Job overview

FRAMWELLGATE SCHOOL DURHAM TEACHER OF DRAMA & ENGLISH

Required from 1st September 2018  

We wish to appoint an inspirational and highly motivated teacher of Drama and English to make a real impact in this rapidly improving school.  Over the period since our last Ofsted inspection in November 2015 we have made significant progress.  A new Headteacher and thirteen new teachers (including seven NQTs) took up post on 1st September 2017, and four new senior leaders took up post on 1st January 2018.  With solid foundations now in place, the opportunity to play a significant role in leading the school back to ‘Good’ and on to ‘Outstanding’ is both exciting and realistic.  

The successful candidate will possess energy, vision and enthusiasm and believe that every young person deserves the very best education.  Your specialism may be drama or English and we will be able to produce a timetable to suit your specialism.  A commitment to raising achievement, and a willingness to learn, train and develop as a teacher are all essential.  We can offer you an environment where student behaviour is excellent, prior attainment levels are amongst the highest in the North-East and our students and staff are a pleasure to work with.    

Framwellgate School Durham is a medium size 11-18 co-educational, non-selective secondary school within a Multi Academy Trust.  There are 1,015 students on roll.  The school was designated as a Science College in 2003 and converted to Academy status in 2011. In 2016 the school was awarded a grant of £2.4 million to create a purpose-built sports complex. This was opened in September 2017, making FSD a hub for sporting excellence in the region.  

If you would like to arrange a visit prior to submitting an application please contact Fiona Thompson, Executive Assistant: Thompson.f@framdurham.com to make arrangements. 

The available dates for a visit are Tuesday 24th April 2018 at 9am and Wednesday 25th April 2018 at 9am. The closing date for applications is 9am on Monday 30th April 2018. Shortlisting will take place on Monday 30th April and shortlisted candidates will be contacted soon after.  Interviews are scheduled to take place on Thursday 3rd May 2018.  

Framwellgate School Durham is committed to the safeguarding of children and young people. An enhanced disclosure from the DBS will be required for this post, together with completion of a pre-employment health questionnaire.

Framwellgate School Durham (FSD) is an 11-18 school which was granted academy status in 2011.  There are approximately 1300 students on roll including 140 in the Sixth Form. Within the next two years, we envisage a roll of 1400 including 230+ in the sixth form. The school serves the population to the north of Durham city, primarily from the Newton Hall estate, but we attract students from a wide surrounding area and over 20 feeder primary schools.  We are a high achieving 11-18 academy with a strong track record in both provision and outcomes.  We are fully committed to the students in our care, and work to ensure that both the pastoral provision and quality of teaching is the very best.
