They have excellent classroom management skills and set high standards for behaviour and focus. They are a strong and influential presence amongst staff and students alike.

Our curriculum and outcomes within Business are strong, the successful candidate would be able to hit the ground running with superb support from leadership, yet be afforded the freedom to shape and contextualise the curriculum further to suit the needs of our specific cohort of learners.

The word 'outstanding' appears a lot in advertisements for teachers – but at Swanshurst School, it means more. Swanshurst is an 'Outstanding School' for girls with over 1830 students on roll aged 11-19 years. We offer excellent support and CPD for staff at all stages of their career.

In our latest inspection, Ofsted found pupils at Swanshurst to be "happy, well cared for and that they secure excellent academic and personal outcomes" they described the girls as "polite, respectful and courteous." Needless to say, we are incredibly proud of them and of all our staff who contribute to the "purposeful learning culture within the school that characterises the work of staff and pupils"

How have we achieved our current strengths? Quite simply, we employ teachers who are as ambitious, passionate and dedicated as we are. These amazing people work hard to ensure that our pupils make the best progress they possibly can. Whether they are the most able or those requiring additional support, every child deserves nothing less than the very best teaching.

Not surprisingly, there's a real buzz about our school. If you would like to be part of it – and teach children who genuinely want to learn – we would love to hear from you.
