Job overview
Teacher of Psychology – Maternity Leave Cover
Grade TMS/NQT
Finham Park School is the Lead School in the recently established Finham Park Multi Academy Trust. Primary and secondary schools in Finham Park MAT will set out to pioneer, innovate and deliver a “World Class” education for all.
Finham Park School was judged as ‘Outstanding’ in all areas by Ofsted in 2015, for the second time. It is a Specialist College in Mathematics & Computing, a National Support School, and Leading Edge School. It is highly over-subscribed with a growing Sixth Form of over 300 students. We have recently been accredited to the World Class Schools Organisation – endorsing that Finham Park is a place where all our students develop a love of “learning for life”.
The Governors are seeking to appoint a Teacher of Psychology who has a passion for teaching and learning. This is an exciting opportunity for a committed and motivated professional with an ambition to become an outstanding Psychology teacher, and for someone who would want to contribute positively to additional Social Science Faculty subjects. Psychology is a highly popular choice within our Sixth Form; the position will most likely entail the delivery of Edexcel A’ Level Psychology (currently five groups in total), and also delivering Edexcel GCSE Psychology in Year 9 (from September). Experience of teaching Post 16 Psychology would be highly advantageous, as would experience of teaching KS3 students. Psychology is part of our Enrichment programme for Year 7 and 8, and it is likely that applicants would also deliver KS3 and KS4 PSHE lessons as well.
The successful candidate will join an established team, where our teachers are committed to delivering a high quality, lively and interesting curriculum to challenge and inspire all of our students. The role will commence in April 2018.

About Finham Park 2
Finham Park 2 is an exciting, innovative, friendly and supportive 11-19 co-educational comprehensive school based on the West side of Coventry near the border of Solihull and close to Warwick University. We opened in September 2015 with 120 students and have grown year on year, including our 6th form, which opened in 2020. We continue to be heavily oversubscribed each year. In September 2022, we were the most over-subscribed school in Coventry.
Our last Ofsted (November 2023) described Finham Park 2 as a good school in all areas with “a purposeful atmosphere around the school”, “a calm and orderly manner” and a place that “highly considers staff workload which staff are appreciative of”.
