Teacher of Media job summary

Teacher of Media (MPS/UPS)

At Cedars, we have a strong reputation as a popular and high-performing school. Our achievements were further highlighted by the excellent set of results our students attained in both GCSE and A-Level examinations in summer 2022. Building on these successes, we are determined to reach new heights and aspire for an outstanding status. A large number of our sixth form students move onto Russell group Universities where they continue to flourish.

You will be joining a team passionate for their subject whose high expectations for our students’ enjoyment and progress drives their commitment to providing an engaging and inspirational curriculum in both Key Stages 4 and 5. The team is also dedicated to developing our students’ interest in media beyond the classroom with motivational curriculum-enriching opportunities.

We are fully committed to on-going continuous professional development and, along with excellent in-house CPD, can offer an extremely supportive and positive atmosphere to work in. Our students are hard-working, polite and eager to learn and deserve outstanding teachers, or teachers striving to be outstanding.

Our students all have the opportunity to opt into the Chromebook scheme which enables technology to be a central part of the learning process.
