Job overview
A unique career opportunity to join the support team of an innovative, supportive and growing school community.
If you are thinking of becoming a teacher or looking to gain classroom-based experience before starting Teacher Training, then this post offers an excellent opportunity.
We are looking for enthusiastic and highly motivated individuals to join our team-orientated school in September 2024. The recent Ofsted report graded the school as ‘Good’ in all categories and found that ‘The core values of this school… ‘respect, resilience and responsibility’… shine through the day-to-day work of this positive and happy community.
The vacancy is on a part-time, term time only basis (35 hours per week).
The role of the Cover Supervisor is essential to provide assistance to the teaching departments by delivering lessons already prepared by the teacher. Cover Supervisors are not required to plan, prepare or mark student work and the main day to day duties involve:
- Supervising pupils, ensuring they are engaged in the classwork.
- Helping pupils to become more independent in their learning and assisting with tasks when needed.
- Creating a safe and positive classroom environment.
- Promoting good behaviour in line with the school behaviour policy.
- Providing TA support when not being used as cover.
We want to hear from you if you have an interest in teaching or have had previous experience as a Teaching Assistant, volunteer or youth leader with secondary aged children. The successful applicant will be a dynamic and enthusiastic individual who is able to make the significant contribution required to secure the very best outcomes for all students at The Bicester School. As part of our Induction Programme, full training will be given on our classroom procedures and protocols.
This is a responsible and rewarding role and can be a great stepping stone into a teaching career.
At The Bicester School we pride ourselves on having successfully created an ethos that is nurturing, but challenging, and fully inclusive to all staff and students. We are fortunate to be located in a rural part of North Oxfordshire with excellent transport links.
To apply for this position please complete the application form listed under the vacancy heading.

Closing Date: 12pm, Friday 6 September 2024 (we reserve the right to close the advert early so please reply as soon as possible).
Interviews: To be confirmed.
Due to this post having access to children and/or vulnerable adults, candidates will be required to undertake a Disclosure and Barring Service check. The possession of a criminal record will not necessarily prevent an applicant from obtaining this post, as all cases are judged individually according to the nature of the role and information provided.
The Bicester School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
We undertake social media checks on all shortlisted candidates in accordance with DFE statutory guidance ‘Keeping Children Safe in Education’.

About The Bicester School
We are an 11-18 School, graded as Good in all categories by Ofsted in 2014 and again in June 2018 with rising GCSE results and an increasingly academic curriculum offer. On the 1st August 2015, we became an Academy, joining the Activate Learning Group, a well-respected provider of specialist UTC and 6th form education in the Oxfordshire region. We have very good teaching facilities, an excellent programme of CPD and are able to offer candidates the opportunity to teach across the 11-18 age range in a disciplined, orderly and supportive environment.
The Bicester School is a Partner school in the Oxfordshire Teaching Schools Alliance (OTSA). Teaching Schools are part of the government’s drive to give schools more freedom and to enable headteachers to take increasing responsibility for managing the education system. The Oxfordshire Teaching Schools Alliance is a partnership of Oxfordshire schools, Oxfordshire County Council, The University of Oxford, The University of Reading, Oxford Brookes University and other significant educational organisations. Our vision is that by bringing together the strengths of all OTSA partners we have a unique opportunity to develop a sustainable culture of aspiration, collaboration and excellence leading to a world class education for all young people in Oxfordshire. The Oxfordshire Teaching Schools Alliance is working in the following key areas; Initial Teacher Training, Research and Development, School to School Support, CPD and Leadership Development, Succession Planning and Talent Management, Special Educational Needs and Disability, NQT Induction and Professional Learning Networks. Strategic Partner schools take responsibility for delivery of a specific area of work within at least one key area in which they have particular expertise, while Partner schools contribute to, or participate in, at least one of these areas. At The Bicester School we use OTSA for our NQT training and SCITT trainees.
We are also a partner school with the Buckinghamshire Partnership who also run SCITT programmes. Please see our Letter to Applicants below for further information on both providors.
