Perhaps you’re an ECT – or maybe you’ve already gained some teaching experience? Either way, 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 also understand that to achieve your aims, you need outstanding support and development that’s shaped to meet your needs and aspirations. Like first-rate induction and CPD programmes that include cross-Trust collaborative opportunities.

Join us and you can look forward to all of that, as well as a clear focus on coaching and a mentoring system that’s proved to be highly successful in helping new staff to integrate quickly. What’s more, you’ll find a strong peer-to-peer support structure in place to share and develop each other’s skills – and ECTs are given additional support and time off timetable to do so (and we can employ you before the summer too!).

As for the culture here at Lode Heath, it’s all about working collaboratively and supporting each other to deliver exceptional teaching and learning for all of our students.  Nowhere is this truer than in our Science Department. Here our ambitious, forward-thinking and talented team is driven by fresh thinking and new ideas, where collaborative planning and timesaving yet effective approaches to marking and feedback are key features, as well as developing students’ wider skills like teamworking and presentation.

As a teacher, you will be an effective classroom practitioner who is ready to contribute to our successful team to ensure even higher attainment and more positive learning experiences for our students.  You may already have some experience, or this might be your first position as a teacher, but your commitment and desire for excellence will be clear.

There’s an exceptional environment waiting for you outside of work too. 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 the new Resorts World development, 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. 

An informal visit to the school is a great way to discover Lode Heath for yourself. Just contact Mrs Jones at: office@lodeheath.org.uk to arrange a date.
