At Queen Katharine Academy the Business, Economics and Finance team pride ourselves on the excellent progress our students make. These excellent results have seen our numbers grow and we now need a new member of the team so we can deliver to more young people.  

With our vision of achievement for all, positive relationships and culture, a can do attitude fostering success, we are looking to appoint a passionate, dedicated and enthusiastic teacher to join our established and flourishing department. Our students are at the heart of everything we do, and by constantly seeking to be the best, we are confident that we are making a difference to student’s lives and future careers, through the opportunities we are giving them both in our lessons and through trips and extra curricular opportunities. We particularly value the opportunities we give to Sixth Form students in organising events for our students in younger years. Recently they have organised trips to London and Alton Towers. We want our students to achieve the best they are capable of.

Our department is well resourced and led by committed practitioners, who are focused on continuing the process of raising standards and expectations in our department and beyond into the world of work.  

We have four teachers currently teaching across a wide range of subjects including:

·        GCSE Business

·        OCR Technical Qualifications in Business at Level 2 and Level 3

·        AS and A Level Business

·        AS and A Level Economics

·        LIBF Finance course at Level 2 and Level 3

Many students progress to University to study Business, Economics and Finance degrees. This year we were oversubscribed in Business. Next year we will require additional groups in Level 2 and Level 3 Business, Economics and Finance. The new team members expertise could be in any of these. So whether your expertise is in Business, Economics or Finance or even all three we would welcome an application. Similarly, if you have a preference for vocational or academic our curriculum offer is wide enough to accommodate. The team would welcome anyone who wants to visit or speak ahead of applying.

It is truly exciting times for our department, and we are looking forward to welcoming another colleague to join our highly driven and successful department, who will buy into our vision and culture and seek to be the best for our students at every opportunity.
