I am delighted that you have expressed an interest in working at St Wilfrid’s Church of England Academy.
We are seeking to appoint a strong, caring teacher to work in our Inclusion Unit called “Thrive.” The pupils who attend Thrive, follow a mainstream curriculum, and are visited by subject specialists in Mathematics, English and Science. Some pupils visit the main building to complete their options subjects. We are looking for a teacher, who along with their HLTA, can support the students through their personalised academic study.
The successful candidate must enjoy working with pupils with SEMH needs, and enjoy teamworking to meet the needs of the pupils. You must be flexible and positive. Thrive was established on nurture principles, and the usual class ratio is up to 2 adults to 8 pupils. This is a maternity leave position.
If you were to be appointed, you will join a team of highly-skilled practitioners, in a Christian context, who genuinely care about making life better for their pupils.
As an Academy, we seek to embrace new methodologies whilst maintaining a balance with traditional practice, to bring about examination success. All students at Key Stage 3 and 4 have a 1:1 mobile device; this is an example of our commitment to use modern technology to maximise learning.
This means that the pupils in Thrive have the same access to curriculum materials as their peers.
We would welcome interested candidates to visit Thrive, and meet the staff and pupils and hear their experiences of the support they receive.
Please submit the Teaching Staff application form, which can be downloaded from the Academy website, along with a letter of application of not more than two A4 sides detailing how your experiences to date qualify you for the role. This should be sent to knightingale@saintwilfrids.com.
The closing date for the receipt of applications is 9am on Monday 9th December 2024.
I look forward to receiving your application.
Yours faithfully,
Mrs V Michael
Principal
