An exciting opportunity for an inspirational teacher to lead a team of specialists within the English Department. Located on the outskirts of the rural market town of Newent; about 10 miles north-west of Gloucester city, and with magnificent 38-acre site and impressive sports facilities, Newent Community School and Sixth Form Centre are seeking to appoint a Head of English with a proven track record.
Newent Community School and Sixth Form Centre is an 11-18 comprehensive academy with approximately 1150 students currently on roll. The successful candidate will support and assist the Principal by providing dynamic and professional leadership and management to reflect ‘policy in practice’ by sharing and modelling the school’s vision and values in everyday work and practice; developing and motivating staff, setting high expectations, contributing to rigorous and ongoing self-evaluation and taking responsibility for leading specific areas/initiatives to secure further school-wide improvements.
We are looking for a dynamic Head of English to lead on this academic area of the school and contribute to its strategic direction. We need a self-motivated and creative individual who can demonstrate good interpersonal skills and expertise in leading, managing, and growing teams. Newent Community School and Sixth Form Centre has a strong team spirit and a passion for creating an inclusive learning environment, which enables the holistic development of all students. We promote exemplary relationships at all levels and strive for outstanding outcomes. All staff and students are valued highly. We are committed to developing individuals and working with them to reach their full potential.
Emphasis on staff wellbeing is an integral part of our culture and we provide an outstanding working environment. We continue to be a good school, as confirmed by Ofsted following their visit in March 2018, offering a high quality of education with recent observations recognising that our students are making strong progress in the majority of subjects. In addition, it was rightly observed that our students feel safe, and are safe, in school.
This is achieved by the school’s culture of care and vigilance. All staff are firmly committed to ensuring that every student achieves their full potential.
This school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people, and expects all staff, and volunteers, to share the same commitment. This position is subject to an enhanced DBS check.
