Primary Teacher to work with KS3 Students (Y7 or Y8)

Due to an increase in pupil numbers at our successful academy, we are seeking an inspirational and highly motivated teacher to join our successful and pioneering KS3 Opening Minds team from September 2017.   You will be joining a very well-resourced department with an outstanding local and National reputation. 

This would be an exciting opportunity for an NQT from a KS2 or a middle school setting.  You will be an effective team member whose input will contribute positively to our innovative curriculum practice with students in Y7 or Y8.

The successful candidate must be:

• Committed to making a difference,
• Someone who has high expectations of students and their colleagues,
• Excited about teaching and learning through our skills and competences based curriculum model and
• Keen to teach both KS3 core and humanities subjects.

We will offer you: 

• A positive and innovative learning culture supported by students, staff, parents and governors, 
• Access to The RSA Academies’ Teaching School Alliance which offers high quality training and leadership experiences for all staff.

Our KS4 results for the Summer were excellent: 77%A*- C (Eng & Maths).   

We would welcome applications from NQTs (either primary or middle school trained).

Successful candidates should look forward to working in a challenging and inspiring environment within which there is ample opportunity to lay the foundations for career progression and leadership.   We are committed to ensuring that every member of our school community is enabled to ‘be the best they can be’.
