Summary
What skills and experience we're looking for
• Ability to inspire, motivate and challenge students
• Ability to plan and teach well-structured lessons which achieve outcomes which are at least good and are often outstanding
• Ability to meet targets for the students in your assigned classes
• Ability to work closely with a team of teaching colleagues in your department to prepare, resource and teach your subject
• Ability to communicate effectively with students, parents/carers and colleagues, showing respect for others and professionalism at all times
• Ability to adapt teaching to respond to the strengths and needs of all students
• Recent and relevant experience of teaching drama at secondary level up to 16. A recent or current ITT course is sufficient to meet this requirement
What the school offers its staff
The leadership of the school is committed to trusting in the professionalism of all its staff. We offer a high level of autonomy so that curriculum areas and individual teachers are trusted to determine what they believe is the best, most enriching and challenging curriculum for our students as well as constantly reflecting on the best pedagogical approach to deliver on that ambition. We promote the fact that this should all be a collective endeavour and that it’s teams working together that achieve the best results. In return the leadership of the school will look to ensure that we all maintain a calm and orderly environment, that teachers can teach and that the training in school is designed to maximise professional development and help in the maintenance of our high standards.
Morale amongst the staff is high as we encourage them to seek professional joy and value working here. The school will benefit from a new build due to open in 2027, but the heart of any school is not its bricks and mortar but the people who work there, something we recognise and celebrate.
