Job overview

Teacher of Film and Media – MPS

Required for September 2018, we are seeking to appoint a well-qualified, highly motivated & enthusiastic teacher of Film and   Media Studies. Applications are welcomed from both experienced & newly qualified teachers (we offer a full induction programme to NQTs) & visits to the Academy are welcomed.

Ormiston Bushfield Academy is a good school (OFSTED - March 2016) with the recent inspection stating:

  • Relationships between pupils and staff are positive and contribute substantially to the calm and productive learning environment
  • Pupils are making very good progress
  • Pupils behave well in lessons and around school

We relocated to a new £20.6 million state-of -the-art building in September 2012, giving every student the opportunity to learn in an exciting and inspiring environment and the Academy has continued to build on the successes of the last few years and achieved its best ever results at GCSE & A-Level this summer. The Academy is conveniently located close to the Cambridgeshire, Northamptonshire & Lincolnshire borders & benefits from excellent road and rail links.

The subjects are currently a popular option at both GCSE and A-Level and with the recent introduction of Film and Media at KS3, we aim to expand the subject further. This is an opportunity to join a dynamic Academy with a strong ethos of teamwork & support where staff are committed to raising attainment.   

This post offers the opportunity to work with a team of dedicated and enthusiastic staff who successfully deliver Film & Media Studies BTEC, GCSE and A-Level.

This performance was also matched at A level with 70% of students achieving A*-B and 100% A*-C. Our students have gone on to study at some of the best universities including, Cambridge, Warwick and UEA.

The Film and Media Department is fully equipped with an Apple Mac editing suite, radio production facilities, digital screening space and a TV studio.  All teachers are provided with a Mac laptop and iPad, and each media classroom is equipped with a 3D LED screen.  In addition, students in KS4 and KS5 have iPads in order to help improve their digital literacy and enhance their learning experiences.
