Job overview
Are you an inspirational, dedicated teacher who is committed to raising expectations and attainment? Do you consistently deliver well planned lessons, track individual pupil progress and provide structured feedback?
You will teach across all Key Stages, be focused on raising student attainment, plan and develop the curriculum at both GCSE and A Level to help meet the demands of the new specifications and maintain the existing positive team culture.
We are a growing department with increasing numbers of students choosing to study Religious Studies, many of whom progress to Philosophy and Religion courses in the Sixth Form. Our exam results for 2018 were excellent with 89% gaining 4-9 at GCSE and 100% gaining A-C’s.
Writhlington School and Mendip Studio School are part of the Midsomer Norton Schools’ Partnership and are both located on a large modern campus that benefits from exceptional media facilities, a 400-seat theatre and a Community Sports Centre. The school is committed to supporting staff in their professional development and working collaboratively to drive towards the goal of consistently refining pedagogy and practice with a pupil centred mindset.
The teaching, leadership and pastoral support across the schools means that our students get the benefit of shared facilities and curriculum opportunities. Mendip Studio School has recently received a ‘Good’ rating from Ofsted. The inspection outcome is a testament to the hard work, talent and commitment of all staff across the campus.
New staff ideas are encouraged and there are a range of opportunities to lead and to contribute to its wide range of extracurricular activities: a large Combined Cadet Force, and international links with China, Tanzania & Rwanda that support the 14-19 curriculum.
If you would like to work in a collaborative, forward-thinking and supportive school environment, apply by 2pm, Tuesday 21 May 2019.
Interviews will be held on Friday 24th May 2019.

The Midsomer Norton Schools' Partnership Trust was formed in 2009 following a hard federation between Norton Hill and Somervale secondary schools, both located in the town of Midsomer Norton. Since that point, the Trust has grown to include 10 secondary schools, 1 special school and 17 primary schools, all located in the Southwest of England: Bath and North East Somerset, Somerset and North Somerset.
The Midsomer Norton Schools' Partnership Trust is focused on school improvement as its primary aim. Trustees believe that through effective and true collaboration, excellence can be achieved in our schools. The Trust does not seek to make all schools the same, but through sensible standardisation of practices and outstanding support and challenge, they aim to ensure all schools within the Trust are ‘good’ or better.
Schools that form the Trust are:
Primary Schools: Clutton, Dundry, Farrington Gurney, Hemington, High Littleton, Leigh on Mendip, Longvernal, Midsomer Norton, Norton Hill Primary, Peasedown St John, Shoscombe, St John's CofE, St Julian's, St Mary's, Trinity, Welton and Westfield.
Secondary Schools: Beechen Cliff, Buckler's Mead, Hayesfield Girls School, Mendip Studio, Norton Hill Secondary, Preston, Somervale, St Dunstan's, St Mark's, and Writhlington.
