Librarian and Literacy Support Coordinator

3 weeks ago

Wandsworth, United Kingdom Harris Federation Full time

**Summary**
The Harris Academy Battersea library is a fantastic space for learning. Situated between our English corridor and our playground, it is a hub of student activity. With a split-level balcony area for Sixth Form study and bespoke events, and a bank of computers that the Academy are refurbishing, the Library provides a bright and engaging environment for engaging with all that literature has to offer.

Our committed team of student librarians help administer the space at break and lunch, and the Library hosts a range of activities including chess, debate club and independent study groups.

All students in Key Stage 3 access the Library as part of their English curriculum, and we are excited for our new Librarian to play an active role in helping to shape what these lessons look like and how all students experience the space as a space for them.

Our new Librarian and Literacy Coordinator will have the opportunity to work closely with the English team and other school leaders to develop our catalogue of books, our library systems, and the space itself and will have the chance to really make the library their own. The Librarian will be based in the Library throughout the day, facilitating the space as a silent independent study area for Sixth Form students during lesson time while it’s available, but will also work as part of the English department and will therefore work closely with a vibrant and passionate team of professionals who are in and out of the Library all the time

Our Library benefits from our location in the heart of London and regularly welcomes authors and speakers from across the city and beyond. Likewise, sponsorship opportunities from various charitable foundations help us to maintain a fantastic and constantly growing stock of great texts and resources.

We hope you can see yourself as making this **_your Library_**_._**
**About Us**
Harris Academy Battersea is a mixed state secondary school serving a truly comprehensive community in the heart of London. We are an Ofsted ‘**Outstanding**’ school with a track record of delivering fantastic outcomes year on year for our students. In 2023, Ofsted visited the academy and judged us as remaining ‘outstanding’, commenting on our “**highly ambitious curriculum**”, the “**exceptionally high quality of education**” provided and noted that “**behaviour in the school is very strong**”. Nevertheless, we are extremely ambitious for our school and as we seek to continue to grow and develop, we are looking for more brilliant people to join us.

Our Academy is centred on the values of **Knowledge, Integrity and Resilience** and these underpin the way we work for both students and staff. Our staff are inclusive, diverse and committed to our mission: we develop aspirational young people to thrive in a changing world.

HABS offers a broad, academic and challenging curriculum founded on six key curriculum aims:

- To develop deep, long-lasting knowledge
- To develop students into accomplished readers, writers and orators
- To provide experiences within and beyond the classroom that enrich learning and ensure students can make informed choices about their futures
- To equip students to challenge injustice in all its forms
- To enable students to understand how they learn
- To support students to reflect on their choices and values to improve themselves and their community

These aims underpin all elements of our curriculum, and **we see our core academic curriculum and wider personal development curriculum as intrinsically linked**. All staff at the Academy contribute to the personal development of our students through their roles as tutors and through their contributions to the wider life of the academy.

A thriving school can only function with fantastic staff, and our vision is to make teaching at HABS both **enjoyable and sustainable**. The wellbeing of staff underpins every decision we make, and we seek to ensure that every member of staff can enjoy a work-life-balance enabling them to bring their best to work each day.

At HABS, **professional growth and development** is central to our mission. Our professional development motto is ‘improve, not prove’ and leaders are relentlessly focussed on supporting staff in getting even better through a wide range of internal and external training opportunities.
