- Passionate about high quality teaching and learning,
- Offers inspirational and caring guidance for young people and
- Works collaboratively, asks questions and is keen to learn.
We are seeking someone with the commitment and enthusiasm to be part of a lively, well managed and successful team.

There is a supportive climate in which there is much cooperation, resulting in detailed schemes of work and excellent resources.
The successful candidate will be given full support and will be encouraged to engage in further professional development which we believe will benefit both the individual and the school. We have a strong induction programme, particularly for ECTs who will be part of the George Abbott NQT Induction Programme. The successful applicant is likely to be a form tutor and will be required to teach humanities as part of their timetable. As the school transitioned from being a Local Authority Community School to forming a MAT, a key element was maintaining the full benefit and protection of the National Pay & Conditions. Similarly, staff appointed from other academies are not disadvantaged, e.g. by counting service towards sick pay and maternity leave. The school takes a constructive approach towards Performance Management & Appraisal and Pay Progression and offers many opportunities for career development through paid responsibilities.

Applicants should submit the Application Form and a letter of application which should not normally exceed two sides. A curriculum vitae is not necessary as all relevant information should be included on the application form or in the letter.
