Progress Champions

Salary
£42,403 to £49,086 with significant and relevant experience.

We are seeking to appoint TWO experienced, proven and highly motivated professionals to take lead roles in our response to the aftermath of COVID-19 and our ongoing commitment to closing the disadvantaged gap.  We foresee new levels and types of disadvantage following the mandatory school closures and as a school already committed to closing the disadvantaged gap we are preparing now to do more in the future and fulfill our raising standards mission:

“Expecting more of every student and groups of students, at every level, and using professional conversations to identify who, what and by when. Keeping up (at KS3) not catching up (at KS4).”

You will be an excellent and experienced teacher, in either a STEM subject, or an English, languages or humanities subject looking for a role where you will be teaching in the classroom for around 60% of your time and working with targeted individuals and groups of students for the other 40% of your contact time.  You will also be seeking a role in which you can make a difference to the practice and knowledge of other teaching colleagues.

The closing date for applications is Friday 22nd May 2020.   We reserve the right to appoint at any stage in the process so early application is encouraged.
