| This is a rare and exciting opportunity for the right professional to join our fantastic team in September 2024. This particular role is to primarily teach Business Studies; the successful candidate will be also required to teach some second subject lessons at KS3, e.g. Computing or PSHE. You will work with a highly skilled and dynamic curriculum leader and wider department team who are committed to ensuring the best possible results for students.
You will be a committed team player, with a true passion for your subject and an understanding of the strategies required to inspire and motivate students. The successful candidate will play a key part in promoting the subject throughout the school. We teach Edexcel GCSE Business Studies, which continues to be a very popular GCSE option. The department is highly valued by SLT, and as such we are given a generous allocation of time in key stage 3 enabling us to make links to business within the computing curriculum. Consequently, students commence GCSE Business with some of the key foundations already covered and thus enjoy a stimulating and challenging programme of study at KS4. You will be joining a team of 6 teachers who work well together who all have high expectations of all students, wanting the best outcomes for all students. Every teacher makes contributions to our on-going success and we offer a range of extra-curricular enrichment opportunities for students. Each teacher has their own dedicated classroom with an interactive whiteboard, separate writing desks and fully-equipped computers for each student. We have a wide range of teaching resources for the units of work needed for the GCSE course, both digital online resources and a vast array of books. As part of a leading Research School, we follow evidence-informed teaching and pride ourselves on this and joint planning across the department to give the students the very best learning experiences. We are a supportive and welcoming team with an array of experiences whilst always keen to keep up-to-date with the latest developments in current practices and subject pedagogy. If you are an ambitious, enthusiastic, hardworking, conscientious and energetic teacher who not only values young people but can motivate and inspire all students and staff to go ‘beyond their best’ then we would like to hear from you.
