TEACHER OF BUSINESS Join a leading school which prides itself on the high quality of education, enrichment and care provided to all and is committed to the wellbeing of students and staff. An exciting opportunity has arisen to appoint a well-qualified and inspirational teacher of business who is committed to the highest standards of learning, teaching and achievement. This is an exciting opportunity to teach business and progress your career in a school judged by Ofsted as ‘outstanding’.

The successful candidate will also have very high expectations and an unwavering commitment to all students maximising their potential through outstanding learning, teaching and support. We are a fantastic learning community, set in one of Yorkshire’s most scenic areas, whose facilities will soon be transformed with multi-million-pound capital investment from the DfE’s School Rebuilding Programme. Our graded Ofsted inspection of March 2017 confirmed us as an ‘Outstanding’ school in all areas, where students “attain highly and make excellent progress”, where behaviour is “exemplary” and where “teachers go the extra mile to make sure students achieve, feel cared for and thrive within a supportive and productive learning environment”. Since Ofsted’s highly positive endorsement, the school has continued to go from strength to strength with overall student progress at GCSE in the highest well above average category at .53 in 2024. If you have the subject expertise, vision, commitment, and people skills to contribute to this successful department, coupled with the ability to engage and enthuse our students with a love of business, then we would like to hear from you.??
