Thank you for your interest in the role of Teacher of English. We are looking for an enthusiastic subject specialist to join our committed English department to cover a period of Maternity Leave from February 2025.
We are proud members of the Greenshaw Learning Trust, a ‘family’ of like-minded schools, that collaborate to provide mutual support, share their good practice and learn from each other, whilst retaining and developing our own distinctive character. At Yate Academy we firmly believe in disruption free learning and in fostering an environment where all children are able to learn and all teachers are able to teach. We believe our students deserve the highest expectations and high quality teaching is central to everything we do. As such all staff have dedicated intellectual preparation time as part of their allocated contact time. This deliberately facilitates the sharing of knowledge, best practice and planning.
We also understand the pressures on school staff and the lack of flexible working options in many schools compared to other industries. The academy is currently undergoing a trial year in which every member of staff is allocated one afternoon every two weeks (pro rata) as flexible working time. If you are a diligent professional with high standards who values exceptional student behaviour and a workplace which truly prioritises learning, we want to hear from you.
