Job overview
Are you keen to contribute to the leadership of an innovative and exciting school?
We are seeking an experienced Health and Social Care teacher to lead our specialist pathways in Health and Social Care in our exciting new school.
There are significant Sixth Form leadership opportunities beyond the specialism available for the right applicant too, but our main concern is to appoint someone who can develop outstanding provision within the pathway.
Opened by its sponsor academy QES as a free school and part of the Lunesdale Learning Trust, QEStudio specialises in the technical learning needed by the local communities of our beautiful South Lakeland. Our teachers work closely with local employers and professional partners to construct and deliver the curriculum to give our students unique opportunities to put their learning into context. We have over 300 local employers and organisations who support us to deliver our six main specialisms, including Health.
Our Health and Social Care courses are popular and recruit well at KS4 and 5 whilst our Criminology course is very popular at KS5. The successful applicant would lead and deliver our Health pathways, whilst overseeing the work of colleagues delivering Criminology. This small department of dedicated and experienced staff needs a talented and supportive leader capable of ensuring the highest quality learning experiences for students and working with the leadership of QEStudio to uphold the very distinctive ethos of our extraordinary school. The department will be accommodated in specialist facilities in our brand-new school building when we move into it in September 2019. You would be joining us at a very exciting time.
Applications are welcomed from well-qualified and highly motivated individuals who are keen to work with remarkable young people providing an exceptional education for all.
If you wish to apply, please complete all sections of the 'Quick Apply' application form by 12 noon on Tuesday 7th May 2019. In your supporting statement we would like you to include:
• an outline of your relevant experience
• a discussion of the personal and professional qualities which you believe suit you for this post
• a statement as to why this particular job appeals to you
We hope to hold interviews during the week commencing 13th May.
We would encourage potential applicants to read all the Applicant Pack and to browse our websites to get a fuller flavour of life at this very special place.
You are welcome to come and have a look around and talk to a member of our leadership team too by arrangement.
By all means contact us if you would like to know more : principal@qestudio.org.uk .

About Queen Elizabeth School
About Queen Elizabeth School
Queen Elizabeth School (QES), Kirkby Lonsdale, is an 11-18 co-ed, non-denominational, all ability school with a sister school, QEStudio, with its own building. We serve a large, prosperous and beautiful area of South Lakeland, North Yorkshire and North Lancashire. Although a rural school, we are only 6 miles from the M6 and well connected to main line train stations, which helps explain the outward-looking vibrancy of Kirkby Lonsdale.
Queen Elizabeth School dates back to 1591 when we were granted our charter to provide ‘Scholarship and Care’, a promise we continue to deliver well into the 21st century.
In September 2017 QES developed as the Lunesdale Learning Trust to incorporate a new Free School, the QEStudio providing high quality professional, technical and vocational learning to over 300 14-18 year-olds. This is an innovative and exciting aspect of our provision in Key Stage 4 and 5 it is proving to be extremely popular with pupils and parents.

Values and vision
Most significantly the Trust is founded on core values which underpin and inform the life of the schools and promote our sense of community. These include the focus on encouraging global citizenship, remembering that life is about more than material things, looking out for others, and thinking of others who are less fortunate.
Ofsted report
"This outstanding school fully lives up to its ancient motto of ‘Scholarship and Care’. The excellence that the school achieves results from the equal emphasis given to each of these aspects of its work. Parents and students are overwhelming in their praise of the school and many count themselves fortunate to be a part of it. Pressure for places is high because of the school’s excellent reputation in the locality and further afield."
