English Teacher

We are a forward-thinking Academy based in Weston-super-Mare, providing education to 600 students at KS3/KS4. Our children are excited to learn, are real ambassadors for our diverse community and benefit from a hugely positive and supportive learning environment. 

We are part of the Cabot Learning Federation (CLF) which is one of only 30 National Maths Hubs and is the largest non-diocesan academy group in the South West. The CLF currently sponsors 16 academies including Secondary Schools, Primaries and a studio school catering for students aged 14 to 19. 

An outstanding practitioner, you will be QTS qualified and able to teach KS3 and KS4 English. The role will see you taking responsibility for the learning of allocated groups of students by planning, delivering, facilitating and assessing their learning, as well as responsibility for your professional learning and development by taking part in the Academy performance management process, and attending INSET and CPD sessions as required. With the support of the College Leader for a learning family, you will support students through academic mentoring and PSHE sessions and on Learning Review days as required and contribute to enrichment activities within the Academy.

We wish to appoint a highly committed professional with a high level of emotional intelligence who:

• is keen to create something unique and move beyond expectations in learning for life;
• shares our passion to deliver an outstanding student experience; 
• has the ability to deliver outstanding results;
• is an excellent communicator;
• will be innovative, creative and flexible in your approach to achieve the best results. 

The CLF will provide you with a hugely positive and supportive learning environment, and the opportunity to participate in both Academy and pan-federation professional development from a wide network of high-quality education professionals.
