Job overview

CTC Kingshurst Academy is a highly popular, oversubscribed establishment. We are currently undergoing an exciting and successful transformation in learning and teaching and are actively seeking outstanding and innovative teachers to help shape our journey from good to outstanding.

The academy was recently inspected by Ofsted, who judged its overall effectiveness as 'Good' and improving. With 85% of observed lessons found to be good or better, the inspectors reported that 'teachers expect much of their students and communicate great enthusiasm for their subjects. Students have great respect for, and confidence in, their teachers and this supports students' learning well' Ofsted, February 2013.

The English faculty played a substantial role in Ofsted's judgement; the faculty, which includes a mix of experienced and newly qualified teachers, was observed by the inspection team with 100% of teaching judged good or better.

As a result of the successful development and growth of the faculty, we are now looking to employ an outstanding and ambitious classroom teacher with the ability to enthuse and inspire students.

The successful classroom teacher will have a drive to improve student engagement and progress. The candidate will also be expected to contribute to the development of the faculty learning and teaching strategies and can demonstrate a passion for teaching for understanding. NQTs are welcome to apply.

We reserve the right to close this vacancy early should we receive considerable interest. All candidates are advised to refer to the job description and person specification before making an application.

The Governing Body is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. This post will be subject to an Enhanced DBS Disclosure.
