Job overview
We are looking for a teacher of Drama. Could it be you? We’re seeking a Drama specialist who has the passion to ignite this creative subject in our school; someone who has the flair and passion to engage our pupils both in the classroom and beyond.
We need a talented teacher who has the passion to provide pupils with the best possible learning experience. Whether you’re new to the profession or have years of experience, you will be able to make an impact within and beyond your own classroom; you will have excellent interpersonal skills and you will know how to get the best out of the children you teach. You will develop opportunities for performance and encourage wider participation.
With our unparalleled professional development opportunities, you will be able to progress in your career. We can guarantee you a tailored programme of support which goes well above and beyond to make sure you thrive. We offer membership of the Chartered Teachers College and we expect that you can demonstrate a commitment to continuous personal learning. In addition, we celebrate collaboration across the Trust for collegiate support and professional development.
What we offer in return:
Our teachers work very hard but they only ever do work which is going to make a difference for our pupils. Quite simply, we believe in common sense approaches to everything. That means:
- Our teachers do minimal marking. Why spend ages with a red pen when there are much better ways to give pupils the feedback they need?
- We never ask for lesson plans. Of any kind. Ever.
- Although schemes of work and resources are provided, they are not prescriptive – we cherish individual approaches to delivery.
- There is no pressure to ‘put on a show’ in lessons: A culture of typicality is
reinforced by no lesson gradings (outstanding, good, etc).
- Everyone has the highest expectations of behaviour, with all staff (not just teaching
staff) reinforcing those expectations.
- A clear system of sanctions is applied consistently so staff don’t
have to battle with pupils. Senior Leadership are very visible and all staff ‘own' their corridors.
- CPD is tailored specifically to staff needs, based off their feedback.
This includes a range of NPQs as well as membership to the Chartered Teachers
College for anyone who has been teaching for more than three years
- There are no prizes for looking busy or staying late – we work in a way that suits us; we make sure you make time for yourselves and your families.
That’s just 9 of the things we do to secure
our teachers’ well-being. There are many more here:
