St Paul’s Way Trust School is a good with outstanding features ‘through school’ with a record of accomplishment and innovation. Drawing extensively on academic research the school provides a unique curriculum experience. Our award-winning new building is situated in the heart of East London. Professor Brian Cox CBE is our Patron. 

At SPW we provide an environment where you can deliver a transformational education. To do this we have crafted an approach to teaching and learning in which:  

• Staff use whole class feedback models instead of written marking combined with just two data drops a year 
• We run a centralised behaviour system 
• Teaching staff enjoy the highest proportion of timetabled planning and preparation time in the Borough. 

Beyond this, collaboration underpins a staff development model in which every teacher benefits from fortnightly coaching, in addition to timetabled subject specific training during the school day. 

We also appreciate that delivering excellence requires flexibility. We have adapted to include online parents evening meetings and having fortnightly PPA time from home where timetabling allows. 

We are seeking to appoint an outstanding and creative Teacher of Sociology and Psychology. The post would be suitable for an ECT or an experienced teacher looking to make impact in a well-resourced and supportive Faculty. 

This is an excellent career opportunity for a colleague who is passionate about the entitlement of young people working within a supportive and collaborative faculty, you will be an outstanding classroom teacher with a passionate commitment to the progress of all students in our heavily oversubscribed school. The successful candidate will have an unwavering belief in the potential of every student. They will do what it takes to ensure that students achieve their best and will have the contagious enthusiasm for the subject which excites and motivates students. 

The culture of the Social Sciences and Business faculty aims to support new and experienced teachers to thrive and be continuously developed. We have high expectations of all students to be taught the best powerful knowledge as defined by the subject community. 

If you would like to play your part in delivering outstanding provision, whilst receiving the very best support to develop your career, then we would very much like to hear from you. You are also very welcome to visit the school and we would recommend it.
