Teacher of Drama

We are looking for an innovative, creative and energetic drama teacher who is willing to immerse themselves in the school ethos and community. As a department, we teach all key stages and aim to deliver a diverse curriculum that inspires students to be critical thinkers and grow in confidence. Practically using transferable skills, we work collaboratively to support our school in delivering and maintaining a high quality of education, while using our strengths to create a safe and stimulating environment for all our students. The readiness to teach mixed ability classes at key stage three is desirable and firm subject knowledge of practitioners and theatre history is essential to teach at key stage four and five. Passion is at the heart of our practice, and it is essential that you can motivate and inspire out students.

Our curriculum is specifically designed to cyclically teach skills that challenge and inspire students to make progress. We want to enhance the enrichment of our all our students so that they reach their full potential and transition from education, into their chosen career path.

With over 1400 students, the school is academically successful and consistently oversubscribed.  Rated “Outstanding” by Ofsted in our previous two reports, the school has much to celebrate.

Ofsted says: ·   

• “Students work hard, concentrate in lessons and participate enthusiastically” 
• “Very harmonious and respectful relationships between students and between students and staff”
