This supports teachers’ workload and many career development opportunities are provided through the federation.

A calm and purposeful school environment where the main focus is on learning. Our simple and clear behaviour systems teach pupils good behaviour habits. Poor behaviour is managed and dealt with so that it does not prevent others from learning.

A supportive coaching model for improvement and self-development.

A professional workplace where the school supports teachers to manage their workload by focusing on the tasks that matter.

The ideal candidate will be committed to:

Sharing the school’s vision to enable all pupils and staff to flourish academically, personally and spiritually so that they can “Go, shine in the world!”.

Teaching using evidence-informed strategies from cognitive psychology to develop learning in pupils’ long-term memory.

Caring deeply about pupils by teaching and promoting good behaviour and effectively managing poor behaviour so that all pupils succeed.

Creating a calm, positive and purposeful classroom environment through an insistence on excellence.

Being determined to continually develop by seeking out and welcoming constructive feedback through our coaching model.

Key responsibilities

Teach to the highest standard, so that pupils make good progress.

To fully implement all school systems for creating a culture of excellence.

To make a positive contribution to the effective daily working of the school by fulfilling the school’s vision and values.
