• bring impactful and evidence-informed approaches to their teaching;
• work as a member of a team, sharing ideas and resources;
• develop relationships with students based upon equality, respect, joy and high aspirations

We are proud that the Sir John Deane’s name has enhanced the career of many colleagues and, together with the professional development we provide, has allowed them to progress into middle and senior management positions. As part of the Sir John Brunner Foundation Multi-Academy Trust, over time, the College will be able to provide professional opportunities in good and outstanding local high schools to help you further develop your career.

This role follows a college academic calendar and requires onsite attendance from the start of the academic year on GCSE Results Day (third Thursday in August), ending in mid-July.
