Job overview
An opportunity has arisen to become part of the aspirational Archbishop Sentamu Academy to spark a passion for learning in our young people which will last a lifetime and raise the expectations of a community. We want you to join us on our journey to ensuring our students achieve the best outcomes possible and develop our students into effective Scientists with enquiring minds who chose to continue with the study of science beyond their school years. We aim to support our students in gaining an awareness of global issues and an understanding of the World around them, by providing them with the appropriate skills so that they can apply their understanding of science and question their experiences.

Our staff engage with a coordinated CPD programme that utilises the latest research to support the ongoing development of our Teaching and Learning and there are many opportunities within the Academy to further your career.

We currently teach the AQA suite of science GCSEs and welcome applicants who like to collaborate and share good practice. This post would suit someone looking to progress their career in an Academy that is committed to developing its staff for further promotion.

○ An opportunity to join an academy that is committed to making a real difference to young people by providing challenging and stimulating teaching and learning
○ Excellent state-of-the-art facilities and resources to enable you to teach to your full potential
○ A positive and optimistic working environment that is focused on pupil progress

About Archbishop Sentamu Academy
Archbishop Sentamu Academy is one of six Hope Sentamu Learning Trust secondary schools. The academy has undergone a period of transformation and rapid improvement since joining the last OFsted and has this year celebrated the most successful results on record. This is an exciting time for the academy and will be an exciting opportunity for an ambitious educational professional to join the team. This is a great career opportunity, a chance to work in a close knit community but with extensive opportunities for professional development across the Trust as a whole.
Archbishop Sentamu is an 11-18 Church of England comprehensive school which serves a mixed, but heavily deprived catchment from East Hull. The academy is over-subscribed; it has a growing population of more than 1400 students who enter the school with attainment below national averages, but with an increasing number of high attainers and gifted and talented pupils. Our commitment to every child is absolute and we strive to meet the needs of all our pupils whether they are capable of achieving ten Grade 9’s at GCSE or require the support of a full time teaching assistant or individual package of learning in order to reach their full potential.
Our distinctively Christian vision is that everyone will be able ‘to lead the best life possible’, now and in the future. It is underpinned by the words of Jesus in John 10:10 which says, “I have come that you may have life in all its fullness.” Our vision is lived out through our academy values of Respect, Community, Courage and Wisdom. This leads to an ethos where we expect each individual to be their very best by accepting personal responsibility and always striving to do better. Each member of our community is respectfully treated to have the courage to push themselves to be inspiring future citizens and have the good wisdom to ensure they seek the support they need to do this. These expectations extend far beyond learning. We expect the highest standards of behaviour, creating an environment where students feel safe, sanctions are applied fairly and positive contributions are recognised and rewarded.
