Head of English.
Does the thought of shaping the English curriculum excite you?
Are you passionate about your subject and driven to support pupils and colleagues to reach their full potential?
Do you want to work in a Trust where 100% of colleagues answered either ‘strongly agree’ (97%) or ‘agree’ (3%) to the question ‘I am proud to be a member of staff’? With 84% responding ‘strongly agree’ and the remainder ‘agree’ to the question ‘I enjoy working at this school’ in the anonymous staff survey of Jan 2023.
Are you the ambitious and committed professional we are looking for? If so, please note our staff retention rate has remained static at 96% for three years and there is a reason for this: we offer an exceptionally rewarding place to work.
Roman Fields is an exceptionally rewarding place to work; this is partly due to the amazing progress our pupils make socially, emotionally and academically. Small group teaching allows for strong relationships to be built and for staff to experience genuine ‘work-life’ balance whilst making a difference to vulnerable pupils and their families.
Roman Fields will provide interested candidates with the opportunity to learn from experienced colleagues, so that each pupil is provided with a bespoke, holistic pathway that has challenge and support in equilibrium. Our belief is that we can support an excellent teacher with high expectations to work successfully with all pupils, hence, expertise in the classroom and the desire to learn will always be significantly more important than SEN experience.
We are therefore looking to recruit an enthusiastic, reflective and committed individual with possible aspirations for future progression within a thriving and unique organisation. You must be proactive in your approach, working closely with parents, our staff team and other agencies to find workable solutions and responses to engage pupils and support their well-being and attendance. You should also be willing to spend time with our pupils outside of lessons to build the essential relationships that shape the Trust and allow us all to flourish.
If this sounds like the role and setting for you, we'd love for you to visit; please contact Mandy Crow - 01442 256915 (ext. 203) - term time only to arrange a visit.
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share in this obligation. The successful candidate will be required to undertake an enhanced disclosure by the DBS.
Visit available any time prior to the closing date.
Applications Close: 9am on Friday 3rd May, 2024
Successful candidates will be notified from: Tuesday 7th May, 2024
Interviews: Week Commencing Monday 13th May, 2024

About Roman Fields Academy
Roman Fields is a county wide provision based near Hemel Hempstead. In 2018, Roman Fields was awarded the National Autistic Society's Excellence award their very top award, given annually to one school/college/provider only. Soon after, we had a successful Ofsted inspection, where we were graded "Outstanding" in all areas.
Roman Fields became an academy in April 2021 and will be a standalone academy within the James Marks Academy Trust, until it is joined by a second school, the purpose-built free school, the James Marks Academy, in Sept 2023.
Our small trust and the academies within it, will provide pupils, with bespoke timetables that build on their strengths and interests and thus allow them to both re-engage with, and re-discover their love of learning. We offer a provision for a wide range of abilities, including functional skills, vocational qualifications, GCSE and A Level. Please see our examination results on our website, as we are exceptionally proud of our pupils and their achievements.
Our trust is built on academic achievement and relationships, as these are the drivers that enable pupils to flourish personally, socially and emotionally too.
Our aim is to ensure our pupils leave us with clear goals and ultimately become the successful, happy, economically active adults they can be.
All pupils on roll have an EHC plan. Most of our pupils have an autism diagnosis, some have multiple diagnoses including SEMH. The vast majority of our pupils are in KS4 (14-16) and KS5 (16-18) we have a core offer of Maths, English, Science and ICT or Business. The rest of an individual pupil's timetable will be designed around their interests. We are also able to offer Humanities, Art and Music up to GCSE and beyond.
If you are a passionate, committed professional who recognises how much progress pupils can make when support and challenge are in equilibrium, and relationships are strong, we would welcome your application.
