Job overview
We wish to appoint from September 2019 a well-qualified, enthusiastic and committed Teacher of Business Studies.
The post is permanent and full-time or part-time (0.6 minimum). It is an excellent opportunity for either an experienced or newly qualified teacher willing to join and contribute to a popular and successful Business Studies Department.
This is an excellent opportunity to join one of Oxfordshire’s largest and most successful schools judged ‘Outstanding’ in the latest Ofsted report. The school is situated in a pleasant campus over two sites. Students are well-behaved and motivated and there is a strong sense of community in Thame, with a committed parent support base.
We are exceptionally strong in terms of pastoral support for all students and have the highest expectations for individual achievement whatever the starting points. Outside the classroom there are wonderful extra-curricular activities for all. Students leave the school successful and well-rounded individuals. There is a ‘buzz’ about learning in the school and our students are fortunate to be supported in their learning by dedicated teachers and support staff. Staff training and professional development are always a developmental priority and many of our staff move on to promotions in other schools.
Business Studies courses are taught within the Humanities faculty which provides a wide range of courses throughout the school. The faculty also includes courses in Economics, Geography, Government and Politics, History, Religious Studies, Sociology, and at Key Stage 3 pupils study Humanities as an integrated subject. A large number of students follow examination courses in subjects within the faculty, at GCSE, A level and diploma levels.
