Sheffield, United Kingdom Hays Specialist Recruitment - Education Full time

HAYS ARE WORKING EXCLUSIVELY WITH OUTWOOD GRANGE ACADEMIES TRUST, TO SUPPORT THEM IN APPOINTING TO THIS POST FOR SEPTEMBER 2024.

We are an Ofsted "Good with Outstanding leadership" 11-16 academy, with state-of-the-art facilities, based in the steel city of Sheffield. We are delighted that in its latest report, Ofsted noted that 'staff are very proud to be part of Outwood Academy City,' and that our 'staff appreciate the high-quality professional development opportunities they receive' which we offer working closely with the wider Outwood Family.
Serving the bustling city of Sheffield, Outwood Academy City was constructed in 2011 with state-of-the-art facilities and joined Outwood Grange Academies Trust three years later. The school has undergone a huge transformation for its 1200 students, with an innovative curriculum and a personalised approach to learning enabling them to realise their vocational, practical, creative and academic abilities. This was recognised by Ofsted in February 2019, when the academy was judged 'Good with Outstanding Leadership'. Inspectors noted that, "Leaders and teachers demonstrate high expectations for all pupils. They are determined that pupils achieve well in their subjects".We believe this transformation is due to our knowledge-rich curriculum, designed to personalise learning for every student, and our exceptionally high standards, helping all students to reach their potential. We have won numerous awards as a school and are an IQM Centre of Excellence, which highlights that inclusion at all levels is of paramount importance to us. As we continue to improve, help to take us to the next level.Our English Department consists of ten teachers and two one-to-one tutors. More experienced teachers will value the clear sense of purpose and organisation in the department and recently-trained colleagues will find it a rewarding place to start a career in English teaching.There is a library with a wide range of fiction to support students' reading needs which is run by a full-time enthusiastic librarian.The department has created a rich and engaging KS3 curriculum organised around literary themes (for example, diversity, fantasy and identity) which are delivered through different units which develop knowledge in reading and writing as well as increasing cultural capital. A wide range of poetry is embedded in all KS3 units and three Shakespearean texts are also delivered within the Key Stage.The programme of study is fully resourced with high-quality materials produced by staff across the trust who know this specification well. We have the benefit of support from the trust's team of expert English directors, who provide support, materials, advice, coaching and who model and team-teach in lessons alongside us to develop our expertise.
