Teacher of KS2/3 - Astrea Academy Netherwood. Astrea Academy Netherwood is an 11-16 academy which opened in September 2012, set in an extensive £35 million campus. As part of Astrea Academy Trust, Astrea Academy Netherwood is in an exciting period of development. The ideal candidate will be an enthusiastic and committed KS2/3 teacher to join our team and work specifically with scholars who are currently working at lower levels of attainment. This is an exciting opportunity for a teacher who is passionate about removing barriers to learning, building confidence and helping every scholar achieve their potential through adaptive teaching.

We are looking for someone who:

• Is passionate about inclusion and raising achievement.
• Believes that every scholar can succeed.
• Has high expectations while providing the right level of support and scaffolding.
• Can make complex ideas accessible and engaging.
• Uses assessment effectively to identify and close gaps.
• Builds strong, positive relationships with scholars.

We are committed to a knowledge-rich curriculum and a traditional approach to teaching, behaviour and culture. We believe that schools must teach powerful knowledge, 'the best that has been thought and said' and an 'entitlement curriculum' for all. We believe in explicit instruction and are greatly influenced by Lemov's 'Teach Like A Champion', Rosenshine and recent developments in cognitive science. We believe that the creation of a scholarly culture that is warm and strict, disciplined and joyful, where there is 'purpose not power', ensuring impeccable behaviour, where teachers can focus on teaching and pupils can focus on learning, underpins everything. We are values-driven and our vision is to provide an inclusive, aspirational and academic education for all our students, so that all of them will learn, thrive and lead successful lives. We are unapologetically ambitious for every child, no matter what their background, prior attainment or needs. We want to ensure that all our students have the option to be able to go to university or aspirational alternative. We are not going to reduce expectations because of a child's background or home life, or because they are new to English or have a special education need. In fact, the opposite is true. It is our job to redouble our efforts to help children overcome these barriers so that they can flourish. We value our staff highly and treat workload very seriously. Our systems are high leverage, ensuring you can really focus on your core purpose - teaching, in a sustainable way, unhindered by bureaucracy or poor behaviour.

What we offer:

• Huge support and progression opportunities
• A knowledge-rich curriculum, built on 'powerful knowledge' and a traditional T&L approach built around Rosenshine and TLAC
• Collaborative planning with centralised, shared units of work and resources
• Excellent support from the Astrea Trust Central team
• A feedback policy focused on whole class feedback - no onerous marking policies
• Disruption-free learning and a 'warm/strict' behaviour system
• Highly visible/supportive senior leaders who have your back
• Centralised detentions, including homework detentions (you do not need to organise/run/chase them at all)
• No formal graded lesson observations - just ongoing 'no-stakes' instructional coaching, helping you to continuously develop
• Excellent ongoing CPD, career development and promotion opportunities across the Astrea South Yorkshire region
• Opportunity to complete NPQs
• An unrivalled professional progression model
