Assistant Curriculum Lead - English

Assistant Curriculum Lead - English - Full Time - Start date 1st September 2021 - MPS/UPS plus TLR2A

Atherton High School would like to appoint an outstanding teacher to join the English Department and to deliver a high-quality English curriculum at Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4.

Atherton High is a school on the move and the successful candidate will join the school at a very exciting point of its transition.  The school sits at the heart of the town’s community and has gone through transformational change in the past 18 months.  It has recently joined the Educational Partnership Trust (EPT) and is over subscribed for the first time in its history.

At Atherton we care deeply about the development of staff and firmly believe in extensive CPD for all.  Not only do senior and middle leaders have a vested interest in developing all staff but all teachers invest time in each other, with a real community sense but also with a great deal of fun!

Staff welfare is a strength at Atherton; we do not have a mere checklist approach but a genuine human touch to caring for our staff.  Without great staff who are committed to our pupils, we can never achieve our goal of a world class education for the young people of Atherton.

We would like someone who:

• Can work within the Middle Leadership Team to develop the overall direction of the department and school.
• Will keep up to date with current issues in teaching and learning and in school improvement, and to share this with staff.
• Will work in partnership with the SLT in the cycle of planning, implementation, review and evaluation of the Department Improvement Plan.
• Will contribute to the setting of highly ambitious targets for pupils and staff, and to be accountable in their delivery within the department.

We can offer:

• Extensive CPD
• Being part of a growing multi academy trust
• Teachers pension scheme

If this sounds like you, we would welcome your application.

Closing date:        24th May 2021

Interview date:      27th May 2021
