Job overview
English is a key strength at Ash Green School. We are exceedingly proud of our results at GCSE - in 2014 - 94% of students gained a grade C - and x 3 LOP x 4LOP.
These exceptional results come through an excellent team of dedicated teachers and support staff. Students achieved way above what they were expected to.
Going forward we do not intend to rest on our laurels - but are embarking on change. Time given to English has been significantly increased and we are looking to revamp KS3 to include drama and provide over our 2 year KS3 a more exciting and stimulating course. At GSCE we are reviewing what we do and how we deliver both Literature and Language for all students.
A-levels is in its infancy with our new sixth form but we have added this year a Language/ Literature course in addition to pure Literature. Take up and results are excellent.
The English team is extremely professional with a range of skills and ideas. Students enjoy their lessons as the teaching is always good or better. The faculty consists of dedicated drama teachers and also two teachers within MFL.
Within the English team there are a range of responsibilities with KS3/KS4/KS5 Co-ordinators.
Following the promotion of the previous post-holder we are now looking to find the right person to lead this faculty. You will need to have the skills to continue to build the team, ideas as to where to take English, high expectations and the ability to hold the various post-holders in the area to account.
We offer a great opportunity for you to develop your career in a dynamic and forward thinking school where student behaviour is excellent and levels of attainment have beaten all external targets.
We are looking to a future of significantly above average attainment for our students and outstanding levels of achievement. Successful candidates should look forward to a challenging but productive context within which to work where there is every opportunity to flourish and to lay excellent foundations for career progression.
Please log onto our website www.ashgreenacademy.org.uk or come and visit our school to see for yourself the potential that exists. Mr. Peter KIngham, Principal will be available for candidates to discuss posts on an informal basis over the telephone.
Closing date: Friday 13th March 2015
Ash Green School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. The successful application will be required to apply for an enhanced DBS disclosure.

As a comprehensive school, we value all members of our community as individual people with differing needs and abilities. We work to provide a stimulating and caring environment, in which everybody can do their best.
Our status as a Creative Education Academy plays a very significant part in our day-to-day experiences. Creativity lies at the heart of all that we do.
We are a forward looking, outward facing school and we are not afraid to innovate in order to achieve our main aim - for all our students to be the best they can be. We are establishing a strong foundation for delivering excellence and welcome applications from individuals willing to roll their sleeves up and join in. Expectations are set very high but the rewards are great.
The journey to outstanding
The school provides a well equipped learning environment.
There is a collaborative, positive and purposeful atmosphere amongst the team of staff at the school. All Staff expect each other to be the best that they can be. Our internal CPD programme is of a very high standard and meets a range of needs from newly qualified staff to established Curriculum leaders seeking whole school responsibility.
Ash Green has also embarked on a significant curriculum journey with a new Key Stage Four design that will deliver increasingly flexible routes for student learning. Our KS3 course is for two years, allowing 3 years fir KS4 courses.
We successfully fought for and opened a Sixth Form in September 2012. It has delivered excellent initial results. The students have already begun to demonstrate a visible ‘halo’ effect around the school. Their curriculum contains a careful blend of academic and vocational courses that builds upon their KS4 experience. We aim to develop and build this in the future.
Student Learning
We believe in offering a broad-based education at Key Stage 3. At Key Stage 4, students begin to specialise as they to prepare for education and training post-16. We are also preparing students for lifelong learning in an increasingly changing world with many exciting opportunities and our curriculum is designed with this in mind. Every student has different abilities, aptitudes and interests and we work hard to ensure that each experience is relevant, engaging and successful in terms of public examination results and initiative, independence and imagination.
Learning Support
We believe that students achieve their best when they are confident and secure, where there is mutual respect and trust and where help and support is always at hand. We are very proud of the quality of relationships and close partnerships which exist between home and school. Our students mature in a caring, supportive and well-ordered learning environment. Traditional values of hard work, respect for each other and high personal standards of dress and behaviour are encouraged at all times.
