Vacancy Information

‘CAT employs rolling recruitment methodologies, with shortlisting and interviews for some roles taking place as and when applications are received. This may mean that some roles are recruited to before the closing date, and therefore advise that applications are made without undue delay’.

Carlton Bolling is a large secondary school of over 1600 students situated close to the centre of Bradford. It has been on a remarkable improvement journey over recent years, after going into Special Measures in 2014 under high-profile circumstances and being dubbed ‘The Most Broken School in the Country’. From this low point it underwent rapid improvement, attaining an ‘Outstanding’ rating from Ofsted less than two years after coming out of Special Measures. This success was followed up by accreditation as a World Class School in 2018, then being named ‘Secondary School of The Year’ in the 2019 Pearson/BBC National Teaching Awards. Despite this considerable success, the school still retains its innovative edge with several exciting initiatives being introduced over recent years, with many more to come.

Like all schools in the Trust, Carlton Bolling is a pleasant place to work with friendly, supportive, and helpful staff. Class sizes are small, averaging just 16 across all year groups in Maths and English, with slightly higher numbers in other subjects. Student behaviour and conduct is excellent, promoted and maintained by a large team of non-teaching Heads of Year. In line with Trust priorities, meetings, bureaucracy, and paperwork are kept to the absolute minimum, with staff regularly recognised and rewarded for their contribution to the school.

As the Associate Lead Teacher in Creative Studies you will have experience of teaching Food. The successful applicant will work with the Creative Studies Faculty to support the development of their practice and be committed to securing high expectations for learning and raising achievement in a multi-ethnic school, including the tracking and monitoring of student progress. The Associate Lead Teacher will report directly to the Director of Creative Studies Faculty, and it is expected they will support the strategic direction and development of the faculty across all areas and exam courses.

The Creative Studies Faculty is a large faculty with 21 teachers and 3 technicians. We follow the national curriculum for years 7 to 9 and students take options for a two-year GCSE in years 10 and 11. We offer GCSE subjects in Art & Design, Textiles, Digital Photography, Food and Nutrition, and Design Technology with BTEC Awards in Drama, Music & PE. Class sizes are around 20-22 students at KS3 and 20 at KS4 and staff are supported with some excellent resources and training.

Employee welfare is important to us and see them as the Trust’s prime asset. Therefore, we look after our staff and offer a comprehensive range of employee benefits through our Carlton Cares programme.

Please note: no additional supporting statements or CVs will be considered. 

We welcome visits to the school; to arrange a convenient time please contact Anita Riedel, Recruitment Manager.

Closing date for applications: 9am, 13th June 2024

The School has adopted the principles of Safer Recruitment and will safeguard and promote the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to do the same. Successful applicants will be required to undertake an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check and subscribe to the DBS update service. Carlton Academy Trust is an equal opportunities employer.
