Media Studies is a dynamic and contemporary subject that fosters creativity, critical thinking, research, and communication skills through the exploration of diverse media forms and perspectives. Our department delivers a broad and ambitious curriculum, beginning in Year 9 with a focus on theoretical foundations, before progressing to the application of knowledge through close study products at GCSE in Year 10. At Key Stage 5, we offer a Level 3 BTEC qualification and benefit from strong industry links, including partnerships with Pinewood Studios. Our recent GCSE outcomes reflect strong student progress.
We are a highly supportive and collaborative school committed to staff development and professional growth. The Media department consists of a full-time Curriculum Leader, one senior leader and a part-time teacher, working closely together to promote both effective practice and staff wellbeing. We are seeking an ambitious, committed, and dynamic professional to become the new Curriculum Lead, someone with a passion for Media Studies, the ability to engage and inspire young people, and a proven impact on student learning. The successful candidate will demonstrate enthusiasm for education, excellent interpersonal skills, resilience, strong classroom practice, and secure subject knowledge, including experience of delivering GCSE Media Studies.
We deliver an engaging and relevant qualification that inspires learning for all. The course is underpinned by a clear and well-structured specification, providing clarity and confidence in delivery. Recognising the subject’s strong appeal, the curriculum enables students to explore contemporary issues through creative and practical engagement with a range of media forms.
Visiting the school prior to submission of an application is warmly encouraged.
Our commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of our children will be reflected throughout the recruitment process and the successful applicant will be subject to an enhanced DBS check and an online screening check.
