Head of Business Innovation

Are you an enthusiastic and motivated teacher?

Are you ready to lead the future development of key subject areas within our curriculum?

We are seeking to appoint a suitably qualified professional who is both passionate, knowledgeable and willing to lead the development of Business Studies and support the future development of other subjects including Law and Health & Social Care. The successful candidate will need to be an excellent teacher of Business Studies who is also prepared to support the continuing development of subjects including Law and Health & Social Care. This post will include a subject leadership responsibility (TLR 1a), in subjects with strong uptake in examination courses with potential for further growth in the future. The school has been rated as ‘Excellent’ in our recent SIAMs inspection and ‘Good’ by Ofsted in each of its last three inspections, most recently in January 2023:  “Blue Coat Church of England Academy is an inclusive school where kindness flourishes. The school’s values include wisdom, service, endurance and hope. The school’s culture is rooted in these values. There are positive relationships between staff and pupils. Staff know their pupils well, and pupils feel cared for. Staff have high expectations, and pupils live up to these.”

Blue Coat Church of England Academy is one of the oldest educational establishments in Walsall, is well-respected and valued by the community it serves. We operate on a very collaborative approach to school improvement working with a range of other schools and nationally recognised trainers. The school is very proud of the family ethos which pervades all aspects of its work, which is grounded in Christian values. The school has recently been awarded the Rights Respecting Schools Silver Award, demonstrating our commitment to embedding the principles of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child into our ethos and curriculum.
