Job overview

We are looking to appoint an exceptional practitioner, with extensive Key Stage 2 experience, who is seeking a new challenge in a secondary academy setting. Ensuring that all of our Key Stage 3 students can access our curriculum offer is of the utmost importance. This new venture will allow the successful candidate to help create and deliver a bespoke ‘academic intervention’ programme to a select group of year 7 students who require additional support to make the transition from Key Stage 2. This programme is not a behavioural intervention/isolation programme but an opportunity for selected students to accelerate their learning and return to the mainstream curriculum.

The successful candidate is required to have extensive knowledge of the Key Stage 2 curriculum, particularly Numeracy and Literacy, with the ability to also deliver a range of Humanities content.

As a lead practitioner, the successful candidate will play a crucial role in ensuring continuity between the primary and secondary programme of study across the academy. They will also have the opportunity to work with other Lead Practitioners to ensure high quality curriculum delivery and CPD across the academy.

The Streetly Academy offers a unique blend of tradition and future, seeking the highest standards of behaviour and appearance, whilst maintaining an emphasis on harnessing technologies, and exploring every avenue in improving teaching, learning, and assessment.

We are proud of our sport specialism, and make every effort to ensure all students are given the opportunity to develop and progress, in terms of health and leadership, via the avenue of PE and Sport.  This links closely to our PRIDE values, which are based on the Olympic and Paralympic values.

We can offer you;

• A considerate employer with regard for your well-being and family priorities

• A health care plan to cover some of the costs of keeping you well such as dental, physio and  eye care, with the addition of counselling and fast track to consultant appointments should you be carrying the worry of a health scare

• Excellent professional development / guidance and opportunities to progress through our extensive CPD program

• Every member of staff and student is equipped with a Chromebook device to aid innovative teaching and reduce workload

• Friendly and supportive colleagues

• Students that are helpful, with good manners and take pride in their appearance.

• A wide variety of clubs, trips, events and opportunities

• Free onsite parking and access to our onsite gym and padel tennis courts.

We are looking for;

• An innovative, enthusiastic team player who has a passion for teaching and an ability to bring it to life in the classroom

• An individual who can contribute in developing a range of activities and strategies to strengthen teaching and learning across the school

• A practitioner that can support and coach staff in developing and extending their pedagogic repertoire

• A practitioner who can model best practice in ensuring lessons are well differentiated, providing for the least able.

• The successful candidate must be able to demonstrate a historic track record of high performance and demonstrate the capacity to share their practice more widely.

• A teacher with a continued commitment to their own professional development

Applications are welcomed from experienced teachers and the successful applicant will be supported by an excellent department.

Interviews to be held week commencing 17 May 2021.

The Streetly Academy will develop its students and staff, and working with parents, enable our PRIDE values in everything we do.

The Streetly Academy is a 1500 strong, 11-18 Sports College in the heart of the community. Streetly Academy enjoys an enviable reputation as a school that not only produces high levels of academic achievement, but also focuses on developing rounded and grounded young people. There are currently 1517 students on roll including 229 in the Sixth Form.

Staff well-being is at the centre of our operations. We have a low staff turnover, significantly below the national average, and a staff absence rate of nearly half that of schools nationally. This is because we look after our staff, including a health care plan for every employee to cover some of the costs of keeping you well for services such as dental, physio, and eye care, with the addition of counselling and fast track to consultant appointments should you be carrying the worry of a health scare. The cost of this plan is covered by the school.

There are 2 things that drive us at The Streetly Academy, Values and Achievement. We have adopted the Olympic Values that sit at the very centre of everything we do. Personal Excellence, Respect and Friendship, Inspiration, Determination and Courage, and Equality (PRIDE) are values that are universally shared, and help our students maximise their achievement. Not only are we proud of our results, we are equally proud of our well-mannered, helpful, and well-presented students.

We have an extensive Duke of Edinburgh Awards scheme, Sports Leaders programmes and a highly effective Pupil Leadership Team whose views are sought on everything from senior staff appointments to improvements in teaching and learning. Via our pupil engagement strategy, we successful enable our students to lead and take responsibility on a wide variety of issues, from learning spaces to gardens, e-learning to the environment.

Our attractive site boasts superb facilities, particularly in the area of our sports specialism, with a a full-size synthetic turf pitch, 4 court sports hall, gym and fitness area, dance studio, swimming pool, and now the country’s first and only school based Padel Tennis facility. We are particularly proud of the contribution our Sixth Form Students make to the life of the school.

At Streetly, all teaching staff and every student has access to a one-to-one device, a Google Chromebook. Central to our school ethos of developing 21st century learners, our reputation for being leaders in using technologies for education is both national and international.

Pastorally, students are organised in year groups and are also members of one of five houses.  This has improved pastoral staff impact on raising academic achievement. Students are taught in mixed ability groups in Foundation subjects and are set according to ability in Core subjects, MFL and PE.

The Streetly Academy is located on the border between Sutton Coldfield and Walsall, about 8 miles from central Birmingham. We are situated adjacent to Sutton Park, one of the largest urban parks in Europe at just over 900 hectares, with a mix of heath land, wetlands and marshes, seven lakes and extensive woodlands. The park boasts a handful of quality restaurants, two 18-hole golf courses, a number of children’s playgrounds, a visitors’ centre and even a donkey sanctuary!
