Associate Director of Humanities

Please note, this position requires driving.

Fantastic opportunity for a Humanities specialist to work at Senior Leadership level whilst maintaining a focus on the subject you love!

Outwood Grange Academies Trust is one of the highest performing academy trusts in the country – and we’re expanding fast. We are enjoying significant investment from the Department of Education to intervene and tackle underperformance at schools across a number of regions, giving us huge impact on countless young people’s lives.

Our achievements speak for themselves, with most of our academies rated Outstanding and the remainder as Good with Outstanding features.

We are seeking an enthusiastic individual with the drive and vision to deliver excellence in Humanities at a time of changes at GCSE and a rise in importance due to the focus on EBacc subjects. With a clear focus on outstanding outcomes for students, you will ensure effective middle leadership is in place in Humanities throughout the Academies you work in and rapidly raise standards at GCSE. By supporting the delivery of a broad and challenging curriculum, alongside developing intervention strategies at KS4, you will enable every child to reach or exceed their potential. 

You will need the tenacity and integrity to deliver in challenging circumstances and the ability to communicate a vision that inspires, motivates and enthuses staff, children and the community as a whole.

Please contact Kate Wilson, Senior Director of Humanities, on 07850 409366 for an informal discussion, or to arrange a visit to any of our academies.

Closing date: Midday on Tuesday, 20 March 2018.

The Outwood Grange Academies Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. All appointments will be subject to a satisfactory enhanced CRB disclosure.
