Job overview
At Lyng Hall, we have developed a national and international reputation for our pioneering work to raise standards and ensure that all students, especially the most vulnerable, are able to achieve their full potential. Lyng Hall was the first school to achieve the Achievement for All Quality Mark and Lead School status.
Students flourish in the environment that we have created. We work very closely with parents and seek to resolve all barriers to achievement, whatever and wherever they are. Class sizes are kept small. Because of this, our students are making exceptional progress. This work has featured in The Guardian, The Times, the TES and on Channel 4.
We were graded as a ‘Good’ school by OFSTED in February 2012; ’Lyng Hall is a good school, with a good Sixth Form’. Inspectors also recently commented that ‘Students’ behaviour and attitudes are good. They feel valued by staff…Students clearly enjoy coming to school.’ (July 2014)
Due to the increasing popularity in Humanities subjects taken by students at GCSE, as well as an overall increase in pupil numbers, we are now seeking to appoint a Teacher of Humanities – specialising in either Geography or History for September 2015.
If you are a person with vision, who knows how to make learning engaging and are passionate about ensuring all children achieve, we look forward to hearing from you.
This post offers a great opportunity to deliver a broad an exciting curriculum and to develop as a professional as part of a caring, supportive and extremely successful Humanities team. We welcome applications from both NQTs and experienced practitioners.
We would be delighted to show you around our school as we are very proud of our students and our happy, well-resourced school environment.
