Further details about the role
Mossley Hollins High School was recently judged ‘Good’ by Ofsted in March 2023. Ofsted said that:
'Leaders are ambitious for pupils and have high standards for their academic achievement and their behaviour'
'Leaders organise subject curriculums well. This means that in each subject, teachers are clear about the key knowledge that pupils should learn and the order in which this content should be taught. Subject leaders work closely with local primary schools so that the curriculum builds on what pupils already know'
'All pupils access the full curriculum, and in lessons teachers usually skilfully adapt activities so that all learners, including those with SEND, are able to access the same content as their peers'
'Staff have a secure knowledge of the subjects that they teach. They typically select activities that help pupils to remember, practise and build on what leaders refer to as ‘powerful’ curriculum knowledge. Teachers check how well pupils have learned new knowledge. In most subjects, teachers use leaders’ assessment systems well to address pupils’ misconceptions and to fill any gaps in pupils’ learning'
