Summary
What skills and experience we're looking for
We are looking for applications from confident and enthusiastic persons interested in applying to complement our existing team at The King’s (The Cathedral) School.
You will provide cover for teaching staff to enable them to carry out their professional duties, training and development and short-term absences. Work will be set by teaching staff and will be for both the Junior (Years 3 to 6) and Secondary school (Years 7 to 11) and typically be across a range of different subjects. Occasional cover to assist with educational visits may be required.
The ideal candidate will be passionate about inspiring students of all abilities and will have high expectations of standards together with strong behaviour and classroom managements skills. Some candidates who can bring experience in sports coaching, with a willingness to cover Physical Education would be desirable, to support the delivery of lessons and assist in maintaining a positive learning environment.
What the school offers its staff
The King’s (The Cathedral) School enjoys a very strong reputation both within the city and the local region. As one of a small number of state schools with close links to their local Cathedral, our distinct Christian culture lies at the heart of the school. We are a single academy Trust, located close to the city centre of Peterborough, educating students from the age of seven to eighteen.
We are rightly proud of our student’s academic achievements (progress is typically in the top 5% nationally for GCSE) but the educational philosophy at the school is far broader with students encouraged to take part in a wide range of extra-curricular activities including Music, Sport and Drama.
Commitment to safeguarding
The King’s (The Cathedral) School fully recognises the responsibility it has under section 175 of the Education Act 2002 (as amended), the Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Act 2009 (as amended) and Education and Training (Welfare of Children) Act, 2021 to have arrangements in place to safeguard and promote the welfare of children.
