Are you a teacher of Business and ICT looking for your next challenge? We are recruiting for a Teacher of Business and ICT at Astley Community High School to work 0.6 FTE. This post comes at an exciting time in our school's journey as in September 2025 we are moving into our new build school, which will provide excellent facilities for our staff and students.

The world of work faculty consists of a team of four staff offering a number of courses both Pre-16 and Post-16, they are a strong team of staff who are happy to share good practice in order to move forward. All staff are leaders in their own right and take on a certain level of responsibility for the areas in which they work.  As a faculty we fully embrace new initiatives as it is essential that we continue to develop by creating a positive and varied learning environment with a variety of resources which engage all students, whilst raising achievement and progress rates.

The World of Work faculty are always developing new teaching methods and resources to embrace the different learning styles of our young people. As a faculty we fully embrace new initiatives as it is essential that we continue to develop by creating a positive and varied learning environment with a variety of resources which engage all students, whilst raising achievement and progress rates.

In years 7 and 8 the faculty delivers Information Technology to students from Whytrig Middle School. These students have access to high school facilities and staff expertise.  In year 9 all students complete a year of Information Technology lessons based around the national curriculum requirements. At Key Stage 4 and 5 the faculty offers vocational qualifications in Business, ICT/Media and Travel and Tourism. 

Based in South East Northumberland with good standards of teaching and behaviour and a strong commitment to improvement, we believe passionately that every student should be enabled to succeed in all aspects of school life. Building on our ‘Good’ ratings by Ofsted, we continue to strive for further improvements.

As a relatively small school at Astley Community High School  there is a real sense of community. Staff are able to fully get to know the students in both an academic and pastoral sense. Behaviour across the schools is good with the vast majority of students putting into practice our behaviour expectations of being ready, respectful and safe on a daily basis. Our students across the Year groups into the Sixth Form have a focus on wanting to learn - this helps to foster an attitude of wanting to achieve the best they can.
