Job overview

Teacher of Photography, Kingston upon Hull

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 1400 students on roll, but our sixth form is growing rapidly, and by September 2014 we anticipate around 200 post-16 students on roll (with further growth expected), taking our overall numbers to around 1500.

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.

Our School of Art, Design and Engineering is an exciting team to be part of. We formed this particular curriculum area just over a year ago, in order to develop coherent learning pathways for our students in these areas. It is a successful and improving area, within which Photography plays a key role.

To continue this journey, we are looking for an experienced, talented and aspirational teacher to lead the subject as Head of Photography. The applicant should have the ability to direct Photography at GCSE and A Level as well as contributing to departmental needs and those of the academy beyond.

We actively welcome applications from NQT'S as well as from experienced colleagues.

We can offer the opportunity to:

  • be part of a successful and high achieving team - always striving to do more
  • work with passionate learners within a fabulous environment
  • access sector leading professional development

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.
