Teacher of Science - Gifted and Talented Co-ordinator

A rare and exciting opportunity has arisen to join our team in our forward-thinking and aspirational school based in Warwickshire’s beautiful, medieval market town of Henley-in-Arden. Where better to teach and support our staff and students than in the district of Stratford-upon-Avon, at the heart of Shakespeare's county? Visits to our green-field site, bordered by the River Alne, are welcome (and encouraged!) so that you may see for yourself why Ofsted describe our flourishing students as, ‘…well behaved, polite and courteous’.

Come and join our experienced and high-performing Science department.

We are proud to be part of the Arden Multi-Academy trust, partnered with three other schools in the local area including Arden Academy in Knowle. This support mechanism ensures that leaders collaborate and innovate together to provide an outstanding educational experience for our school, and provides continuous opportunity for further development for our staff.

We’re looking forward to reading letters of application from teachers who are looking for an exciting new challenge to impact the lives of our students. You’ll be joining our ever improving school, which year on year ensures all our students are prepared for the next step in their education. Our Ofsted in November 2017 highlighted our many good and outstanding features and we are proud of our consistently strong examination results. 

We promise to offer you both a stimulating and highly rewarding experience in return for your motivational skills and good practice. Opportunities don’t arise very often to work in a vibrant school like Henley in Arden and we are delighted to be offering the chance for someone to join the team.

 In return we can offer you: 

• A positive and innovative learning culture supported by students, staff, parents and governors. 
• A collaborative and supportive attitude amongst staff which promotes a sense of teamwork and unity. 
• A Senior Leadership team who is committed to promoting the best environment and outcomes for staff and students. 
• Cycle to Work scheme. 
• The potential to collaborate and work with other staff in our Multi-Academy trust.

Visits are strongly advised for an opportunity to visit our school, talk to the headteacher and meet our fantastic students to get a feel for our ethos, ahead of interviews. For an informal chat about this exciting opportunity, please contact Mrs Sally Smith, our Office Manager, on 01564 797550 or email ssmith@henleyschool.com Please access our website to understand why Henley is a special place to work. 

Our school application form is available on our website; applications should be accompanied by a supporting letter of application (no more than two sides of A4). Should you have any queries about the process, wish to arrange a visit, or to submit your application, please contact Mrs Sally Smith. 

Closing date: Friday 9th December 2022 at 9am
