A teacher acts as a role model and has a central role in promoting high standards for all students, imparting the values, skills and knowledge to become responsible citizens and lifelong learners.  This post involves subject teaching and contributing to the development of the subject. 

Students' attitudes to learning have a decisive bearing on their attainment and progress and such attitudes are strongly influenced by what happens in the classroom. High quality teaching is at the heart of Central Academy’s ethos and vision.

Keeping your subject exciting, relevant and enjoyable, you'll create an ambitious, innovative and motivating classroom. You'll inspire and challenge your students so that they develop into highly effective, independent learners and achieve their individual potential.
