Job overview
Ackworth School, a co-educational boarding and day school, was founded in 1779 by the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers). It maintains its ethos and traditions and is still governed by the Society. The school is academically non-selective and provides an excellent range of facilities and extra-curricular opportunities. The school is a member of both HMC and Society of Heads.
An opportunity has arisen for suitably qualified, enthusiastic and empathetic individuals to join a team supporting pupils with their learning from years 7 to 11. As our pupils transition from our junior school, Coram House, we continue that excellent support into the senior school with in-class support and out of class interventions. Pupils that join in the senior school are provided with the additional learning support that they need and you will form part of this experienced team in delivering this.
The role is a full time term time only position for 34 teaching weeks.
The closing date for applications is Thursday 14th July 2022 at 9.00am.
Interviews will be held during the summer holidays from the week after.
Application forms should be submitted for the attention of Joanne Colley and sent by email to jobs@ackworthschool.com
Please take time to read the school's recruitment process document in order that you are clear about the process and expectations in line with safer recruitment.

About Ackworth School
For over 240 years we have maintained a passion for exceptional learning and teaching that is non-selective and without judgment of the individual.
Quaker values underpin all that happens on a daily basis in our school community, with an emphasis on acceptance and quiet reflection. ‘Non sibi sed omnibus’, meaning ‘not for oneself but for all’, lies at the heart of school life alongside the Quaker testimonies of simplicity, truth, equality, peace and sustainability. An inherent respect for others and honesty at all times creates a calm, friendly school atmosphere which is supportive and reassuring for young people. Students are encouraged to think creatively, act ethically and with responsibility.
What makes us different?
Set in the beautiful heart of Yorkshire, within easy reach of major UK cities and transport routes, Ackworth School is a place for:
Growth
Ackworth is an all-through school for children, aged two-and-a-half to nineteen years. This stability throughout their educational journey gives pupils outstanding continuity and the opportunity to forge lifelong friendships, creating an environment for increased academic focus and confidence.
Achievement
With an emphasis on individual goal setting and encouragement, the learning journey at Ackworth School enables students to realise outstanding results, often beyond expectation, whilst remaining attentive to the needs of others. When they leave, they are equipped to lead a fulfilled and responsible adult life.
Support
We devote equal time to supporting pupils’ growth and emotional development as to their academic development. We believe that happiness and fulfilment are an integral part of a child’s educational progression.
Peace
Peace is one of the Quaker testimonies, part of everything we do. Whilst most in our community, whether staff or pupils, are from a non-Quaker background, these relevant principles set the foundations for a life based on the belief that every member of the community has equal value.
