Job overview
We are seeking a well-qualified and enthusiastic teacher to join a highly successful department. The school has an excellent reputation for Performing Arts. The person appointed will be required to teach Music and Drama at KS3 and GCSE level and it is hoped that they will take an active role in the many and varied extra-curricular activities. The ability to teach Dance is also desirable.
NQTs will be considered as well as experienced teachers.
We require a teacher who can build excellent relationships with students. We are also seeking to appoint somebody with a good sense of humour and one who enjoys teamwork. These are hugely important qualities in terms of collaborative working, but also in getting the very best out of our students.
Standards of behaviour are very good indeed. We achieve this because of a very strong team work ethic in pastoral management, but also because we do not tolerate poor choices without proportionate consequences. As a new member of staff, you will find the school to be an extremely welcoming environment to teach in.
This is a superb opportunity to come and join a school where you will succeed and see our students make great progress over their time with us.
The Academy is over-subscribed, achieves high academic standards and has a reputation as a caring community school. In the relatively recent inspection in February 2016, OFSTED graded the school as ‘Good’ in all categories and hence ‘Good’ overall.
The school converted to Academy status on 1st February 2012. It is on the western side of Huddersfield, one mile from the M62. The road system makes travel to Leeds, Bradford and the whole Yorkshire region very easy.
