Job overview
Full Time English/Drama or Part Time Teacher of Drama Outer London Pay Scale Required from September 2018
Woodcote High School has long been a top choice for parents in the Coulsdon & Purley area of South London. Located in a pleasant suburban setting on the borders of Surrey, Sutton and Croydon, the school has a rural feel but is officially in the Outer London salary band.
The School has only recently had an Ofsted inspection in March 2018 and again was Judged “good”. Inspectors praised our students as “courteous, respectful and keen to talk about their achievements”.
GCSE results are way above average and A Level results are good. Teachers rate Woodcote as an enjoyable place to work due to the “fabulous students and supportive colleagues”.
We have some flexibility on the role and will therefore consider applications from either:
A full-time teacher who can offer both Drama and English
· A part-time Drama teacher – and can accommodate either 0.5 (equal to 2 ½ days a week) or 0.6 (3 days a week)
·
Applications are welcomed from both experienced teachers (including those who are looking to return to teaching after a career break) and NQTs (the School has an excellent support programme for NQTs). When applying, please clearly state which of the two options above you are interested in.
If you have energy and a passion for your subject then we would like to hear from you. Visits are welcomed so please telephone the school or email l.allen@woodcotehigh.com if you would like to arrange an informal visit or simply a chat before you apply.
You can download all the details and an application form for this post from TES HireWire or www.woodcotehigh.com (click on vacancies button on home page). Alternatively, you can telephone or email the school.
The closing date for applications is no later than noon on Tuesday 22nd May 2018.
We will consider applications as they come in and interview those of interest asap. Applications should therefore be submitted as soon as possible especially if you are currently working in a school with the resignation deadline fast approaching.

Since opening in 1957, Woodcote High School has constantly evolved and grown, whilst remaining at the forefront of educational developments in the area.
Exam results have for many years exceeded national and local averages, delivering a positive Progress 8 score. Other landmark achievements over recent years include significant building projects, the opening of a Sixth Form at the School, the opening of an international standard athletics facility (Track Coulsdon, in conjunction with South London Harriers and other funding partners) and the establishment of the Enhanced Learning Provisionfor mobility impaired students.
Woodcote is a busy community, with lots to offer our students. We encourage students to develop enquiring minds that in turn increases their enthusiasm for enrichment both in and out of the classroom. Those interested in music and performance deliver great seasonal productions, and benefit from a wide range of individual music tuition. Our world-class Track Coulsdon is at the heart of our great sport and PE facilities, and we have a full range of extra-curricular sport.
In the Sixth Form, in addition to the whole school enrichment programme, students have the opportunity to stand for student leadership positions, take part in charity events and lead assemblies for raising awareness on subjects they are passionate about. We also run a series of events where guest speakers are invited into school to speak to the student body.
