Dear Applicant,
We are a welcoming and inclusive 11-16 school that has, due to its popularity, grown rapidly in size and oversubscribed from September 2024 with c.770 students on roll. Our mission is ‘Creating and Achieving a Brighter Future’ and we live by our mantra ‘Be Kind, Aspire, Persevere, Achieve’ by providing the very best education for our young people.
We want our students to be equally supported and challenged during the five years they spend with us and for them to enjoy their time with us as we nurture them to become confident, happy and successful young adults. We are deeply ambitious for every individual and upon leaving us, we are determined they will be able to access the very best opportunities in further and higher education.
As a school we want to become ever more outward-looking, broadening our links and partnerships to further develop Maidenhill School as a learning hub for the wider community. The governors and I are clear that we want Maidenhill School to be the ‘school of choice’ for parents and young people.
Most Recent Staff Survey – (completed anonymously by ALL staff):

Due to the implementation of our new reading strategy, the English department is needing to recruit to support its aims. We are seeking to appoint a caring and committed person to join the team. We are a school where we pride ourselves in knowing our students really well. By working closely together as a team we can ensure individual student achievement is at the heart of everything we do. This is an opportunity for someone who wants to broaden their skills as you can, and will be, fully involved in all aspects of our school’s life whilst supporting students with their reading, so that they can access the curriculum and open doors for their future. You will be joining at an exciting time and will help shape the delivery of our reading strategy from September 2025.
The successful applicant will:
1. Be an effective communicator and a team player
2. Have a love of reading
3. Have strong organisational skills
4. Be committed to the development of young people to ensure their future is as bright as possible

This is an exciting position and would suit someone who is currently in a similar role or wanting to work with young people to enhance their literacy skills, resulting in greater options in their future. The reading strategy is for launch in September 2025 and you will play a key part in its delivery.
