We would like to hear from you if you feel you can make a difference, supporting our school on a journey to change. We will support you to develop your career and grow your skills, as you coach and lead colleagues to progress their practice.

In return for your hard work and commitment we will provide:

George Pindar School is a school where teachers make a difference every day to the life chances of its students. The Governors and Headteacher are ambitious for every one of its students.

The Headteacher and Senior Leadership team work hard to support and develop all our staff. We are keen to receive applications from teachers with a range of experience and skills and are happy to consider applicants who may have only been teaching for a few years or equally those with more experience. You will be creative in your approach, able to teach Geography and History at Key Stage 3 and preferably both Geography & History at Key Stage 4 and be keen to develop and share new ideas with a key focus on student attainment.

We are a small 11-16 Community Comprehensive School located on the edge of the popular town of Scarborough, we're located less than 5 minutes from the A64 and are easily accessible from York. Scarborough is a renowned Spa town with great shopping and attractive coastal walkways. We're located only 10 minutes' drive from the North Yorkshire Moors offering leisure activities aplenty - it is a great place to live and work.

"The new headteacher has a clear and ambitious vision for the school. He is taking effective steps to get the school on track." (Ofsted 2017)

George Pindar School is situated on the south-side of the seaside town of Scarborough, surrounded by the Yorkshire Wolds and Moors.

Curriculum:
We have a curriculum for success, which supports our students on one of three learning pathways.  Each pathway is designed to provide stretch and challenge as well as support where it is needed.  For example, our middle pathway allows students to follow a balanced curriculum of GCSEs with some high value vocational qualifications, but has additional literacy and numeracy support built in.

As a result, our students are enthusiastic,  respond well to staff and are  increasingly successful.

Learning:
Learning is central to all we do and we expect all our students to progress well as a result of effective and engaging teaching.  A key aspect of any Head of Faculty’s role is working with their colleagues to ensure that learning in their area is as good as it can be.

CPD:
We believe it is essential to invest in the development of staff.  While we offer the opportunity to participate in specialist external CPD, we are increasingly focused on sharing best practice within school via our Teaching and Learning Group and our Coaching initiative.  We believe this is the key to ensuring everyone plays a part in the school’s success and development.
