Grace College is a place of boundless potential, and we are seeking to recruit two skilled and passionate tutors who will help to ensure that when students require an alternative pathway to remain part of our school community, they are provided with bespoke tuition in Maths, English and Personal Development.
As a tutor, you will report directly to the Assistant Vice Principal: Student Support. Each student who accesses tutoring will have two sessions (either AM or PM) in a bespoke centre on the school site where their tutor will facilitate their learning in Maths, English and Personal Development.
In this role, you will plan and implement bespoke learning in Maths, English and Personal Development for Key Stage 3 and 4 students in small groups. This will involve:
* Liaising with Heads of Department (Maths, English and Personal Development) to plan and implement lessons that ensure students are broadly following the curriculum that their peers are following, creatively adapting resources to meet the needs of students who are accessing tutoring
* Delivering literacy-based learning to support students who are reading and writing below age-related expectations to support their learning in the centre or complete at home
* Regularly setting appropriate targets for each student, assessing students’ work and reporting on student progress and attainment, with reference to EHCPs and student profiles; preparing reports and participating in reviews where necessary
You will establish a stable, caring and supportive learning environment which enables students to grow in character, including:
* Ensuring that the routines within the classroom and spaces in the provision are effective and supporting students to increasingly adhere to these routines
* Ensuring that during each lesson or activity planned, students are supported to manage their own conduct when they are dysregulated by following their personalised learning plans so that students who have experienced trauma, loss, rejection and other barriers to education can engage, learn, grow, heal and succeed
* Ensuring that students increasingly take responsibility for themselves, supporting them to take account of their conduct when something has gone wrong and introducing systems that recognise and celebrate good conduct
As an 11–19 secondary school serving nearly 1,300 students in central Gateshead, we have a clear vision for excellence in character education, the examined curriculum and in service to our community, grounded in our strong Christian ethos. We are part of the Emmanuel Schools Foundation, which opens exceptional opportunities for knowledge sharing and career development. We have a clear model for school improvement to provide an outstanding education for all students and are relentless in the pursuit of this goal. You will be central to delivering our strategy as you transform both the school and our students’ futures.
