Job overview
Archbishop Sentamu Academy
TLR (negotiable for a suitably qualified candidate)
Archbishop Sentamu Academy is an 11-18 Church of England Academy, sponsored by the Diocese of York. We were established in September 2008 on the site of our predecessor school, and moved into a superb, £35 million pound building in September 2011. We currently have around 1500 students on roll and our sixth form is growing rapidly. This year our student numbers have grown to include around 200 post-16 students on roll (with further growth expected).
In Ofsted terms, we have recently been inspected and improved upon our judgement as a 'Good' school, adding 'outstanding' for Leadership and Management, Pupil Behaviour and Curriculum. In 2013 we achieved a record year of GCSE results - overall, 64% of students gained 5+ A* to C including English and Maths, and 99% achieved 5+ A* to C. We are now preparing to push onwards.
The English Department are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and inspiring Teacher of English to join our team. We are proud that the department has improved strongly year on year and now achieves outstanding success, with many choosing to continue their studies in English literature and language at A Level.
The successful candidate will be:
- a routinely good/outstanding teacher with the ability to teach all aspects of English at KS3/KS4 and ideally KS5;
- someone with excellent knowledge of relevant curriculum areas;
- able to encourage and enthuse students to achieve their full potential;
- an excellent communicator, with strong planning and organisational skills.
There would also be an opportunity to teach Film Studies at GCSE.
We welcome applicants who like to collaborate and share good practice and are willing to try something new.

About Archbishop Sentamu Academy
Archbishop Sentamu Academy is one of six Hope Sentamu Learning Trust secondary schools. The academy has undergone a period of transformation and rapid improvement since joining the last OFsted and has this year celebrated the most successful results on record. This is an exciting time for the academy and will be an exciting opportunity for an ambitious educational professional to join the team. This is a great career opportunity, a chance to work in a close knit community but with extensive opportunities for professional development across the Trust as a whole.
Archbishop Sentamu is an 11-18 Church of England comprehensive school which serves a mixed, but heavily deprived catchment from East Hull. The academy is over-subscribed; it has a growing population of more than 1400 students who enter the school with attainment below national averages, but with an increasing number of high attainers and gifted and talented pupils. Our commitment to every child is absolute and we strive to meet the needs of all our pupils whether they are capable of achieving ten Grade 9’s at GCSE or require the support of a full time teaching assistant or individual package of learning in order to reach their full potential.
Our distinctively Christian vision is that everyone will be able ‘to lead the best life possible’, now and in the future. It is underpinned by the words of Jesus in John 10:10 which says, “I have come that you may have life in all its fullness.” Our vision is lived out through our academy values of Respect, Community, Courage and Wisdom. This leads to an ethos where we expect each individual to be their very best by accepting personal responsibility and always striving to do better. Each member of our community is respectfully treated to have the courage to push themselves to be inspiring future citizens and have the good wisdom to ensure they seek the support they need to do this. These expectations extend far beyond learning. We expect the highest standards of behaviour, creating an environment where students feel safe, sanctions are applied fairly and positive contributions are recognised and rewarded.
