Deputy Director of Learning for Humanities (with responsibility for RE, PSHE & Citizenship)
Main Pay Scale + TLR 1C
We wish to appoint an exceptional classroom teacher to this post. The Humanities Directorate is forward thinking and very creative. As Deputy Director you will be responsible for RE, PSHE and Citizenship and, you will play a significant role in supporting the Director of Learning with the leadership of this large directorate.
RE is taught to all students in the school and delivers excellent results at GCSE.
We have developed a national and international reputation for our pioneering work to raise standards and ensure that all students, especially the most vulnerable, are able to achieve their full potential. Lyng Hall was the first school to achieve the Achievement for All Quality Mark and Lead School status.
Students flourish in the environment that we have created. We work very closely with parents and seek to resolve all barriers to achievement, whatever and wherever they are. We have a dynamic, positive and talented staff, providing an excellent learning environment for our children.
The school serves a very socio-economically challenging neighbourhood with 50% of the children from ethnic minority groups, particularly Eastern Europe. This diversity is a very positive feature of our school.
CPD at Lyng Hall is good and enhances the careers of colleagues at every stage of their teaching career and clear pathways to leadership are available from day one.
Lyng Hall is part of the Finham Park Multi Academy Trust, which currently comprises three secondary schools and one primary school. There are opportunities for staff to collaborate across the MAT.
If you share our ambition to provide an outstanding education for our pupils, we would welcome an application from you.

Values and vision
Lyng Hall School wants all students to achieve their full potential and achieve high standards in a welcoming and stimulating learning environment. The secondary school works to deliver pupils a broad and balanced curriculum where learning is made enjoyable and where individual talents and skills can develop. It is important for the school that pupils are fully prepared for life after secondary school, and a wide range of careers advice is available throughout each school year, with Year 7 pupils being given an insight into university life, while Year 13 students gain interview practice to prepare them for their future job hunt. Lyng Hall School wants all students to feel valued and treated as individuals, and works to ensure that pupils respect each other, regardless of their differences and beliefs. Lyng Hall school has been awarded the prestigious ‘World Class Schools Quality Mark'. The award demonstrates to parents that their children are participating in opportunities and experiences that will enable their child to flourish and reach their full potential; universities will know that our students are well-rounded and are ready for higher education; businesses will be aware of the capabilities of the brightest potential employees.
Ofsted
Our Ofsted inspection in November 2024 recognised the strengths of the school “Lyng Hall School welcomes everyone. Staff ‘go the extra mile’ to help pupils. They support those who are new to the school well so that they settle quickly into the learning community. Pupils get along with each other. They know who to turn to if they have a concern, and they feel safe.” The school was judged good in all areas except quality of education which requires improvement as published outcomes have not improved rapidly enough.
