Job overview
We encourage you to read our website very carefully and familiarise yourself with our 2014 Ofsted report, our prospectus, candidate information pack and application form for the post. What will be clear to you is that you are applying to an extremely successful school and one with a decidedly clear ethos of achievement. The school’s results place it in the top 10% of schools nationally. We moved, in November 2012, into a brand new £80 million school. The school became an Academy in September 2013 and was recognised by the Department for Education as a Teaching School in 2015. The school is committed to developing its teachers and to fostering the development of outstanding teaching. The school is not part of a multi-academy trust and teachers enjoy the benefits of a small and personalised community which is committed to creating careers for people. The school is experienced in supporting NQTs and indeed enjoys this aspect of staff development but it has had equal success in fostering the careers of colleagues who join having taught in other schools.
Teachers provide outstanding English teaching, much is driven, accomplished and dynamic. There are generous resources and all teachers have their own classroom which benefits from a range of interactive technology and brand new teaching resources. English colleagues benefit from the participation in the Prince’s Teaching Institute and their professional development is supported by an Assistant Headteacher. English is popular with students and there are several AS/A2 teaching groups.
An application form and Candidate Information Pack is available from the school’s website: http://www.hollandparkschool.co.uk/school/train-and-teach-with-us.
Early application is encouraged as we will seek to interview and appoint of receipt.
