, increasing student numbers and constantly striving to serve our students better.
We are now looking to appoint a Teacher of Computer Science to continue our transformation. If successful, you will be joining an organisation that places the values of Empathy, Honesty, Respect and Responsibility at the heart of our practise. A recent external audit found that: The values are central because senior leaders prioritise their implementation. A programme of regular staff training, including role play, ensures that all staff, including newcomers, consistently adopt the language and expectations of the values. Both teaching and non-teaching staff are fully committed to embedding the values in behaviour for learning. A Year 8 pupil said that taking the values away ‘would destroy the school.’
Alongside these values is a belief that great schools can only achieve amazing things by employing the right people. To this end, we have developed extensive CPD packages that ensure everyone, at every level, continuously improves to be the best version of themselves. These packages are wide ranging and include:
- Our 7-week induction to the classroom
- CPD that is always underpinned by the latest research and reflects student needs
- Our bespoke ’10 minute tips’ coaching package
- Leadership development at all levels from Middle Leader, support with your SLE application through to NPQH
What can we offer you?
- An opportunity to be involved in the continued transformation of Trinity Academy Sowerby Bridge
- Full support from a dedicated team of senior leaders and a large pastoral team
- A first class Behaviour for Learning system
- Excellent teaching resources
- Career progression and cross-trust working opportunities
- An excellent CPD package for all staff, including a further comprehensive programme of professional development provided through the Trinity Teaching School Alliance and West Yorkshire Maths Hub
- A range of staff benefits, including a Cycle to Work scheme, reduced cost health cover and childcare support
We also recognise that, as a teenager, growing up can be a difficult time. At a time at which our students may require varying levels of support, we have invested heavily in our pastoral team, which now includes the following positions:
- Two Senior Leaders with responsibility for pastoral care
- Education Welfare Officer
- Lead Attendance Officer
- Attendance Officer
- Family Intervention Worker
- Child Protection Officer
- Five Year Leaders
- Two Behaviour Support Officers
- EAL Engagement Officer
All of the above positions are non-teaching, demonstrating our commitment to dedicate our pastoral staff to pastoral issues
What are we looking for?
- A candidate with experience of effective teaching and performance within the curriculum area
- A commitment to achieving excellent results for students
- A candidate with high expectations of themselves and others
Our vision is to be the most transformational academy in England. If you would like to be part of our journey, we look forward to hearing from you.
You must be fully committed to optimising the opportunities that are available to children and young people, secure in the knowledge that you will be joining an ambitious forward-thinking Academy Trust that sets the standards for our family of schools and academies.
Start date: September 2021 or earlier by negotiation
