Want to lead an area at the heart of school life?
Do you have an expertise in teaching English at Key Stage 2?
Are you looking for the opportunity to lead across the school and work strategically with the Headteacher and Deputy Teacher?
The role:
We seek a highly successful teacher, ideally with recent Key Stage 2 experience, to lead English in Key Stage 2 along with another subject to be agreed upon. This is an exciting opportunity to work alongside our experienced Headteacher and Deputy Headteacher, and maintain our high standards as recognised at our October 2024 inspection. This identified the school’s outstanding work. Aston Tower has also been awarded the Leading Parent Partnership Award recognising our excellent work with parents.
The school:
Aston Tower is a popular two-form entry multi-cultural school that serves a community which really values and supports our work. We have friendly, responsive and enthusiastic children whose attitudes to learning were described as ‘excellent’ by Ofsted along with their outstanding behaviour. Our staff team is skilled, caring, and committed; trustees are keen to be involved and highly supportive. The school is very well-resourced. Our well-kept modern premises are set in spacious grounds which lend themselves to being further developed to promote our pupils’ learning. This term we are opening a resource base for pupils with Special Educational Needs following approval from the Department for Education (DfE).
Potential candidates are invited to discuss this opportunity and visit the school.
