Job overview
Route 39 Academy
Do you have the ability to think outside the box; like a challenge and enjoy doing things differently? We are looking for colleagues with a track record of achievement who are able to contribute to all aspects of Academy life. Applicants should be able to demonstrate inspirational teaching and be committed to achieving outstanding outcomes for all students to enable them to live their lives to the full.
Route 39 Academy is a brand new 11-18 state 'free' school, which opened in September 2013 with our first group of students. We are a new choice for north Devon: Our students will benefit from new buildings, new staff and most of all a 21st Century approach to education.
We are seeking to appoint outstanding and inspirational teachers who are not constrained by the traditional approach to secondary education. People who see connected learning and strong relationships as the key to success and have high aspirations for the young people they work with.
Route 39 Academy has a specialism of personalisation with an extended school day. Humanities with English are an integral part of both the curriculum and the extended opportunities that our longer school day allows. We want our students to make the most of the local environment and see the classroom extending beyond the four walls of the school.
Route 39 Academy is a Free School with its own terms and conditions. Staff are valued and given time during the week for collaboration and their own learning and progression. Applications are welcomed from newly qualified teachers and experienced teachers alike.
