Teaching will be responsive to students’ abilities, with effective use of assessment and feedback to identify misconceptions and improve outcomes, particularly for disadvantaged students and those with SEND.

The role requires you to create a safe, positive, and purposeful learning environment where students feel confident to participate, ask questions, and take intellectual risks. You will contribute to long‑term curriculum planning, comply with examination board requirements, and support the continued development of the Science department.

• Strong planning and delivery skills with an inclusive approach.
• Experience of assessment, feedback and data use to drive learning outcomes.
• Commitment to safeguarding, equality and professional development.

Benefits

We are extremely proud of our school; the achievements of our pupils, the expertise, the dedication of our staff, our outstanding facilities and our reputation as a centre of excellence. Our ultra‑modern school buildings allow our pupils to flourish in facilities for learning that truly do enable us to trail blaze innovative learning – from the bright and attractive classrooms to the fully equipped outside play areas, the facilities allow our pupils to fully explore their talents and to shine in those areas that they most enjoy.

A building, however, is only as good as the people working within; we believe we have some of the best students and teachers in the world. Staff and pupils benefit from the investment we place in their development: as well as playing a key part in supporting other schools through the Achievement through Collaboration Trust, we have a variety of external partners from Google, The Schools, Students and Teacher Network, and with University College London. Partnerships like these create opportunities for all members of our team.

About the Trust

Achievement through Collaboration is a Trust with a purpose! We want our children, our staff and our schools to Achieve, Belong and Collaborate. Through a clear definition and articulation of the values and beliefs of Achievement through Collaboration, we’ve built an organisation with children at the heart of everything we do.

Our schools have the individuality to make the right choices for their pupils, staff and communities within a culture of collaboration. Our Trust Board owns the strategic plan, holding the executive team to account to deliver it whilst delegating the correct things to the Local Governing Bodies.

Key to maintaining our successful educational standards is a clear trust wide school improvement strategy/plan that meets the needs of every school wherever they are on their journey. Our Trust Wide strategy for capturing the most effective practice and transmitting it between more classrooms is in place and underpinned by a workforce talent management strategy that facilitates staff development and deployment. A strong central team connects the academies enabling leaders and teachers to concentrate on educational delivery.

We believe that all children, staff and schools benefit from belonging to a family of schools within a strong collaborative multi‑academy trust. We are an outward organisation, we embrace innovation and opportunities that benefit our pupils. AtC has invested in staff to build capacity to collaborate with other schools and we are now actively looking to grow further.
