Gillotts is a high performing school where every student is valued as an individual, and is supported and encouraged to achieve their potential. We pride ourselves on being inclusive of all, developing young people who make a positive contribution to society now and in their future lives.

As a high-performing school, Gillotts places developments in teaching and learning at the heart of its improvement. This is underpinned by an individualised CPD programme which allows staff to develop the skills most pertinent to their development. We are committed to our staff and work in conjunction with the River Learning Trust (RLT), Oxfordshire Teaching School Hub (OTSH), Oxfordshire Teacher Training (OTT), and OTSA to offer the very best in professional learning for colleagues at every level.

We are looking for staff who:

• Want to be excellent practitioners
• Are keen to work together to achieve our shared aims
• Are committed to helping all our young people be the best they can be
• Are reflective practitioners – keen to grow and develop throughout their career
• Are curious about finding creative solutions to tricky problems and building leadership capacity across the whole school

What we will offer:

• Remarkable behaviour – we believe in clear routines, appropriate responses and outstanding relationships fuelled by mutual respect and a commitment to excellence.
• Great curriculum resources – clear and coherent schemes of work that mean you can spend time thinking about the how rather than the what.
• Commitment to high quality CPD – we’ll support and challenge you as an individual so you can develop your skills as a professional rather than feeding everyone the same diet irrespective of their needs and goals.
• Efficient solutions – we focus on evidence-based approaches where teacher-time spent is commensurate with student outcomes. This means, for example, that we use methods of feedback that are designed to move learning forward; you should be spending time on things that will make a difference.
• Staff wellbeing as a priority – we care about our staff as professionals and as people. Teams work very closely together with a focus on developing practice but also supporting each other in the good times and the bad.
