Job overview
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an outstanding teacher to join our thriving and successful Trust to teach Drama in Key Stages 3 and 4 at Langdon Academy. Whilst we’re offering a TLR for a suitably experienced and successful candidate, we’d be keen to consider an exceptional NQT whose practice will clearly strengthen our team.
The Drama department plays an important and dynamic part in the cultural life of the school, as well as making a vital contribution to the development of each child and to our GCSE exam success. This is therefore a golden opportunity to strengthen our team further with the arrival of a new, talented and enthusiastic Drama specialist. If that sounds like you, we’d be keen to hear from you. With excellent support from senior colleagues and an impressive suite of state-of-the-art Drama studios, the stage is really set for impressive performance in every regard.
Langdon Academy is a 3-16 school, sponsored by Brampton Manor Trust. We work in close partnership with Brampton Manor Academy (an outstanding 11-18 Academy), which is the other school within our multi-academy trust (MAT). There is great spirit, energy and optimism in the school since joining the MAT in 2014 which has led to substantial improvements and successes in every aspect of school life, placing the school slightly above the national average for Progress 8 and substantially above for the English Baccalaureate. However, this is by no means sufficient, given the potential of our students.
All indicators paint a picture of a rapidly improving school, but we are not complacent.
This is an excellent time to join Langdon Academy and Brampton Manor Trust, providing great opportunities for further development, within and beyond the formal curriculum, including working with children in our Primary phase (e.g. Julius Caesar in Shakespeare in School Festival 2016).
Please visit our websites at www.bramptonmanor.org or www.langdon.newham.sch.uk to apply and obtain further details about this role. All completed application forms must be sent by email to jobs@bramptonmanor.org.
Brampton Manor Trust is committed to the safeguarding of children. Enhanced DBS checks will always be carried out on new employees.
