Teacher of Literacy and Numeracy job summary

The alternative provision at Netherwood is looking for a well-qualified Teacher of Literacy & Numeracy with primary responsibility for developing the core skills of learners across the multiple tiers. The alternative provision caters for secondary aged students aged 11-16, many of whom have social, emotional and behavioural difficulties. The school offers a broad and balanced curriculum and wishes to ensure this is reflected in the programmes of study available within the provision. Applications from teachers accustomed to working at secondary and primary level are encouraged, as will those from candidates who can demonstrate an ability to teach across a range of subject areas / themes. We are looking for someone with QTS and experience within a mainstream or specialist setting (SEND/PRU school, for example), and/or experience of successful leadership in inclusion; someone who is comfortable working within a challenging but rewarding environment and possessing an ability to inspire excellent classroom and social behaviour. Colleagues joining the alternative provision set-up will be expected to be beacons of best practice for the whole of the staff team, and will contribute significantly to whole-school professional development. This is an exciting time to be joining us, as our ambitions for the alternative provision grow - from a small provision of around 15 students to a 5-tiered structure able to accommodate up to 75 places when complete, including commissioned places where appropriate. The key aim of the provision is to inspire students who face particular educational and social challenges to thrive in a more targeted environment, with a greater degree of consistency in curriculum delivery, and to reach heights they hitherto thought impossible.

Netherwood Academy is an 11-16 academy which opened in September 2012, set in an extensive £35 million campus. As part of Astrea Academy Trust, Netherwood Academy is in an exciting period of development.
A WELCOME FROM THE PRINCIPAL
I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to Netherwood Academy. I took the helm here at the beginning of September 2020 after almost 10 years Headship experience in two schools elsewhere in Yorkshire, and I am committed, alongside my staff team, to doing everything in my power to ensure Netherwood is the school of choice for all secondary-age students in the wider community.

We have ambitious plans to take the school further on its journey to “inspiring beyond measure”, backed by Astrea, a forward-looking and values-driven trust which operates a large number of primary and secondary schools throughout South Yorkshire and Cambridgeshire.

My personal ambitions for Netherwood are very straightforward – to provide an excellent all-round education for every student, whatever their background, and inspire them to be ambitious for themselves, both academically and socially, so that they go out into the wider world as responsible citizens, fully-equipped for what life has to offer. This will include a commitment from us, as staff, to broadening students’ general cultural awareness, and we aim to do this through high expectations and an unapologetic focus on students doing the right thing day-in, day-out. We believe this will make all of our classrooms and corridors disruption-free, enabling teachers to teach high-quality lessons and students to learn and thrive every day.

Our facilities are modern and extensive, and we have worked hard to ensure curriculum areas and extra-curricular activities are well-resourced and accessible to everyone. We have dedicated, state-of-the-art spaces for indoor and outdoor Physical Education, as well as the Visual and Performing Arts, including Music, Drama and Dance.

More and more families from the local area are choosing Netherwood for their children than ever before, and staff at the school have the confidence to send their own children here, in greater numbers than we have ever seen – this is testament to the rapid improvements we have made over the past two years, and which we continue to make.

When Ofsted next visit us, we are adamant that we will be judged to be a Good school, for the first time in the school’s history; the work we have already undertaken means we are well on the way to achieving this ambition.

Our academy is a bright and vibrant community, where children sit at the very heart of everything we do. I very much hope it is a community you would like to be part of.

Best wishes

Mr J Mitchel
