Carlton Keighley is a small community secondary school, set in an attractive semi-rural location. In 2018 we joined Carlton Academy Trust (CAT), which oversees three secondary schools, three primary schools, and three special schools, collectively educating nearly 5,000 students and employing almost 1,000 members of staff. All CAT schools are rated either Outstanding or Good by Ofsted. Since then, the school has made rapid progress, gaining its first ever ‘Good’ rating from Ofsted in January 2020. Standards in the school have continued to improve due to our culture of high expectations, resulting in some of our best exam results ever and a rapidly expanding school roll. Although a remarkable journey, this is not the limit of the school’s ambitions as it aspires to the Trust motto of ‘Excellence for All’ and becoming an outstanding school over the next few years. Aspirations of all students are high and do not allow the significant disadvantages that they face to be an excuse for poor outcomes. Teaching and learning is the focus of everything we do, investing in staff through regular, high-quality research-led professional development.
Carlton Keighley is a great place to work with helpful, friendly, and supportive staff and excellent standards of student behaviour and conduct which promote a calm, purposeful atmosphere within lessons and around school. Staff welfare is a priority, and we strive to preserve a proper work-life balance through small class sizes and early Friday finishes, with meetings and paperwork kept to an absolute minimum.
Role Overview
We are looking to appoint a Pastoral & Learning Assistant. The successful candidate will work closely with the SENCo and colleagues to remove barriers to learning so that all students achieve excellence. This will involve acting as a key worker for students with specific pastoral needs that can impact their learning, as well as running small interventions to address these needs and support mainstream education provision.
Qualifications and Skills
If you are student-focused and ambitious for what all young people can achieve, we would welcome your application. We ask that you have a positive attitude to change, intelligence, high levels of integrity, and the capacity for sustained periods of hard work. Alongside a commitment to a culture of continuous improvement within an inclusive environment, you will have the ability to motivate and inspire students and possess a high level of interpersonal and communication skills.
