Cranleigh, United Kingdom Cranleigh School Full time

Cranleigh is a leading fully co-educational independent boarding and day Senior School consisting of around 700 girls and boys of 13-18 years of age. There is also a Preparatory School in close proximity. Cranleigh aspires to be a beacon of excellence in learning and teaching and is committed to the continuing professional development of all employees.

**THE DEPARTMENT**

The Department is accommodated in a newly refurbished facility including superb rehearsal studios, two independent teaching classrooms, a flexible multi use large capacity performance space, a smaller scale thrust theatre, green room and dressing rooms.

The Department prides itself on the fact that it produces performances of a professional standard that both entertains and challenges its considerable audiences. There are currently three teachers in the Department, alongside a full-time Theatre/Production Manager and an Assistant. The team is a friendly and open one, committed to providing all pupils with the opportunity to fulfil their potential. Weekly Department meetings give the opportunity for colleagues to share good practice and discuss both curricular and school-wide issues.

**THE CURRICULUM**

The department teaches the EDUQAS Specification at both GCSE and A Level.

At A Level the department teaches approximately 20 students across the two year groups, all of whom regularly attend high quality live theatre (usually in London). At GCSE the department teaches around 70 students across year 10 and 11. In the last 3 years the department has attained outstanding results: averaging 67% A*-A at A Level and 81% grade 9-7 at GCSE.

**THE POST**

The responsibilities of a Graduate Assistant in Drama will include to:

- teach approximately 0.6 of a full-time teaching load to a high standard, with teaching sets to be decided by the Head of Department;
- prepare suitable teaching material for each lesson and to follow the departmental programmes of study;
- contribute to the making and sharing of department resources;
- set an appropriate level and quantity of prep in line with School and departmental Assessment and Feedback policies;
- provide written reports, report grades and summative assessment marks by the deadlines set by both the Head of Department and the Deputy Head Academic;
- be available during drop-in clinics where students can get extra help; and
- attend weekly department meetings.

**THE PERSON**

In addition, they would be expected to get involved in all aspects of this busy boarding school, including acting as a tutor to a group of students within a House and doing one evening duty per week. All teachers are expected to contribute to the School’s co-curricular programme alongside their academic responsibilities; a willingness to assist with any of the school’s main sports - rugby, hockey, netball, football, cricket, athletics and tennis - would be beneficial.
