Please see applicant brief for further details.
What the school offers its staff
All staff benefit from a comprehensive professional development package, which includes:
● 1:1 coaching for personalised growth.
● Regular deliberate practice sessions to refine skills.
● Dedicated time for subject-specific pedagogy.
To support staff wellbeing, we have implemented a variety of initiatives, including:
● A two-week half-term break during the winter term.
● A centralised detention system to reduce administrative burden.
● No requirement for staff to undertake lunch duties.
● A staff wellbeing group to ensure their voices are heard.
● A sensible approach to marking and feedback, focusing on impact rather than workload.
● We also recognise the value of small gestures, such as providing cake, breakfasts, and other treats, to show our appreciation.
I hope this pack gives you a flavour of the Brigshaw Learning Partnership. I very much look forward to meeting you, please do get in touch to arrange a visit or to have an informal conversation about the role.
Commitment to safeguarding
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the well-being of all children regardless of age, gender, religion or beliefs, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation or socio-economic background. All adults in our schools have a full and active part to play in protecting our children from harm, and that the child or young person’s welfare is our paramount concern. We ensure that everyone understands their roles and responsibilities in respect of safeguarding and is provided with appropriate training to recognise, identify and respond to safeguarding concerns relating to children and young people.
