Mr Alex Lewis, Headteacher, via head@lshs.org.uk

Closing date: 6th May 2024 at 09.00 am. 

Interview date: TBC.

We are also hugely proud of our staff who are relentlessly hardworking, supportive of one another and passionately committed to securing the best possible life chances for the young people we serve.

At Long Stratton, we adopt an evidence-informed approach to curriculum, assessment and teaching. We recognise that curriculum is a journey and that our work improving the curriculum is never complete. Through our ambitious, knowledge-rich approach to curriculum, we aim to select and sequence knowledge carefully so that students acquire lifelong, memorable knowledge. We adopt a 'no written marking' approach to formative assessment, believing firmly in the power of responsive teaching as the first port of call for providing students with valuable feedback on how to improve. We apply the principles of cognitive science to our approaches to teaching: we teach with memory and overload in mind; we recap content so that students cannot forget; and we encourage metacognitive thinking through planning and live modelling. This year, we have introduced instructional coaching so that every member of our teaching community gets regular feedback on their practice and is supported to get a little bit better every day. We are a community that is committed to constantly learning and improving so that we can continue to build a great school together, achieving truly excellent outcomes for our students.

This role is an exciting opportunity for you to join our team and teach Drama to KS3 and KS4 level as well as the opportunity to teach some Music to KS3. It will require huge amounts of perseverance and a constant drive for innovative excellence but will also be incredibly rewarding and will offer exciting progression for the future.

Enrich Learning Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of its pupils and expects all those working at the Trust to share this commitment.
