We are seeking to appoint a talented and dynamic Teacher of Humanities to join our school in September 2024
James Calvert Spence College is situated in a beautiful coastal town in Northumberland and is a 9-19 through school, catering for

specialist teachers deliver an excellent education in Humanities to years 6-13.
Our pupils and staff are looking for a friendly, motivated, enthusiastic individual who wants to work as part of a team to drive
learning forward. We believe students buy into their teacher first so student relationships form part of our vision, together with
smiles and laughter.
This is an exciting time to join JCSC as we continue our journey towards excellence, and look to build upon excellent GCSE and ALevel outcomes in future years. Staff and governors are fully committed to promoting equal opportunity and an outstanding
educational experience for all students.
You will:
• Be a strong classroom practitioner, looking to make a positive career move in a unique environment.
• Be a positive role model.
• Have high expectations of yourself and others.
• Be someone with a ‘can do’ attitude.
• Be passionate about improving the life chances of our students.
We can offer you:
• Trust and autonomy to ensure you can help lead the department in the right direction to ensure our students have a great
experience.
• Hardworking and well-behaved pupils who are willing to learn
• A supportive, hardworking team of specialist teachers
• A friendly and supportive working environment with a dedicated whole staff team
• Excellent opportunities for professional development, including in-house leadership training delivered by our Assistant

It’s my great pleasure to welcome you to James Calvert Spence College, a 9-19 through school that welcome students from Y5 through to Sixth Form. We’re a relatively small, friendly school that is in the heart of its community in Amble, on the beautiful Northumberland coastline.
Our school was formed by the merger of a middle and a high school, giving a unique educational experience for children in our community. Unlike pupils in many primary schools, our key stage 2 children have access to a fabulous array of facilities that are usually reserved for those in secondary school. These facilities including science labs; an art, fashion and DT suite; PE facilities including generous playing fields, tennis courts, a running track, dance studio, sports hall and climbing wall; and well-equipped classrooms and science laboratories.
We have high aspirations for all our students – we expect them to show determination and a desire to achieve highly and, in return, we offer them unwavering support throughout their years with us. In Key Stage 4 and the Sixth Form, we offer a wide range of GCSE and A-Level courses to make sure that there is a relevant pathway into Higher Education, further training or employment for everyone.
JCSC has improved considerably over the last few years with excellent A-level results and rapidly rising GCSE outcomes. This improvement was validated by Ofsted last summer where we achieved ‘Good’ status for the very first time in the school’s history. We’re very proud of this fact, especially as it was a real team effort – every member of our staff contributed to that judgement, and every member of staff plays their part in ensuring our students are well cared for, feel safe and learn well. We’re a kind and caring school, and our kind and caring staff are pivotal in our continued success. When you join JCSC you join a dedicated and supportive team unlike any other.
The staff and governors of the school are committed to its continuing development and improvement, to ensure that it provides education of the highest quality for all students.
It’s a great place to work or study – feel free to contact us and arrange a visit if you’d like to experience all JCSC has to offer first hand.
