Fixed Term Contract to July 2018, part time (0.4 FTE - job share)

Required for January 2018 

Working at Preston Manor means that you benefit from working in a school with a 75 year old reputation for success, whilst also enjoying the excitement and innovation of being part of a new school having recently become an all-through school. Joining us means you are joining an esteemed, outward facing establishment which is currently breaking new ground into its exciting future. We are oversubscribed for places, reflecting the reputation the school has for its academic rigour, inclusive nature and welcoming community. We are proud of our focus on student and staff wellbeing, which is evident from the moment you step into our community. We pride ourselves on having excellent student leadership and high staff-retention rates.

We are looking for an enthusiastic teacher, ideally though not necessarily primary trained, to join the school to teach small groups of students who are not yet achieving their potential in Maths and English. This is a part-time role where you will job share with an experienced teacher and work two days a week. 

You will help develop provision in our established ‘Literacy and Numeracy College’, helping our Year 7 and some of our Year 8 intake to establish themselves as learners in our school. Your goal will be to have a dramatic and positive impact on their progress so that they can not only close the gap in English and Maths, but also successfully access the rest of the curriculum through making accelerated progress.

The successful candidate will join a dynamic and supportive team of English and Maths teachers who are committed to helping our students achieve to the highest level possible, and a school which prioritises the professional development of all its staff.

We offer:

● motivated, enthusiastic and ambitious students

● a friendly and supportive team of teachers

● well-resourced facilities

● a professionally stimulating and collaborative working environment

● a commitment to professional development, including an excellent NQT induction programme

The school is situated within sight of the iconic Wembley Stadium, and provides access to all that Wembley has to offer.
