Ripon is a thriving community with a magnificent cathedral making it one of Yorkshire’s most loved cities. The city’s history is entwined with the church and its proximity to the beautiful Fountains Abbey. Ripon is a delightful city with riverside and canal sidewalks that reach into the countryside and buildings that span the last thousand years.

We are seeking to appoint an inspiring and enthusiastic leader to lead our dynamic English department. This is a fantastic opportunity for a committed, ambitious, outstanding teacher of English to join an exceptional school and a high performing Trust.

**English department**

The English Department has eight teachers, a specialist literacy teaching assistant and a one-to-one tutor. The department includes experienced practitioners together with recently qualified colleagues who have a shared goal: _Students First _

We are proud of our school library (Learning Resource Centre - LRC) offering a wide range of texts and resources to support students’ reading needs.

The team has created a rich and engaging KS3 curriculum organised around literary themes (for example, ‘The tragic hero’, ‘journeys’, ‘identity’ and ‘love’) which are delivered through different units to develop knowledge in reading and writing as well as increasing cultural capital.

There is a strong whole-school literacy strategy which aims to ensure that all students gain the educational and personal benefits of reading. This includes reading in form time, Accelerated Reader and a variety of reading interventions for readers who are not yet proficient.

Outwood Grange Academies Trust (OGAT) secondary academies use Eduqas GCSE English Language and English Literature qualifications. The programme of study is fully resourced with high-quality materials produced by staff across the trust who know this specification well. We aim to help all our teachers to become ‘experts’ in preparing students for GCSE examinations, using our thorough and systematic methods devised over many years. 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. As an indication of our success, each year over 80% of year 11 students achieve a pass in English, with strong positive average progress for all students.

**Interim Chief Executive Officer: Lee Wilson**

**Principal: Rachel Donohue**

We are proud that **Outwood Academy Ripon **is rated Outstanding by Ofsted. We are an 11-16 academy based in the cathedral city of Ripon, near the UNESCO World Heritage Site encompassing the magnificent Studley Royal Deer Park, including the well-preserved Cistercian Fountains Abbey. Our success is one of the most impressive in North Yorkshire, and we have been recognised for our consistently excellent outcomes in progress and attainment.

We aim to promote the highest standards of academic achievement through inspiring teaching and learning, with a curriculum designed to stretch and enrich our students’ experience. Our success speaks for itself as we are above the national average for the number of students achieving at a Grade 5 or above in English & maths GCSEs, and we have won numerous awards as a school including the Carnegie Mental Health Silver Award, Anti-Bullying Alliance Bronze Award and being accredited with the prestigious IQM Centre of Excellence status, which highlights that inclusion at all levels is of paramount importance to us

Put simply, we take pride in serving the local community, ensuring everyone has a right to learn.
