Team Player: Provide support to the Music team and the wider school.
Additional Duties: Other responsibilities as required.
About Us:
This is a fantastic time to join team AAW. We have a unique approach to transforming the hearts and minds of young people so that they can go to university, or a real alternative, and live a great life.
We are curious, tenacious, and scholarly. Every scholar learns a classical musical instrument and practices this daily at home. They gain opportunities to play in orchestras and in world-class musical venues. Scholars complete two hours of homework a day and are supported to recall this information throughout the curriculum. Every person in school learns poetry by heart and will recite this publicly every day at the start and end of school. We all dine together as a family at lunchtime and serve each other food and tidy the table at the end of the meal. This is an extraordinary school that believes in simplicity and old-fashioned family values.
In our achievement-oriented culture, it is cool to be smart, and all scholars work hard to make the best of themselves. Working together, we support every child to get that place at university and a top job.
Reasons to work with us:
The curriculum is already planned using resources shared across all Astrea Academies. You need to intellectual prepare for lessons rather than plan from scratch.
We give feedback to scholars, there is no book marking.
Behaviour systems are centralised. The senior and pastoral teams organise detentions and children are polite and courteous. You can teach!
We have 8 INSET days a year to give you the opportunities and time you need to develop as a teacher.
Our house style is Teach Like a Champion (Lemov). There are no gimmicks, or high workload alternatives to simple and effective teaching from the front.
There are strong routines that leave very few grey areas. The school is very predictable and calm.
There is a free lunch if you eat with the scholars as part of Family Dining. This develops their manners and builds good relationships between staff and scholars.
We are a warm, welcoming and friendly place to work and learn. There are 750 scholars so you will know most people well.
SLT are visible and approachable. This means that issues can be resolved quickly.
Our beating heart is our performing arts programme. Every new starter gets a musical instrument and lessons, we all learn poetry by heart, we have shows and productions. You can get involved!
- Plus many, many more including: Health Support, Cycle to Work Scheme, Discounts and Savings, Enhanced Family Leave, Discounted Gym Membership, etc.
