Job overview

Excellent English & Magnificent Maths Teacher?

Required from: September 2018

Teacher of English & Maths 

MPS/UPS

1 year contract initially for the 2018-19 academic year

Our aspiration is to be great in all that we do.  Are you a great teacher or aspire to be one?  If so, Preston School is the right school for you!

We are looking for an excellent teacher with vision and drive to join our enterprising school. The role will be focused upon delivering better academic outcomes for our lower-ability KS3 students and as such the role may suit a primary-trained colleague. 

We are a Business & Enterprise Academy that aspires to embody our strapline of ‘Bringing Learning to Life & Life to Learning’ for every student every day. We place a large emphasis on the development of character and personality of our students, alongside a relentless drive for improving progress in all of the subjects that they study. 

We aim to be GREAT in everything that we do. Our student body are wonderful to work with and visitors to the school regularly comment upon the great learning environment within the school, personified by the excellent relationships between students and staff.  We firmly believe in the core BASICs that the students are asked to follow, and we recognise that teaching is made easier when students are engaged with their learning - as ours are.

The role is a new and exciting one and is designed to support our KS3 students in making the best academic progress that they can in English & Maths. This will be in small teaching groups and also intervention sessions, where students are withdrawn from lessons to improve specific aspects of their learning which will in turn benefit their progress in every subject. 

We would love to receive your application if you are:

  • passionate about teaching and aspire for Preston School to be GREAT
  • dedicated to enhancing the learning and lives of our students
  • ambitious with high expectations of all, including yourself 
  • an excellent team member with the capacity to work across the department & the school
  • committed to continually improving as a teacher and a person

Closing date: 9am on Tuesday 26th June 2016
