This could not be a more exciting time to lead within the St Mark's family. Following our full graded Ofsted inspection in May 2024, St Mark’s CoE Academy achieved an Outstanding judgment in all areas of the framework. During the inspection, “pupils said the school’s values of Love, Hope and Trust are ‘not just words’ but are demonstrated by all members of the community.” Inspectors also reported that “working relationships between staff and pupils are warm, caring and respectful. This means that pupils behave exceptionally well and are very happy and safe (May 2024).”
The EAL department at St Mark’s Academy is vibrant and flourishing. We are looking for a passionate and dedicated EAL HLTA to join our wonderful team, who, ideally, has experience working with EAL students and understands how to motivate and support pupils to reach their potential. We are a very supportive department, who work hard to enable our colleagues to progress further in their careers. The role requires planning, teaching and marking of small group intervention classes.
Teaching and learning here is exceptional and supported by an award winning CPD programme, which you will benefit from and contribute to. Staff use cutting edge research into cognitive science to teach responsively and coach each other weekly through our instructional coaching model.
The impeccable behaviour and attitudes toward learning of our students has also recently been recognised by the Specialist School’s and Academies Trust with the presentation of an award in recognition of our transformational climate for learning. Our students are intelligent, well-mannered and highly-motivated.
