Salary negotiable for the right candidate

The governors seek to appoint a well-qualified, driven and ambitious teacher to work across our full school curriculum. The ability to teach humanities and STEM would be advantageous. The successful candidate’s timetable would be specific to KS3. This would be an ideal opportunity for an existing teacher of any discipline to work at a school where they would both enjoy and develop their teaching practice. If you are currently looking to move to a school where you would be both challenged and supported, enjoying what you do on a daily basis, this is the role for you.

Woodham Academy has undergone a transformation in recent years. We moved into our brand new building in September 2024. Behaviour is excellent, with positive attitudes demonstrated by staff and students. Our results are well above national averages, we achieve positive progress 8 scores and are ranked highly in County Durham league tables. We are regularly oversubscribed, demonstrating the journey we have been on. Staff wellbeing and development are at the heart of everything that we do. The students at Woodham deserve the highest quality of teaching and pastoral care; the successful candidate will be able to deliver both. We constantly strive to get better at everything that we do, but this is achieved in a warm and friendly environment.

“Working at Woodham Academy has enabled me to be the practitioner I’ve always wanted to be. The excellent behaviour of the students, coupled with a supportive and progressive senior leadership team means that staff morale is exceptionally high. At Woodham you really feel that your personal career ambitions are valued, and there are copious CPD opportunities and pathways for progression.”  (staff member March 2023)
