Dagenham, Greater London, United Kingdom Jo Richardson Community School Full time

Please note that only fully completed Jo Richardson School application forms will be considered. Due to our safeguarding procedures, we do not accept CVs.

JRCS

This is a great opportunity to join a highly successful school as part of a friendly and very hard-working department. Established as a brand-new school in 2002, we moved into our award-winning £30 million accommodation in 2005. The school is located within easy reach of central London via the District Line and yet just minutes by car from the Essex countryside.

The school prides itself on providing both teaching and nonteaching staff with the most appropriate and effective support to ensure that their professional development needs are fully met and that there is a high level of challenge in the opportunities they are offered. Wednesday afternoons are devoted to CPD and the school has a very strong record of developing staff. Please visit the "join us as a member of staff" page of our award-winning website to learn more about what makes JRCS such a special place to work. Staff wellbeing is important to us, we are a caring and supportive school. Staff turnover is low, and staff enjoy being part of our supportive and friendly community.

In 2022/23 JRCS achieved another set of excellent outcomes at both KS4 and KS5. 65% of our students achieved a level 4+ in both English and Maths and 47% achieved a level 5 pass in both English and Maths. Our progress 8 score is 0.26 which represents well above average progress. At KS5 our A*-C grade was 83%; with 51% achieving A*-B grades. Our vocational students achieved an average BTEC grade of Distinction*. Our Sixth Form continues to work in partnership with four other schools to deliver the highest quality post-16 education pathways for our students.

We pride ourselves on being a truly inclusive school and this is actively underpinned by our motto 'Success for All'. Academic rigour runs alongside a commitment to extra-curricular activities and we offer our students a wide range of opportunities to pursue their studies both inside and outside the classroom. Our extensive range of extra-curricular activities, together with trips to Rome, Berlin, France, WWI trenches in Ypres, skiing in the USA, and our highly regarded Duke of Edinburgh programme, is second to none and ensures all students get the chance to extend their academic, social, and cultural experiences outside of the classroom. New staff are encouraged to participate in trips.

At the school's most recent Section 8 inspection in January 2023, Ofsted stated that Jo Richardson Community School continues to be a good school. There is enough evidence of improved performance to suggest that the school could be judged outstanding if they were to carry out a graded (section 5) inspection now. The school's next inspection will be a graded inspection.

Science at JRCS

Science is a thriving department at JRCS and those appointed will be joining a very effective team in first-class accommodation. We have outstanding facilities – each lab has a computer, projector and a visualiser and is fully equipped with science practical apparatus. Our experienced and dedicated technicians ensure that equipment is available and ready for all lessons. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to teach KS3 to KS4 students in Science, Biology, Chemistry and/or Physics with the potential to teach their specialist subject at KS5. We have many experienced PGCE and ECT mentors so this post will be suitable for either an experienced teacher or an ECT.

In KS3 we have developed our own course based on and going beyond the national curriculum which was referenced in the school's most recent Ofsted report. In KS4 we offer GCSE Combined Science and the separate sciences of Biology, Chemistry and Physics. In KS5 we offer A Levels in Biology, Chemistry and Physics.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an enthusiastic colleague to join our vibrant and successful department.

High quality induction, including a two-week ECT school-based immersion programme in July, is available to all staff at JRCS as part of our strong commitment to continuing professional development.

Please log onto our website for further details about the school, this post, a link to our recent Ofsted report and the application process itself. All applications should be made online by clicking the 'Apply Now' link. Please contact Margaret Stone or Vicky Garland on if you wish to arrange a visit to the school.

JRCS is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. The successful applicant will be required to apply for an enhanced DBS disclosure.
