Required to start as soon as possible.
Details:
St Peter’s is an oversubscribed school, known as a high performing school and nationally recognised for our approaches to character education. Our most recent Ofsted inspection (‘Good’ November 2019 and SIAMS inspection (‘Excellent’ May 2019) indicate the significant progress we have made in developing well rounded students who ‘live life to the full’. As a Beacon School, Relational and Restorative Approaches are key to how we educate for a wise, courageous and compassionate community.
This is an opportunity for someone, who has skill and passion for improving the life chances of students with significant literacy needs, to temporarily lead the DELL Provision. Launched in the autumn of 2019, the D.E.L.L. delivers a custom designed curriculum built to address the needs of students who enter secondary school requiring significant additional support with their literacy skills.
The post is fixed term due to a need for Maternity Cover.
You will:
• have expertise in the teaching of literacy;
• have a passion for building strong relationships with our most vulnerable children;
• have experience of teaching students with significantly below expected levels of literacy;
• be well-versed in responsive teaching that looks to regularly adapt and innovate according to the needs of individuals and groups.
Are you a strong, visionary Teacher of Literacy with passion, energy and creativity? Do you inspire young people to excel? Do you want to work with an experienced team of supportive professionals who aim high and achieve excellent results?
Our students make working here a real pleasure, and as such we have high expectation for both our students and ourselves.
We offer:
• a welcoming and friendly team of excellent staff;
• a supportive working environment;
• students with a drive to succeed.
A willingness and ability to offer time and energy to our wellbeing programme &/or extra-curricular provision (which we believe adds significant value to our character based approaches to education, including our Duke of Edinburgh and Ten Tors), will be taken into consideration for applications.
As a Church of England Aided School, in cases of equal merit preference will be given to candidates who are in sympathy with the foundation.
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and vulnerable adults, and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
