TEACHER OF BUSINESS/ECONOMICS

0.3 - 0.5FTE MPS/UPS

From January 2018


We are looking for an inspirational teacher of Business Studies and Economics to join our successful and strong team of enthusiastic, energetic and passionate staff. Business and Economics is taught within the Faculty of Technology and Enterprise and is well organised, increasingly popular and successful. Our Class of 2017 outcomes were strong and are improving. Students start their Business journey from Year 9 as part of their foundations for GCSE, and all students complete a module of Financial Literacy during an enrichment carousel. At KS4 we offer AQA Business and at KS5 we offer both Business and Economics. 

We will be flexible to recruit the right person. Whether you have experience or are new to the profession, we would like to hear from you. This is an excellent opportunity for any teacher looking to work in an exciting team and contribute to a changing curriculum. The opportunity for teaching other subjects do exist, particularly in Computing and Geography. We take pride in our happy and supportive team with a strong emphasis on professional learning. We will help you to achieve real excellence in your work. The department is well resourced and we have an excellent reputation for enhancing our learners experience beyond their studies, as exemplified by our recent successes in the Young Enterprise programme. 

Wheatley Park is situated just outside the City of Oxford, and is a vibrant and supportive school with a track record of improvement and innovation in recent years. In June 2016 the school was graded “Good’ by Ofsted, with much positive feedback. We are a Google Reference School with creative and innovative practice in the use of computers and IT in the classroom. All students have access to their own personal chromebook in order to support their learning.

We have a mixed rural and urban intake and we are well supported by our community, who recognise the considerable improvements that have taken place in recent years. Our students are happy at school and motivated to succeed, and our staff work well together, providing a collaborative and professional ethos.
