Job overview
"Are you looking to guide, mentor, nurture and teach the next Dragon?"
We believe our specialist Business and Enterprise College status has helped us to raise standards of achievement and progress by opening up greater opportunities for student and staff development, alongside the provision of improved facilities.
We are committed to developing a 'can-do' culture of enterprise within the school and also within our wider school community. Our concept of enterprise education is strongly linked to our values and ethos and has, at its centre, a commitment to the development of transferable skills amongst our students. This is demonstrated through strong links with the community and local businesses, and the development of innovative and engaging teaching methods amongst our staff. Two of the most significant curriculum decisions based upon our ethos of Business and Enterprise are:
- The introduction of a subject-based skills development programme through the CIRCLE skills initiative:
- Communication, Interpersonal, Research, Creative, Learning, Effective Self-Managers. Teachers now regularly build these important work-related skills into their lesson planning.
Enhanced Learning Days are whole-day events where the curriculum is collapsed. These days are designed to broaden our students' curriculum diet and provide opportunities to demonstrate, develop andapply their CIRCLE skills and subject knowledge in different contexts.
Here at Amersham School we are committed to empowering all students to achieve their full potential. We work tirelessly to provide the relevant provision for all students to enable individual success and to ensure that all students feel valued and are making progress. We also encourage all staff to have a voice as we can't continue to grow and improve our school without this valuable insight - "LIVE, LEARN and SUCCEED TOGETHER"
Please look through our recruitment pack to get a better understanding of the position.
The closing date for applications is Friday 29th May with interviews being held within two weeks
