Job overview

Full Time Teacher of Drama  Outer London Pay Scale  Required from September 2017  

Woodcote High School has long been a top choice for parents in the Coulsdon & Purley area of South London. Located in a pleasant suburban setting on the borders of Surrey, Sutton and Croydon, the school has a rural feel but is officially in the Outer London salary band.

Judged “good” by Ofsted in 2015 in all areas, inspectors praised our students as “attentive, hardworking and practically always keen to learn. They get down to work fast and keep going diligently”.

GCSE results are way above average and A Level results are good. Teachers rate Woodcote as an enjoyable place to work due to the “fabulous students and supportive colleagues”.

We are seeking an enthusiastic and highly motivated teacher of Drama to join our thriving department. The department has a history of outstanding success, both with formal examinations and extra-curricular provision. We are looking for a creative and innovative teacher to join our successful team in taking the department forward in this well-resourced department. 

Initially this would be for a one-year contract. Applications are welcomed from both experienced teachers (including those who are looking to return to teaching after a career break) and NQTs (the School has an excellent support programme for NQTs).  There is a chance that we may be able to accommodate someone who would prefer part-time, please indicate this clearly on your application.

If you have energy and a passion for your subject then we would like to hear from you. Visits are encouraged so please telephone the school or email l.allen@woodcotehigh.com if you would like to arrange an informal visit or simply a chat before you apply.

You can download all the details and an application form for this post from TES HireWire or www.woodcotehigh.com (click on vacancies button on home page). Aternatively you can telephone or email the school. 

Applications to be submitted as soon as possible but no later than noon on Monday 8th May 2017. Please note that applications may be processed in the order they are received. Applications before the deadline are therefore strongly encouraged.

About Woodcote High School

Since opening in 1957, Woodcote High School has constantly evolved and grown, whilst remaining at the forefront of educational developments in the area.

Exam results have for many years exceeded national and local averages, delivering a positive Progress 8 score. Other landmark achievements over recent years include significant building projects, the opening of a Sixth Form at the School, the opening of an international standard athletics facility (Track Coulsdon, in conjunction with South London Harriers and other funding partners) and the establishment of the Enhanced Learning Provisionfor mobility impaired students.

Woodcote is a busy community, with lots to offer our students. We encourage students to develop enquiring minds that in turn increases their enthusiasm for enrichment both in and out of the classroom. Those interested in music and performance deliver great seasonal productions, and benefit from a wide range of individual music tuition. Our world-class Track Coulsdon is at the heart of our great sport and PE facilities, and we have a full range of extra-curricular sport.

In the Sixth Form, in addition to the whole school enrichment programme, students have the opportunity to stand for student leadership positions, take part in charity events and lead assemblies for raising awareness on subjects they are passionate about. We also run a series of events where guest speakers are invited into school to speak to the student body.
