Thank you for your interest in joining us at Crispin. We believe that Crispin is a great school to be a part of whether as a student or colleague. We are a friendly, inclusive, highly successful school of 1060 students who make strong progress academically, but who also receive a great many wider opportunities to learn in the fullest sense of the word.
Crispin is a popular school with a strong reputation. We unashamedly have high expectations of all members of our community and we believe in challenging and supporting students to achieve their very best. Visitors regularly refer to our students and colleagues very positively. Relationships between staff and students are a strength of the school and colleagues are committed to providing every opportunity for students to have a broad experience and to be successful. We are committed to educating the whole child to ensure they enter adulthood as happy, supported young people with a love for learning. There is a sharp focus on learning and students receive excellent support. At all times we seek to be a compassionate institution.
It is important to state that Crispin has a very strong safeguarding culture which we would expect potential colleagues to wholeheartedly support.
We have a wide-ranging curriculum and have recently expanded the opportunities for students. We offer two Languages, a range of Arts and Technology options and have recently introduced new examination courses in areas such as Business, Engineering, Health and Social Care, Media and Sport. Students have the opportunity to study Philosophy and our popular new course, Curriculum for Life. We have a high uptake of EBacc subjects but this sits alongside a commitment for students to retain a considerable degree of choice over which courses to follow. There are also a wide range of enrichment activities for students ranging from residential visits to school productions; sports to music; an enrichment week to work experience. We have recently expanded our ‘Employability’ programme considerably and we are also fortunate to have a successful Alumni Scheme.
We are proud of our vertical House system which is comprised of four Houses (Corvus, Falco, Sturnus and Tyto). This system allows for a wide range of opportunities for students from collaboration to competition, student leadership to support. All colleagues are members of one of the Houses.
We are fortunate to have a well-equipped site which includes extensive grounds, a range of curriculum area blocks and an astroturf pitch. We are also extremely fortunate to have opened a new purpose-built Innovation Hub in November 2020. This has been the most substantial development of the site since the opening of Crispin. English classes take place in the English Block which also houses the Library.
This post is a really exciting one and would be a great opportunity for the right candidate. Other than the basic details in the person specification, we do not have a pre-existing idea of what the successful candidate’s career to date will have been. We realise that prospective colleagues will have a range of skills and experience and we would fully support the successful candidate to develop professionally. We have a strong English Faculty with a range of experience and expertise. The Faculty works in a collaborative and supportive manner. We are passionate about providing a wide range of opportunities for all colleagues and this is often referred to favourably by colleagues. Every year colleagues are seconded as Associate Assistant Headteachers, have the opportunity to join the Extended Leadership Team as well as a wide range of other opportunities to develop their careers.
The most important thing is that you are passionate about teaching English. Above all else you should be:
• An excellent, reflective and caring colleague.
• Always seeking to maximise the success and happiness of students.
• A colleague with the highest expectations of what all members of the school community are capable of.
