Full Time, Permanent
MPS/UPS
To start from 1st September 2024 we are looking for an exceptional Lead Teacher of Business and Economics who will inspire and motivate students in this high achieving state-funded day and boarding school for boys in the lower school and large mixed sixth Form. A Teaching and Learning responsibility may be available for the right candidate.
We are looking for candidates with energy and enthusiasm, high expectations and standards, and who work well in a team. In addition, candidates will create a buzz and excitement both within and beyond the confines of the classroom. The successful candidate will have to demonstrate an ability to deliver exemplary classroom practice and outstanding academic results.
Business and Economics are subjects predominantly taught at KS5 and therefore sit within the Sixth Form Faculty alongside Law, Psychology and the EPQ and are line managed by the Head of Sixth Form. It is a vibrant faculty with a strong track record. All Economics teaching is currently at KS5 and the majority of the Business teaching will be at KS5. We currently have two groups in both subjects in Year 12 and Year 13 and we are delivering the AQA syllabus in both subjects. Over recent academic performance has been strong, particularly in Economics, and both subjects are popular options choices for our Sixth Form students. In addition we recently introduced the NCFE L1/2 Technical Award in Business and Enterprise in Year 10, so experience in delivering a similar course and/or teaching experience at KS4 would be advantageous.
The School has a vibrant extra-curricular life, which includes sport, music, drama, outdoor activities, debating and public speaking. A willingness to contribute will be a clear advantage.
