What skills and experience we're looking for
Thomas Gainsborough School is a consistently high performing, well resourced, and truly comprehensive school, with a firm belief in excellence for each and every student, placing students at the heart of their curriculum.
Following a change of contract for one of our excellent teachers, and some planned medical absences, we are seeking to appoint one or two teachers to flexible roles for a fixed period. This opportunity is perfect for someone considering a return to teaching or for regular work in a new school.
We are looking for someone who:
• Has experience of teaching at Key Stages 3 or 4
• Is committed to high standards and ensuring that all groups of students make progress
• Is willing to work flexibly
• Has excellent interpersonal and communication skills
• Is able to solve problems and be proactive
What the school offers its staff
In September 2015 the school moved into an award winning new building, where Maths is taught on a single floor. We also have a separate Sixth Form centre for our thriving Key Stage 5 students.
The team is experienced, very supportive and expectations for students are high.
The school continues to invest in high quality professional development and provides a range of employee benefits. We are closely linked to the Unity Research School and lead the way in many local and national initiatives including being an EdTech Demonstrator School and being an ArtsMark platinum school. We provide excellent support care and support for our staff and students. There are Lead Practitioners to support colleagues in continually improving their practice.
This is an excellent opportunity for any teacher with a passion for supporting young people to develop their teaching.
The school is located just south of Sudbury in Suffolk and is within easy reach of Colchester, Ipswich and Bury St Edmunds.
Commitment to safeguarding
Unity Schools Partnership is committed to safer recruitment, equal opportunities, safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people, and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. An enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check will be required.
