Job overview
Could you be the leader who could inspire my students and staff with your love of Mathematics?
As Executive Headteacher, I joined the school on the 1st of January 2018, and our Ofsted took place in my first week in post. The report describes us very well. I encourage you to read it carefully.
We are receiving support from Carnforth High School, which I also oversee and Ripley St Thomas Academy through both the TSA and the new Multi-Academy Trust, The Bay learning Trust. I firmly believe that with two strong local schools supporting us, we will transform life for the staff and students at Morecambe Community High School within an 18 month period.
Morecambe is an area of significant coastal deprivation, with 35% Pupil premium students, a population with a prior attainment just below the national average and a small population of EAL students. These young people need excellent role models and leaders willing to engage with the local culture in which they live.
I am looking for an excellent teacher, who can train and develop others in the Mathematics Faculty: sharing modern pedagogy, exciting lessons and a joy of the subject.
You must be a team player, and enjoy nurturing and developing talent in others.
Potential applicants are warmly invited to visit the school, or telephone to discuss the role informally.
All enquiries are to myself: Mrs Victoria Michael, vmichael@morecam.be
All applications are to my PA: Ms Sue Seal, sseal@morecam.be
Closing Date: 21st May 2018

Values and Vision
The school values are "learn", "believe", "achieve" and "thrive", and staff encourage the students to “Be the best that you can be”. Extracurricular activities are important, with drama, Minecraft, art, music and chess clubs on offer. Morecambe Community is also one of only a few schools in the north-west of England offering outdoor education as part of its curriculum.
Over the years, there have been a number of significant expansions to the school. Its Lawther Library was opened in 2002 and a floodlit pitch that opened in 2009 is used for netball and tennis; the school also has a pitch set up for football and hockey.
Making Morecambe great again
The school benefits from strong local partner schools, supporting it on its improvement journey. We are looking for courageous, talented staff to work with us to rapidly develop a school with great potential!
