Deputy Head at Five Islands AcademyNPQH MSc Learning & Teaching

Thank you for considering applying for one of these two exciting opportunities to join our creative team as Music Teacher or MFL Teacher at Five Islands Academy.

[Music] Our students are engaged, talented and innovative learners who will be excited to make music with an enthusiastic new teacher. We have excellent music facilities including a Mac suite and a purpose built performance hall. The successful candidate will lead our Secondary music provision, working with strong creative arts practitioners across drama, art and technology as well as Primary music specialists. Over the past few years, our Creative Arts team have collaborated to produce outstanding school musicals, concerts and Project Week performances, leading Ofsted to comment that “the school provides a remarkable range of cultural experiences for pupils, especially within the arts. An impressive range of expert practitioners are brought to the islands to work creatively with pupils.”

[MFL] Central to the development of our academy during recent years has been the development of a through school curriculum that nurtures curious, collaborative, creative global learners with rich knowledge and confident oracy. An exciting aspect of the MFL teaching role is the opportunity to collaborate with Primary colleagues in our 4-16 through school to encourage the building of firm foundations for language acquisition in the Primary phase, enabling students to transition to Secondary French in Year 7 with confidence and enthusiasm.

French results at Five Islands Academy have been on an upward trend over the past three years, with increasing numbers of students choosing to take it as a GCSE option. We are seeking an enthusiastic, dynamic teacher who will further raise the profile of language learning in the school, developing Modern Foreign Languages as an area of excellence.

Five Islands Academy is an all age, multi-site Church of England academy in a remarkable setting, serving the five island communities of Bryher, St Agnes, St Martin’s, St Mary’s and Tresco. Class sizes are small: year groups average around 20 children. Secondary students and the majority of primary students are based on our St Mary’s site: a bright, open, well-resourced learning environment, while off-island children learn in small mixed age bases and join their peers every Friday.

We are proud to be an inclusive school, where each child is supported to achieve excellence. We have a powerful vision for navigating together to nurture curious, collaborative, creative global learners with rich knowledge and confident oracy. Our most recent Ofsted inspection (November 2023) judged our provision to be Good in all areas, with Outstanding for Personal Development, saying: "Pupils develop a powerful sense of community" through a culture and curriculum that "expands their horizons and helps them to keep their options open."

What can we offer?

• Supportive colleagues, committed to creative, adventurous and outdoor learning, professional collaboration and development
• Outstanding technology: an iPad for each member of teaching and support staff, 1:1 iPads for each child, a wide range of online resources and learning platforms to support teaching
• Dedicated Project Weeks during the year offering adventure, creativity and deep learning, in which staff can explore their own interests and those of their students across the unique natural environment of the islands
• Bespoke learning spaces and resources to support students with SEND, including the Primary and Secondary ‘Harbours’ (personalised work and wellbeing spaces) and a dedicated Sensory Room on St Mary’s
