Key Stage Coordinator Science

Thank you for your interest in joining us as a Key Stage Coordinator Midhurst Rother College.

We are seeking to appoint a highly skilled colleague to join our successful and friendly school for September 2024 or as soon as possible.  We are very proud of our community at Midhurst. Our students chose our values of respect, happiness and achievement and everything we do in school is seen through that lens. We are an 11-19 United Learning Academy with a roll of 1124, including 120 in Key Stage 5. The College is currently oversubscribed and we are expecting our student numbers to grow over the next three years to over 1350.

Midhurst Rother College is an outstanding (Ofsted, May 2013) school situated in a modern, eye-catching and fantastic building – there really are very few schools quite like it. We are situated in the South Downs National Park in the beautiful and picturesque village of Midhurst, with easy transport links to Chichester (25 minutes) Portsmouth (35 minutes), Guildford (30 minutes) and Worthing (45 minutes). Brighton is under an hour away from us.

We are looking for Key Stage Coordinators for both Key Stage 3 and 5 to work alongside the Director of Science and lead the curriculum development and support the Teaching & Learning within the area.

A Coordinator of a Key Stage is a high profile staff member and will be pivotal in Academy wide operational working. These individuals will be visible in day-to-day Academy business and will also play an important role in its growing wider life.

The post will have clear responsibilities and accountabilities which will evolve as the Academy develops and changes.

A key purpose of the Key Stage Coordinator role is to develop an environment which secures outstanding outcomes in all areas of the Key Stage. A Key Stage Coordinator will not only set an excellent example but will help create an Academy model that promotes and ensures the highest standards of leadership, management, achievement and behaviour.

As a United Learning academy whose motto is ‘The Best in Everyone’ you will be someone who wants the very best for all young people, irrespective of their background. Honesty, respect and trust are important to us, as is being prepared to learn and take on new challenges. We know that no one is the ‘finished article’ and we strive to do our best for our students every day. We are a welcoming school and if you join us, you will experience our ‘no blame’ culture, where everyone works together for the good of the students. It is essential that you have a restless determination and belief that all students can and will perform to the highest level.
