This is an exciting opportunity for a confident and motivated teacher with a range of skills, drive, and passion to make a difference to students who are likely to have experienced little previous success within a school environment. Goldwyn students are of mixed ability. We offer a range of functional skills and GCSEs - it is important all our students succeed.
We are an outstanding school (Ofsted 2022) and always looking to develop our practice; as such, we are ever keen to employ candidates who have a range of professional experiences and can offer, not only quality teaching, but something ‘different’.
We welcome qualified teachers at any stage of their career, from mainstream primary or special education as well as newly qualified teachers.
Visits to our school are warmly welcomed and encouraged. Please contact Debbie Man, Head of School: debbie.man@goldwyn.kent.sch.uk
