What skills and experience we're looking for
The Academy
This is an exciting and rewarding opportunity to be part of a team delivering our KS3 competency-based curriculum at a brand-new academy, with the potential to shape your career with us as the academy grows.
Shireland CBSO Academy is an exciting new school which opened to Year 7 in September 2023 and is the first state school in the country to be established with a professional orchestra. Based in Providence Place, West Bromwich, the Academy works in partnership with the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra (CBSO) and serves all of Sandwell and the wider West Midlands. The Academy is for all students who have a passion or talent for music – they do not necessarily need to already play an instrument.
Literacy for Life
Literacy for Life is a thematic curriculum taught for 15 hours each week in Year 7, 13 hours in Year 8 and 5 hours in Year 9. Each teacher is focused on the students in their Literacy for Life class, not just from an academic perspective but also getting to know the students and their families and forming a partnership which will really help students to make progress. The role of a form tutor is crucial to supporting our pastoral processes as a school.
