Thank you for your interest in the post of Learning Cover Supervisor - Maternity Cover at Abbeyfield School.
Are you looking to join a school that offers excellent career development opportunities, where you will make a positive difference to young people’s lives and futures every day?
We are looking for the “right person” - someone who isn’t afraid to come forward with ideas and offer fresh thinking, someone who has energy and wants to be part of an exciting and dynamic team.
Teamwork is central to the culture of the school, and it is this, and a shared desire to support and challenge every student in order for them to achieve their personal best, which shapes everything we do at Abbeyfield. ’Leaders are determined to help pupils achieve their best’ (Ofsted 2021).
We have very high expectations and aspirations of our students and of ourselves. This was highlighted in our recent Ofsted report, “Leaders have high expectations of staff. They also care about staff well-being. Staff morale is high” and “Leaders present a strong, unified and motivated team”. Teaching and support staff all play a key role at Abbeyfield in putting the needs of our students at the very heart of all we do.
Our Quality First Teaching Charter ensures a focus on high quality teaching and learning supported by an ambitious programme of pedagogical and subject specific CPD. While academic achievement is fundamental, we believe that all staff have a vital role in students’ social and personal development. This ensures that students can be equipped with the life and employability skills needed for successful adulthood.
High expectations for behaviour for learning are supported by a strong Head of Year & pastoral team alongside a behaviour team of non-teaching staff. There is a strong emphasis on restorative justice and positive behaviour management alongside our praise and consequence systems. ‘Pupils behave well. They are polite and courteous’ The school’s systems for pastoral care are strong (Ofsted 2021).
If you are passionate about what we are trying to achieve and you feel you can make a real difference in this role, then we look forward to receiving your application.
You may ring me for an informal conversation on: 07842 434021.
Kind Regards,
Fiona Aris, Principal
