Students have exceptionally high prior attainment on entry to the school. Standards are extremely high, both at GCSE and in the successful sixth form. However, given their high starting point at entry, a significant number of students could make better progress at key stages 3 and 4. The school recognises this and has made improvements as a result. The establishment of a system to monitor and track progress, the improvement of assessment and the recent development of a systematic lesson observation system, are all examples of changes intended to improve progress. Based on current progress of students and the results of assessments, early indications are that these changes are successful. This is an amazing opportunity for a graduate to gain relevant experience before beginning the PGCE in 2013. As part of the safeguarding of the pupils, you will be required to complete a CRB check and List 99. This is a full time post from September, and the successful applicant must be able to commit to an academic year with the school To apply, please send your CV to Alison at Edustaff as soon as possible.
