What skills and experience we're looking for
To manage, lead and deliver the internal alternative provision. This includes planning and delivering student programmes of learning and support. These programmes will cover cocurricular activities such as horticulture, community and outdoor learning and employability skills. These programmes will be delivered on and off site in planned collaboration with the Assistant Headteacher.
The post holder is responsible for working with and building relationships with a range of school professionals, external agencies and families. The Internal Alternative Provision Manager will work with all year groups in the school.
The post holder will need to be a talented and committed practitioner who will work with a range of internal and external professionals to improve students’ outlook and attitude and approach towards their educational journey. A key focus for this role will be to maintain a positive and well-managed learning environment in the Alternative Provision room ensuring students develop their ability to show high standards of behaviour and focus.
The post holder will also be responsible for developing and supporting alternative curriculum content for students to ensure the quality of the provision, setting high expectations which inspire, motivate, and challenge students to become the best they can be.
What the school offers its staff
Oakmoor is brand new, state of the art secondary school situated in a 22 acre tree lined site on the edge of the South Downs National Park.
We are a friendly, vibrant school with high standards and expectations. We pride ourselves on knowing every young person as an individual and challenging each of them to have the highest possible aspirations.
We are a highly collegiate staff with high expectations of ourselves and each other surrounded by like-minded, high calibre colleagues, who strive to provide the best education possible for our students. It is an exciting time to be joining our brand new, vibrant school where all staff are valued and their contribution to the organisation as a whole is recognised.
Teachers are very well supported by an excellent professional support team at all levels who share our goal of every child achieving their very best whilst enjoying a rich and varied curriculum with plenty of opportunities to excel outside the classroom.
Students at Oakmoor display excellent behaviour in lessons and around the school. Teachers plan highly engaging lessons tailored to the needs of our students allowing high levels of progress to be enjoyed. Students benefit from a wealth of extra-curricular activities, including trips and visits to enrich their experience at our school.
Our Plan-Deliver-Assess focus means that we have stripped away unnecessary bureaucracy and meetings allowing teachers to spend time on the 3 most important parts of their role. Teachers have time to plan great lessons, enjoy delivering their lessons and assess progress efficiently to inform the next stage of their planning to meet student need.
Four years’ ago, one of our staff-led school improvement groups, piloted a new approach to assessing the work of students in their classes to inform their planning, rather than providing detailed feedback to every child individually. The pilot was highly successful and is now our whole school approach to assessing and planning.
Every teacher has saved a significant amount of time by no longer making detailed notes in every child’s book which was having a limited impact on student progress. Teachers now use this time to plan more precisely to address misconceptions and tailor learning to their classes.
Removing other time-consuming activities which prevent teachers from doing their job effectively has also led to considerable student enjoyment and progress which has consequently improved GCSE outcomes for our students. It also means great teachers stay at Oakmoor and we have created an exceptional teaching staff here.
At Oakmoor we encourage staff to develop and many of our teaching and professional support team have been successful with internal promotion in recent years. This provides excellent continuity for the school and allows colleagues the opportunity to progress whilst remaining in the school they enjoy being part of.
We have cutting edge technology throughout the site and the latest specialist equipment for key areas such as science, technology and performing arts. Our main buildings surround a central court yard which includes covered areas for outside dining accessible from the dining hall and seating areas accessible from the learning resource centre for reading at break and lunch times.
There is an abundance of green spaces which include several sports pitches, an athletics track, a nurture garden and a forest school area for outside learning and activities. The whole site is bordered by mature trees providing a relaxing and inspirational backdrop to the learning environment.
We are a very successful school where high levels of respect and conduct prevail. Our success shows that when you couple high quality pastoral care with high standards and expectations, young people are able to flourish and to achieve their very best.
Visitors comment on our purposeful learning environment and our delightful students. Let Oakmoor look after you and your career.
