What skills and experience we're looking for
This post is a crucial one to the school. You will deliver GCSE Drama to a group in Year 11 and another in Year 10. You will also teach Key Stage 3 Drama, as well as a very small number of English and Music lessons. You will be part of the two-person Performing Arts department, which is led by the Head of Music. Time-management skills, patience and a good work ethic are essential, as are excellent interpersonal skills. The job description will give you further details about what we require.
What the school offers its staff
Limehurst Academy is an exciting place to work and learn. Our school motto is Achievement in a Caring Environment. You will see when you visit the school and talk to the students, teachers, support staff and governors that we are passionate about what we do: getting the best out of every child whatever their abilities, interests or ambitions. We have high aspirations for everyone who is part of our community whether student or member of staff. With this caring ethos we are looking for skilled staff to join us who have a clear passion for helping young people achieve the absolute best they can. We are proud to be a member of the East Midlands Education Trust.
At Limehurst, we aim to deliver the highest quality teaching, which encourages greater student responsibility and independence in their learning. We aim to understand quickly the changing needs of each individual in our care and prepare them for the next stage of their education. We challenge and support them to succeed beyond what they believe they are capable of in an environment where students feel safe and relationships are good. We provide them with exciting learning opportunities both in the classroom and beyond that will engage and motivate them so that they will want to come to school. We join with them in celebrating their successes.
The school was inspected by Ofsted in April 2022, who confirmed that the school remains a good school. The report can be found on our website, and I strongly encourage you to read it. It begins with the line: “Pupils are unanimous in their praise of Limehurst Academy.” It also says, “Pupils are polite and respectful. In lessons, their conduct is exemplary.” We know our school well but we are not complacent. We are constantly seeking to improve, and deliver outstanding education to the community we serve - a community that we are very proud to be a part of.
