From you, we need:

We believe exceptional teachers create exceptional results; they transform lives and transform futures. They support every student to achieve their full potential and become a confident, resilient and compassionate individual who can make a positive contribution to society. 

We believe that exceptional teachers should be supported too, with all the opportunities needed to develop and achieve their goals. 

This is an exciting time in the school’s journey to sustain and develop further as an excellent provider of high-quality education. We are looking for an inspiring individual who is academically well-qualified to degree level (Business Studies and/or ICT and/or computer science), experienced in teaching and learning. 

You will be working with a team whose mission it is to sustain and further develop excellence in everything we do.

Skilled in leading and coaching staff to be successful practitioners, you’ll have made a significant contribution to an academy, including its leadership, student outcomes and ethos. The communication skills and confidence to develop rich partnerships with families and the community will be essential.
