Doncaster, Doncaster, United Kingdom Astrea Academy Woodfields Full time

Do you want to be part of a team where you will help make a lasting impact on our students and rapidly accelerate their progress?

Do you want to work in a school where you are free to teach, with impeccable student behaviour and unhindered by bureaucracy?

This is an excellent opportunity for an ECT.

Astrea Academy Woodfields is an 11-18 Multi Academy Trust school situated in Balby, Doncaster, which has around 800 students. The academy is easily accessible via the A1(M).

We are committed to a knowledge-rich curriculum and a traditional approach to teaching, behaviour and culture. We believe that schools must teach powerful knowledge, 'the best that has been thought and said' and an 'entitlement curriculum' for all. We believe in explicit instruction and have been greatly influenced by Lemov's 'Teach Like A Champion', Rosenshine and recent developments in cognitive science. We believe that the creation of a scholarly culture that is warm and strict, disciplined and joyful, where there is 'purpose not power', ensuring impeccable behaviour, where teachers can focus on teaching and pupils can focus on learning, underpins everything.

We are values-driven and our vision is to provide an inclusive, aspirational and academic education for all our students, so that all of them will learn, thrive and lead successful lives. We are unapologetically ambitious for every child, no matter what their background, prior attainment or needs. We want to ensure that all our students have the option to be able to go to university or aspirational alternative. We are not going to reduce expectations because of a child's background or home life, or because they are new to English or have a special education need. In fact, the opposite is true. It is our job to redouble our efforts to help children overcome these barriers so that they can flourish.

We value our staff highly and treat workload very seriously. Our systems are high leverage, ensuring you can really focus on your core purpose – teaching, in a sustainable way, unhindered by bureaucracy or poor behaviour.

What we offer:

Huge support and progression opportunitiesA knowledge rich curriculum, built on 'powerful knowledge' and a traditional T&L approach built around Rosenshine and TLACCollaborative planning with centralised, shared units of work and resourcesA feedback policy focused on whole class feedback – no onerous marking policiesDisruption-free learning and a 'warm/strict' behaviour systemHighly visible/supportive senior leaders who have your backCentralised detentions, including homework detentions (you do not need to organise/run/chase them at all)No formal graded lesson observations – just ongoing 'no-stakes' instructional coaching, helping you to continuously developExcellent ongoing CPD, career development and promotion opportunities across the Astrea South Yorkshire regionOpportunity to complete NPQsAn unrivalled professional progression modelA very central location accessible to motorways and public transport. What we are looking for:

The successful candidate will be:

A highly effective English teacher.Aligned to our values and mission. If you are the type of person who fits with our culture, you will love working here.Someone who passionately believes that all children can achieve, no matter what their starting point, background or needs.
