We are an ambitious school that puts student achievement and wellbeing at its heart.

 

In April 2020 we were judged by Ofsted to be ‘good’: ‘School leaders are keen to ensure all pupils achieve their best. Pupils respond well to leaders’ high expectations. There is a distinct sense of community in the school. Pupils grow in confidence and learn to work together well as a result.’

 

The successful candidate will meet the following essential criteria:

●       QTS;

●       a broad base of subject knowledge;

●       the ability to teach across Key Stages 3, 4 and 5;

●       the ability to lead the subject at KS3 and KS4

●       a willingness to lead extra-curricular activities within the department

●       a clear understanding of successful classroom practice

●       the ability to work effectively as part of a curriculum team;

●       the ability to maintain good classroom behaviour;

●       effective interpersonal skills;

●       demonstrable suitability to work with children and young people

 

The Hollyfield School has an extensive CPD programme which offers regular training sessions to enhance teachers’ classroom practice, which are led by all staff from within the school and the wider Multi Academy Trust. The Trust also provides excellent subject-level support, CPD and Leadership CPD through several programmes externally and within the Trust. 

 

This role is ideal for an individual who is committed to helping our students achieve their very best. For further details about The Hollyfield School please visit our website.
