What skills and experience we're looking for
We’re seeking an inspirational and unapologetically determined “teacher of teachers” to join our team at Alvaston Moor Academy.
We are looking for someone who is passionate about ensuring that all teachers are supported and developed through the highest quality coaching and mentoring so that our children receive the very best provision possible.
We’re looking for professionals who are ambitious but humble, innovative but research-led, and warm and compassionate, with unapologetically high standards, to join us on our mission to take Alvaston Moor Academy in Derby from its current position to become one of the very best schools in the country. In a community where almost 70% of pupils qualify for pupil premium funding, for more than a generation the school has struggled to consistently be the great school it can be, and that its young people, their parents and the community of Alvaston are entitled to.
In the last decade the school has seen periods of real improvement, but progress has often not survived changes in leadership, and positive changes have proved short-lived. In 2021 Alvaston Moor began its latest journey of improvement as part of Archway Learning Trust.
Once again improvement has come – recently recognised by Ofsted – but this time there is no alternative to ensuring that it is sustainable. And more than this, that the school finally delivers on its potential, demonstrates to its community, the city of Derby and the whole world that our children have as much potential as children anywhere.
Do you want to be:
Part of this story?
Part of the team that breaks the cycle of hard-won improvement followed by debilitating turbulence?
Part of the team that delivers on a promise to a community that has never stopped wanting, but might have stopped expecting, the best for their children?
Part of a team serving a community that, put simply, deserve the very best?
If this sounds right for you. If you have the passion, the grit and the resilience to embark on this journey with us and you’re looking to take the next step in your career – we want to hear from you!
