Job overview
Are you looking for an opportunity to work in a successful, over-subscribed and expanding school? Do you want to be involved in a successful and innovative department?
Thomas Tallis is a flourishing and popular school situated in the Royal Borough of Greenwich. In 2011 it moved to a new £52m building with state of the art facilities and infrastructure. There are currently 1850 pupils on the school role and the intake is fully comprehensive from Years 7 to 13, with over 500 students in the thriving 6th Form.
At Thomas Tallis we aim to provide young people with an ‘education to understand the world and change it for the better’. We strive for excellence in all that we do underpinned by our four core values of creativity, community, engagement and challenge.
The Governors and Head Teacher are looking to appoint an enthusiastic and creative Teacher of Drama to work within our Performing Arts Curriculum Area. The school has a strong provision within both performing and visual arts. The specialist teaching and learning spaces for these subject areas provide an excellent environment and a wider array of opportunities to teach across Key Stages 3 to 5, where we offer a mix of both vocational as well as GCSE/GCE qualifications. A sign of our commitment to these disciplines is that all students study Drama as a discrete subject at Key Stage 3.
This post will provide the successful candidate with the opportunity to work in a curriculum area that has a pedigree of success and excellence, has a focus on interdisciplinary and ground breaking work and has experienced success at a national level. The specialist facilities and spaces for Drama provide an exceptional arena in which students can learn and perform.
This is a great opportunity to join a school that is building on its already successful results and reputation, and is committed to becoming an outstanding school and centre of excellence. The new building and facilities only add to the excitement and energy already at the school.
All candidates will be subject to full Safer Recruitment procedures as laid down by the DfE.
