Perhaps you’re an ECT – or maybe you’ve already gained some teaching experience? Either way, we understand why you joined the profession. You want to be an amazing teacher. You want to help every student, irrespective of their background or abilities, to succeed. In short, you want to make a positive difference to your students’ lives.
We also understand that to achieve your aims, you need outstanding support and development that’s shaped to meet your needs and aspirations. Like first-rate induction and CPD programmes that include cross-Trust collaborative opportunities.
Join us and you can look forward to all of that, as well as a clear focus on coaching and a mentoring system that’s proved to be highly successful in helping new staff to integrate quickly. What’s more, you’ll find a strong peer-to-peer support structure in place to share and develop each other’s skills – and ECTs are given additional support and time off timetable to do so.
As for the culture here at Lode Heath, it’s all about working collaboratively and supporting each other to deliver exceptional teaching and learning for all of our students. Nowhere is this truer than in our PE Department. Here our motivated, innovative and talented team is driven by high aspirations and new ideas. We’re utilising fresh approaches to marking and feedback which make best use of peer and self-assessment, to help students ‘close the gaps’ as well as developing students’ wider skills like team working and leadership.
As a teacher, you will be an effective classroom practitioner who is ready to contribute to our successful team to ensure even higher attainment and more positive learning experiences for our students. You may already have some experience, or this might be your first position as a teacher, but your commitment and desire for excellence will be clear.
Nowhere is this truer than in our Science Department. Here our ambitious, forward-thinking and rapidly evolving team is driven by fresh thinking and new ideas. We’re pioneering innovative approaches to marking and feedback which make best use of peer and self-assessment, as well as developing students’ wider skills like teamworking and presentation.
There’s an exceptional environment waiting for you outside of work too. One of the most prosperous towns in the Midlands, Solihull offers plenty of superb amenities from its thriving shopping centre through to lively bars and first-class restaurants. Close to Birmingham Airport, the NEC and the new Resorts World development, it also has excellent transport links to Birmingham city centre and beyond.
