Walsall, United Kingdom Joseph Leckie Academy Full time

We are seeking to appoint an excellent classroom practitioner who is an enthusiastic, innovative and engaging teacher of history with other specialisms to join a dynamic and expanding Academy. The Academy offers a wide programme of options at Key Stage 4 and 5. We are seeking to appoint a candidate that can offer history at KS3 and 4 as well as one or more of the other humanities based subjects within the Arts and Humanities Faculty (or beyond). The Arts and Humanities Faculty include the following subjects: History at KS3, 4 and A Level History, A Level Government and Politics; BTEC Level 3 Law; Religious Education, at KS3 and 4, Sociology at KS4 and 5, Art at KS3, 4 and 5, Music at KS3 and 4, and Drama at KS3 and 4. Alternatively, the successful candidate may offer a subject in one of our other new faculties. The newly formed Arts and Humanities Faculty has a large team of experienced, dynamic and forward thinking teachers and middle leaders.


The successful candidate to be appointed into the maternity role for one year within History to teach mainly History at KS3 and 4 but may also teach BTEC Level 3 Law or to offer other Arts and Humanities subjects or other subjects across the Academy as needs arise in the curriculum and timetable. There are ample opportunities to teach Post 16 as the subject and faculty contribute to a wide range of Post 16 courses.  We would welcome applications from teachers early in their careers, with excellent support for our ECT’s through to experienced staff. As an expanding academy, there may be opportunities for an outstanding candidate to become a permanent employee at the end of the year subject to the curriculum needs within the subject and other areas they can offer based on our needs at that time*.

 

The faculty is at the forefront of change and the Head of Faculty will be a member of the extended leadership team. There are several members of the faculty team that hold Academy wide TLR’s with Academy responsibilities including two Lead Practitioners, one for Teaching and Learning and one for Behaviour and the ECT Professional Mentor and PGCE Lead Mentor, so there is a wealth of support to all colleagues within the team.  The Academy has a large Sixth Form and this faculty contributes significantly to courses and numbers Post 16 so the successful candidate will have the opportunity to contribute to development of Level 3 as well as the opportunity to shape the future of other A Levels as we continue to expand our Sixth form. There are plenty of opportunities to experience teaching at Post 16 as well as contributing to Post 16 developments.


As a result of excellent practice and support, both of these subjects have evidence of outstanding successes for student progress at Key Stage 3, 4 and 5 and results in History and the Post 16 courses are some of the highest in the Academy year on year. This is due to the experience of the staff and willingness to go the extra mile to support and develop opportunities for our students, especially with our early entry History results in year 10 which are outstanding.


The Academy has a large Sixth Form of well over 240 students and the Arts and Humanities Faculties contribute significantly to course and numbers Post 16 so the successful candidate will have the opportunity to teach at Post 16 in the future as well as contribute to development T level(s) and to shape the future of other A Levels and vocational courses in both faculties as they consider appropriate and suitable alternatives to meet the needs of our learners. There are plenty of opportunities to experience teaching at Post 16 as well as contributing to Post 16 developments.


Joseph Leckie Academy is a vibrant, exciting and innovative mixed 11-18 Converter Academy with an overall positive progress score every year since 2017 and within the top 3 non-selective schools in Walsall every year since 2017.  With our excellent results and being graded as “Good” across all areas by Ofsted (October 2021) and our continual desire and drive to continue moving forward, this is an exciting time for you to join our team. Since 2017, the Academy has remained as one of the top non-selective secondary school for progress in Walsall based on validated results and is one of the highest performing schools in the region for student progress.

 

Our last Ofsted inspection in 2021 we were judged the Academy to be good in all categories and for overall effectiveness with some excellent feedback across all subjects and our Pastoral Care. The Academy was judged to be good in all categories and for overall effectiveness with some excellent feedback across all subjects and our Pastoral Care as can be seen below in some of their comments:


“We pride ourselves on our high expectations of all learners. This creates a calm learning environment where teachers can teach and students can learn as was clearly supported by the feedback from Ofsted. We offer a highly supportive environment and are committed to ensuring outstanding teaching, behaviour, progress and achievement. Staff are proud to work in our Academy.”

 

Ofsted further commented that: “Pupils are proud of their school. Their attendance and punctuality are good. Pupils are safe. The school is calm and purposeful, and disruption to learning is rare. Few pupils underachieve and most flourish. Pupils of all abilities are enthusiastic learners who enjoy their learning.”


“We have an ambitious curriculum, mapped in detail and a curriculum that is broad and deep, including the two year Key Stage 3. Students study a wide range of subjects at Key Stage 4 and there are plans to develop this further to support their next stage in education or employment and training. Leaders know what knowledge students should be taught and have sequenced learning well so students learn content in the right order and teachers and support staff work very well to and go the extra mile to support and improve students learning. Mistakes are spotted and modified through frequent assessment of learning. Inspectors commented on the very effective use of support staff both faculty and SEND staff to support students learning, including developing literacy skills and our SEND students flourish. All students are well prepared to go on to higher education or employment and training.”


We are an expanding Academy with numbers growing, now well over 1500 and continuing to be over- subscribed at Key stage 3 and in our large Sixth form and so this is an ideal opportunity and an exciting time for you to join our team and there will excellent opportunities for you and this role to grow and develop further.


This is a fantastic opportunity for an ambitious candidate to join our dynamic team at the forefront of change and to make a real difference to our drive to continue to raise standards of education in the Academy. If you believe that you have the skills and abilities to take on this role, we would love to hear from you.
