London, Greater London, United Kingdom Westminster Academy Full time
"Education is Success"

An opportunity to work in the only non-private Academy in London that offers both International Baccalaureate (IB) programmes at KS5.

Our School

Westminster Academy is a good International Business and Enterprise Academy and IB World School serving a diverse community of 11–18-year-olds in Central London. The Academy is proud of its work to improve outcomes for students in an inclusive, supportive environment. As a member of the collaborative WA community, you will have the opportunity to work alongside an exceptionally talented group of colleagues who are committed to continued professional growth and improvement of the student experience.

Our IB Diploma Programme

We are one of very few non-fee-paying schools in the UK offering the IB Diploma and Career-Related programmes, and we have a longstanding commitment and proven excellence in their delivery. The appeal of the IB Diploma is based on the philosophy of the programme; foreign languages, international-mindedness and service learning are combined with a sustained focus on thinking skills, academic writing and subject-specific rigour. It is a challenging programme, but each year, we see our IB Diploma graduates leave WA as mature, resilient, knowledgeable, principled and capable individuals, well prepared for the challenges of studying at university.

Teaching at WA

WA's ethos is committed to developing the best teachers to give our students the best possible education. We aim to use, disseminate and promote a research-led approach to develop classroom practice that enables all students to thrive and make progress. The International Baccalaureate (IB) promotes pedagogies that are student-centred and inquiry-led, and this has inspired our current strategic aims, which are looking to embed and develop these strategies further. To achieve this, we prioritise and devote generous funding to teacher professional learning, both in-house and external, to support our staff at the different stages of their teaching and leadership careers.

Our Humanities Department

The Humanities department is a highly motivated team of teachers and leaders who inspire a passion for their subjects – Geography, History, Religious Studies, Citizenship and Business – and who collaborate across departments on exciting whole-school initiatives. The department has a constant focus on the quality of teaching and learning, supported by weekly peer-to-peer professional development. Our outstanding extra-curricular provision takes advantage of our London connections, such as opportunities with the Holocaust Educational Trust, Solutions Not Sides and the Living in Harmony project by the Woolf Institute/Cambridge University. The Humanities department also plays a significant role in the delivery of the new RSHE curriculum, which is statutory for all schools. A successful candidate would most likely be required to teach outside of their subject specialism for a small portion of their teaching allocation.

The ideal candidate will be:

An excellent classroom teacher who is committed to the success of each individual student Flexible to teach other subjects within the Humanities departmentExperienced in teaching the relevant subject(s) with a relevant university degreeAble to demonstrate an ongoing commitment to their own professional growth and developmentPassionate about their subject to inspire our studentsWhat we offer:A competitive salary and benefits packageAdditional responsibilities remunerated via an Extra Responsibilities Allowance (ERA) of £6,000Sign-up incentives available for experienced IB educatorsAn excellent programme of continuing professional developmentRelevant training with the International Baccalaureate for teachers of Key Stage 5A commitment to staff wellbeing, including access to the local gym, staff social events, free parking and a wellbeing committeeExcellent transport links and close to central London for the social life and sights of LondonHow To Apply

Please note we do not accept CVs.

Closing date: 9pm on Sunday 12th May 2024.

We may interview candidates ahead of the closing date so early application is advised. The Academy reserves the right to interview and appoint prior to the advertised closing date.

We are committed to safeguarding children and promoting their welfare. As such, there may be additional safeguarding requirements and responsibilities depending on the nature of the role advertised and the extent to which the role will involve contact with children.
