Perhaps you’re an ECT – or maybe you’ve already gained some teaching experience. Regardless, we understand why you joined the profession. You want to be an amazing teacher. You want to help every student, irrespective of their background or abilities, to succeed. In short, you want to make a positive difference to your students’ lives.

We share those values here at Lode Heath School and we’re on a mission to further develop all aspects of teaching, learning and assessment.  Now’s your opportunity to help us achieve our ambitious goals, as you will work to deliver an exceptional learning experience for our students.

We also understand that to achieve these aims, you need outstanding support and development that’s shaped to meet your needs and aspirations. Within this refreshingly collaborative and team-focused culture, colleagues work together towards shared goals that include links with other schools for example, plus the chance to take part in area and cross-Trust collaborative opportunities. Our aim, quite simply, is to work together to achieve the best for everyone in our school family.  

Nowhere is this truer than in our English department. Here our ambitious, forward-thinking and highly successful team is driven by fresh thinking and new ideas. We’re pioneering innovative approaches to marking and feedback which make best use of peer and self-assessment, as well as developing our teaching & learning strategies to ensure our work is highly impactful. 

Join us and you can look forward to all of that plus ECTs are given adjusted teaching allocations.  

There’s an exceptional environment waiting for you outside of work too. Our buildings have been extensively refurbished in recent times and this work continues.  We’re also based in one of the most prosperous towns in the Midlands; Solihull offers plenty of superb amenities from its thriving shopping centre through to lively bars and first-class restaurants. Close to Birmingham Airport, the NEC and Resorts World, it also has excellent transport links to Birmingham city centre and beyond.

Lode Heath School is a member of the Arden Multi-Academy Trust where we are committed in working together to help and enrich the experiences of all within the AMAT family; we have a clear vision to generate self-belief, self-worth, esteem and confidence in our young people who can then display the ambition and aspiration in achieving high educational outcomes.
