Job overview
Set in beautiful grounds and surrounding countryside, and within easy reach of the historic cathedral city of Salisbury, the New Forest, and the spectacular Jurassic coast, Avon Valley College is ideally located in the south of Wiltshire.
Avon Valley College is the one secondary school within our multi-academy trust. It is much valued by its mixed civilian-military community. As part of the rebasing of troops from Germany, all local schools will see a rise in population between now and 2020. Owing to the doubling in size from 600 to 1150-1200, Wiltshire Council is in the process of a phased building programme to bring 18 new purpose-built classrooms to Avon Valley College. The Trust intends that phased programme to continue in order to refresh and renew the entire estate.
The school has undergone a significant period of change in the last year and standards are now rapidly climbing. Results this year were significantly better than in 2017 across the board. However, 2018-19 is a critical year in our journey, and we are looking for strong leadership to capitalise on the momentum we have built.
We are looking to appoint an enthusiastic teacher to join our team. We offer excellent professional development opportunities and career acceleration for those who are aspiring to middle leadership.
The successful applicant will have a track record for outstanding outcomes and will possess the necessary skills to consistently deliver on high quality lessons at Key Stages 3, 4 and 5.
