The Trust’s main objectives are encompassed in its vision statement, which is: Students are at the centre of everything we do. Through collaboration, every aspect of our work is of high quality. Our academies deliver an ambitious and inclusive curriculum that enables all students to excel academically and socially. We know the key to our success is ensuring that we recruit the highest quality staff, and we are delighted to be expanding our team with the appointment of a Teacher of Mathematics and Science. The post is based at Kenton school and will support students from both Kenton and Studio West.
We have an exciting opportunity within our alternative teaching provision unit - Aspire. The post is open to both experienced and early career teachers. For early career teachers we offer a comprehensive suite of training and support. The Aspire Team work closely with students who have struggled for a variety of reasons in a mainstream setting. We offer a reduced bespoke timetable to KS4 students who are on long term placements and KS3 students who are on turnaround placements. Our aim is to provide the best curriculum offer to some of our most vulnerable students.
If you are the person we are looking for, your broad base of subject knowledge will be underpinned by a passion for the subject and the ability to apply a range of teaching and learning strategies. You will possess the ability to work effectively with all students, engaging them through exciting yet challenging lessons and embedding a culture of positive behaviour for learning. You will possess the ability to promote the safeguarding and welfare of children and young people and take appropriate action when required. And, most importantly, you will be committed to our school ethos of ‘all different, all equal,’ instilling high expectations in all our students.
In return we offer:
• Access to fantastic ECT support for early careers teachers/professional development for those who have already passed statutory induction
• Access to the Teachers Pension Scheme
• Salary sacrifice schemes such as cycle to work scheme
• Access to on-site gym facilities at our Kenton School site
• Access to a range of health and wellbeing initiatives
• Fantastically resourced schools, both with easy commuting access to both the A1 and A19 and free on-site parking.
