They will work towards typically good and outstanding lessons that achieve good student progress over time. This will be actioned by taking an active role in supporting the Academy’s high expectations of student behaviour and attitudes towards learning.
Internal candidate note - In line with the STCPD guidelines, if you are a current recipient of a TLR 1 or TLR 2, you are unable to hold both a TLR 1 and TLR 2 concurrently, this role carries a TLR 2B and therefore please take this into consideration before applying for this role.
