We are seeking to appoint a resilient, creative and dynamic teacher to join our Humanities Department.  The Department is Good/Outstanding and is committed to providing high quality teaching and learning for all students. This post represents an ideal opportunity to work in a happy, friendly, positive environment. 

Bourne Community College is a growing and unique 11-16 mixed comprehensive Trust school, valued and supported by the local community.  We have been awarded the Unicef Rights Respecting Schools Award ‘Gold’, which very few secondary schools hold in the country, for the second time.

We have high expectations for our students and of our staff and we aim to provide the highest quality education in an atmosphere of mutual respect where everyone is valued.  We are a fully inclusive school where each individual is supported to develop and nurture the values, skills and attributes that enable them to become the very best that they can, regardless of their individual needs.

You will be able to demonstrate our key foci:-

• ASPIRATION – you will be passionate about teaching and excited by learning, with high aspiration for yourself and all students.

• INNOVATION - you will have the capacity to deliver engaging and challenging lessons that make effective use of meta-cognition and data tracking to enable students to make high levels of progress.

• MOTIVATION – you will have excellent subject knowledge and the ability to communicate this effectively using a range of strategies to motivate and support student progress.

What you can expect in return:-

• A commitment to the on-going development of the subject and its role in helping the school achieve its aims.

• An established, dynamic and supportive staff team committed to ensuring a productive and successful place to work.

• A culture of high expectation and challenge as we consistently seek to develop and extend our practice

• A commitment to developing reflective practitioners through our Continued Professional Development programme.

This post would suit either a successful and experienced teacher looking for a new challenge or a newly qualified teacher who has the potential and desire to be an outstanding teacher.  This is a permanent post, required for September 2022, although an earlier start in the summer term would be possible.  Visits to the school are most welcome.
