At Kingsley, we are ‘A school at the heart of our community, developing knowledge, ambition and kindness to prepare students for success at university and the world beyond’. We are passionate about achieving social justice for our students and believe firmly that it should not be about where you come from that determines how successful you are in life. Since opening as an academy, our school has had a challenging past, however things are really changing and the academy was judged as ‘Good’ by Ofsted in October 2020, the first time in our school’s history. Ofsted were impressed by the ‘transformation of our school’ commenting on our students ‘thirst for learning’ and their overwhelmingly polite and considerate attitudes towards staff and each other. Our Headteacher, joined in February 2019, and both he and our new Senior Leadership Team, have been integral to transforming our school into a ‘warm, inclusive school, characterised by excellent behaviour and calm and focused classrooms’ (Ofsted 2019). We operate a centralised behaviour policy, characterised by high standards and no excuses, with the expectation that students and teachers have a right to disruption free classrooms, every lesson, every day. We don’t expect our teachers to have to run detentions, make negative phone calls home or waste time following up on poor behaviour. We ensure that the Senior Leadership Team deal with all of the fine details, so that you can concentrate on your classroom practice and sharing your passion for your subject. We are firm believers in ‘working smart’ at Kingsley and with that in mind, we operate a ‘centralised planning’ approach, with knowledge rich lessons and accompanying knowledge organisers, so that staff can share the planning load and adapt lesson resources to meet their students needs. We also don’t believe in excessive meetings and have limited after school meetings particularly during crunch exam seasons, to ensure that workload is manageable.

This role is due to commence in September 2020, however a summer start would be available for an NQT. We welcome applications from both NQTs and from experienced teachers, with the potential opportunity for a TLR for a suitably qualified candidate. Our ‘Kingsley DNA’ runs through the fabric of our school. These are our guiding set of principles which determine our actions and behaviours at all levels, from students to staff to senior leaders. Walk the talk – We role model the high standards that we expect of others High expectations – We do not lower our expectations of anybody and strive to be remarkable No excuses – We believe firmly that all can achieve, no matter their starting point and that success is achieved through hard work Outstanding learning – We believe in the transformative power of education and know that excellent teaching and learning is our core purpose, put simply ‘the main business is the main business’ We are now seeking to appoint a passionate English specialist who is: An excellent teacher Passionate about their subject Leads with integrity and is solution focused Believes in the value and benefit of a knowledge rich curriculum Hard working and solution focused A team player and has a sense of humour Believes passionately in the transformative power of education to change students lives In exchange, we can offer you: A happy and harmonious school community, where staff are valued and respected A two week October half term break A centralised behaviour system - no detentions, no negative phone calls home!
