Job overview
Redden Court School, a place where "Pupils are enthusiastic about coming to school to learn." (OFSTED SEPTEMBER 2016)
Would you like to move your career forward in a friendly environment with eager students and support from an experienced faculty, in one of the best schools in our Local Authority? We are oversubscribed, serve Harold Wood well and we are only twenty minutes from the heart of London.
Our staff turnover is low because teachers come to us and realise our grass is indeed greener. We invest in our staff to help them to become the best possible teachers they can be. There are excellent opportunities for people who work hard. Effort is often recognised in career development. Many who came to us as NQTs now have substantial leadership roles. Our CPD programme and collegiate approach are highly effective. Staff morale is high and so is that of our students and their community.
Redden Court's most recent results place us in the top 20% nationally and top 10% in English for Progress 8.
Our school mantra is "Committed to Success for All." That includes our staff and we want the very best for our students. Less than a year ago OFSTED said we "have created an inclusive community where pupils and staff relate well to each other. The school is focused on working with families to raise aspirations for pupils."
If you are an inspiring, enthusiastic teacher of English who recognises that the best practitioners always want to improve, we would like to talk to you. This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a forward thinking school. Applications from NQTs would be particularly welcome and we will consider job-sharing if that means we get the right people.
If you would like to speak to the Head Teacher, Mr P Ward or Mrs L McGee, Head of English Faculty, please feel free to telephone the school. We welcome visits to the school from potential applicants.
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and we expect all staff to do likewise.
