Lead Teacher - Science

Permanent - Full Time

L1-L9 (a 5 point range, depending on experience)

September 2021 start or earlier by arrangement

We are seeking to appoint an inspirational Lead Teacher to work within the Education Improvement Team, deployed directly into academies, taking responsibility for the quality of individual subject provision and delivery, curriculum teaching and assessment. You will be a proven outstanding teacher who is passionate about their subject – experience as a Head of Faculty or Subject is not essential.

Working alongside our team of experienced Trust Subject Directors, you will be deployed in 2 or 3 of our Academies during the academic year, playing a crucial part in raising standards and outcomes through the delivery of your excellent practice. You will also help students make up for vital lost learning time during the pandemic. In addition, you will support your subject colleagues through coaching and CPD. There may eventually be an opportunity to progress to the future role of Trust Subject Director.

You will be an outstanding and inspirational teacher, with a track record of excellent results and will have the potential to embed good practice and build capacity. We require a colleague who is committed to high standards of learning and student progress, who can help our students to reach their potential. You will enjoy access and support from our family of schools, professional learning from our high performing Teaching School and also innovation and evidence informed practice from our Research Schools.

SAT is an educational charity, Multi-Academy Trust and Sponsor of Academies. We have approaching 16000 children and young people in our academies and employ more than 2200 teachers, leaders and educational support professionals across the East Midlands. We aspire to be a leading regional high performing Trust, with a national reputation for excellence.

We currently have 14 primary academies, 8 secondary academies and one primary aged special school in our family of schools. A further primary school is on schedule to join us as a sponsored academy over the course of 2021, and we are opening two new Free Schools in September 2021, and a Secondary Free School in 2023. All of our schools share our values and beliefs, and benefit from the collaboration and added value that being a member of our Trust offers.

SAT also is a registered provider of Apprenticeships, leads the Derby Research School and has recently been designated as a Regional Teaching School Hub.

Spencer Trust academies share an ambition to deliver results that compete with the very highest performing schools in the country, and deliver a curriculum for students that is underpinned by breadth, opportunity and quality: one that seeks to give young people the opportunity to develop into well rounded global citizens that believe they can influence positive change in the world.

Mission:

Our Mission is to deliver the best possible outcomes for children and young people.

Vision:

Spencer Academies Trust is an exceptional Trust, providing an outstanding education for local children.

We Believe:

All children have a right to a quality education regardless of background or ability, and have an entitlement to the opportunity of a secure progression route in their learning and development.

Schools are stronger when they work in collaboration with each other, operate within a ‘family’ and are open to a true sense of partnership.

We grow the effectiveness and sustainability of our schools by developing the people within them, and that through shared and equitable responsibility for quality and outcomes; we achieve more.”
