‘Greatness is not a function of circumstance. Greatness, it turns out, is largely a matter of conscious choice.’
Jim Collins
Thank you for your interest in The Dukeries Academy (TDA) and Academy Transformation Trust (ATT). Part of our Vision at TDA is to develop ‘Our People’. Being recognised as an exceptional place to work is important to us as we aspire to attract, retain, and develop the very best leaders and staff.
Our Mission at The Dukeries Academy is to transform lives by inspiring excellence and maximising opportunities for all. As a rapidly improving Academy, at the heart of the Ollerton community, we support every student to achieve the qualifications they need to progress confidently to the next stage of learning, training, or employment. To complement their qualifications, we also develop the skills and character traits that will allow our students to become positive change makers in their own and other people’s lives.
At the Dukeries Academy, we live our values. We aspire to act with integrity, are ambitious in our purpose, and are resilient in our pursuit of excellence. We are a Disability Confident Employer, and at ATT, we are passionate about Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and welcome all applications.
Our team of talented staff are friendly and professional, fully committed to the educational, pastoral, and well-being needs of our students. We are looking to appoint an enthusiastic and inspirational Teacher of English to join this team. Like us, you know that English underpins every aspect of daily living. You recognise that by sharing a range of inspiring texts and sharpening the language skills of students, you can release their creativity, enable them to find their own voices, and set their imaginations free. The ideal candidate will be an ambitious professional with the ability to teach across the age range. You will be joining a dynamic and exciting team, creating a culture of excellence amongst our students. Applications from ECTs are welcomed.
In return, you can expect:
* An inclusive and developmental leadership culture.
* Centralised behaviour systems with highly visible SLT and Faculty Leaders.
* Implementation using evidence-informed practice.
* Fantastic Professional Development opportunities through our ATT Institute including NPQs in partnership with Ambition.
* Inquiry-based Performance Development replacing traditional Performance Management.
* A sensible Feedback Policy.
As a valued teacher, you will use your sphere of influence to play an important part in taking TDA from Good to Great, and we can promise it will be an exciting and rewarding journey. Along the way, you will gain the satisfaction of #Transforming Lives in our Academy and across our Trust’s twenty-one schools.
