Job overview

Saint Cecilia’s Church of England School is an academically successful and over-subscribed non-selective secondary school, with an excellent reputation, located in South-West London.

We are looking for a dynamic teacher to re-introduce food technology to Key Stage 3, support food nutrition lessons as part of Key Stage 5 PSHE and embed opportunities for pupils’ and students’ personal development through extra-curricular events and activities.

This is an excellent opportunity to develop and build a subject, have ownership of a valuable part of the curriculum, and strengthen an already thriving Art and Textiles Department.

The food teaching room is fully equipped with washing machines, tumble dryers, microwaves and a dishwasher. There are ten practical unit areas, a teacher’s station with a projector, PC interactive whiteboard and demonstration mirror. The adjacent food preparation room includes fridges, freezers, and storage.

We welcome applications from both experienced food teachers as well as from exceptional Early Career Teachers.

We welcome applications from teachers who have the flexibility to teach a second subject.

The successful applicant will be joining a school community that places the continual professional development of staff via collaboration underpinned by educational research at the heart of all that we do.

Located close to Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Club, Saint Cecilia’s is well connected to central London and the West End, as well as the tranquil Surrey countryside, by exceptional transport links. The school lies within the Inner London Weighting area, which adds a significant increase to salary.

In 2019, the school maintained its position as one of the highest performing schools in the London Borough of Wandsworth. The results for 21/22 are equally as impressive.

At GCSE:

·        Attainment 8 was 55.1

·        84% of pupils achieved 9-4 grades in both English and Maths

·        61% of pupils achieved 9-5 grades in both English and Maths

At A Level:

·        Many leavers gain places at prestigious Russell Group universities, including Oxbridge.

 

Are you ready to join a team of dedicated teachers, in a Good school which aspires to be Great? Are you ready to contribute towards a Great Curriculum, establish Great Learning and build a culture of Great Professionalism and Great Partnerships, all in a caring, supportive Christian Ethos?

 “We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults, and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All posts are subject to an enhanced DBS check”.
