Job overview

KS2/KS3 Teacher (Literacy and/or Numeracy), Northamptonshire

Are you the inspirational teacher we are looking for?

We are looking to appoint an outstanding teacher to a new post who has the necessary breadth of experience and expertise to bring about further improvements to our KS3 provision. As part of our successful transition programme, a small cohort of students will learn in a primary school like environment for approximately 50% of their timetable. This is a unique developmental role and carries a training commitment from the academy for the right person.

Your key responsibilities will be:

  • lead a nurture type group of students entering the academy at level 2 or 3 in Mathematics and English;
  • work closely with colleagues in curriculum and pastoral areas to ensure continuity and progression for all students;
  • ease the transition process from primary school for vulnerable students ;
  • to narrow the achievement gap for all students;
  • provide expertise in assessment, AfL and marking.

We believe the successful candidate could have a proven track record of meeting students' needs in either KS2 or KS3 with a focus on literacy and/or numeracy. If you can demonstrate that you have these qualities, and would like to be part of a team that has brought about considerable improvement, then we would love to hear from you.

We will offer:

  • an exciting role in a successful oversubscribed academy;
  • an opportunity to make a difference in the community;
  • a personal induction programme;
  • ongoing professional training and development as well as networking opportunities throughout the group of academies and United Learning;
  • a competitive salary, an on-site fitness centre, a bespoke personal development package and a flexible benefit scheme.

Our academy is transformational for young people and was judged 'Good' in all areas in January 2013. Since we opened as an academy, results have increased dramatically and this trend is continuing. Our value added is high at both KS4 and KS5 and we have just become a Leading Edge school, part of a national network for high-performing schools who are committed to working in partnership to raise achievement; innovation and sharing successful practice both within and beyond the network.

Closing date: 24 April 2014 at 5.00 p.m.
Interviews: w/c 28 April 2014

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. This post is subject to an enhanced DBS check.

Northampton Academy is a transformational comprehensive and non-selective school, serving a diverse community. We were proud to be judged 'outstanding' by Ofsted in all areas in March 2023. Our values, which underpin every decision we take, are RESPECT, DETERMINATION, AMBITION, TOLERANCE and INTEGRITY. We have a comprehensive student character-building programme, which has been nationally recognised through the Character Quality Mark Plus that was awarded in November 2021.

The leadership of the academy is completely determined to create an environment in which teachers can get on with their core role: delivering excellent lessons.  To this end, the student behaviour system is clear and simple and easy to administer in lessons. If action is needed beyond these simple steps, the pastoral and senior teams take all the burden away from the teachers, conducting detentions, following up and dealing with parents on your behalf. Teachers at the academy speak of this as one of the major benefits of working here. In addition to this, teachers are trusted to be professionals through:

  • A genuine ‘flexi-working’ approach with at least one opportunity a week to come in late or leave early for every teaching member of staff
  • No unannounced observations
  • No lesson grading
  • 3 extra INSET days per year for joint team planning
  • A feedback and recognition policy that lets teachers decide the best feedback mechanism for their own classes, rather than having this prescribed centrally
