Job overview

We are looking for a passionate and inspiring, well-qualified Head of Humanities to join our supportive and talented team. We are a growing organisation looking for professional and ambitious people with a passion for transforming our students’ learning.

This is a fixed-term contract post to replace our current Head of Humanities as she takes up a promoted position elsewhere. A TLR Allowance 2B (£4,785 per annum) is offered with this opportunity. The end date of this FTC will be December 2023.

The department consists of six teachers, and take up at GCSE is strong. We are committed to continuing to enhance our improvements and engagement across Humanities to ensure that our outcomes in Bucket 2 continue to rise and become at least on par with Bucket 3 outcomes sitting at +0.54.

Our teachers support a designated cohort of students to make progress in their learning, engagement, core literacy, language and numeracy skills, and social development. This is achieved through taking responsibility for the learning of students – planning, delivering, facilitating and assessing their learning whilst showing ambition to develop as an outstanding teacher and leader.

You will plan and deliver sessions and interventions and provide a point of accountability, coordination and liaison for the students in their attendance, for their families and for professionals working with them. You will work towards typically good and outstanding lessons that achieve good student progress over time. This will be actioned by taking an active role in supporting the Academy’s high expectations of student behaviour and attitudes towards learning.

The Weston-super-Mare secondary school supports students skills and talents and wants to develop their environmental, social and community responsibility. The secondary school has the motto: “Ready to Learn – Ready to Teach – Ready to Lead” and wants pupils to leave prepared for the next stage of their education or start of their career.

Ofsted   

“Most teachers create a positive, calm and encouraging atmosphere in their classes and work hard at planning activities, which are supported well by resources that interest and engage the students. High quality display work is particularly effective in promoting a learning environment conducive to work. The behaviour of students around the academy and in lessons is good. Students are polite and courteous to one another, to staff and to visitors. A significant strength of lessons is the good relationships between teachers and students and between different groups of students who support in each other in small-group and pair work”.
