Head of Year + TLR 2B

Churchmead is a mixed, 11-16 Church of England School welcoming students of all faiths, situated on a 23-acre green belt site in the picturesque Thames side village of Datchet near Windsor in Berkshire.

We are a comparatively small secondary school in which every student is known as an individual. Our values of Courage, Compassion and Commitment are at the heart of the school. Churchmead is committed to becoming an outstanding school following our most recent inspection in which all areas were judged as good.

We are looking to appoint a Head of Year to inspire and motivate students to sustain high levels of achievement and develop a good attitude to learning, behaviour and attendance.

We are looking for a teacher and emerging leader with the vision and drive to further raise standards for our students.  It would be extremely advantageous to have previous experience of teaching PE, RE or Maths.

The person appointed will be responsible for the academic progress and welfare of a designated year group along with overseeing one of our four houses.  They will lead and manage a team of adults.  As a middle leader within the school, the Head of Year will have whole school responsibility for a key area.  

In particular, we are seeking an individual who:  

• Is a dynamic and proactive individual who will support students in making excellent progress, have excellent behaviour and excellent attendance

• Will proactively work with senior leaders to regularly analyse behaviour and academic data relating to the performance of the year group and identify individuals that need intervention or support and implement strategies to address this

• Will play a leading role in terms of supporting the development of Academic Mentoring to ensure it is raising the standards of behaviour and academic achievement 

• Will strive to implement effective approaches which support and engage our most challenging students          

• Will strive to implement effective strategies to rapidly improve and maintain high levels of attendance             

• Will be proactive in engaging parents      

The successful candidate will also be:  

• Passionate about developing their own career

• Driven to keep up to date with the latest teaching and learning research and literature       

• To be considered for any post you will also need to hold Qualified Teacher Status (QTS).
