We are looking for an enthusiastic teacher of English to join our supportive and high-performing team to provide cover for maternity leave on a 0.8 basis (Mon-Thurs). You will work in an excellent department that will value your ideas and creativity and with students who are positive and well-motivated.
The Elton High School is a significantly oversubscribed school with a tradition of excellence. We have a history of high achievement with results regularly placing us as amongst the highest performing schools in Bury LA and amongst the top proportion of schools in the country. The successful applicant will be part of a fantastic departmental team, wholly supportive and collaborative, who generate outstanding teaching and learning practice.
Our most recent Ofsted inspection (February 2022) reiterated the strengths that had been confirmed in the previous report (2017) and are firmly embedded across our school. The inspection team noted that ‘pupils are proud to attend’ Elton with an established culture of ‘high aspirations for what pupils can achieve’. Our students achieve well, with the inspectors being particularly impressed with the climate for learning and behaviour of our students – their ‘positive behaviour at all times is characteristic of the respectful culture of this school [and] their positive conduct reflects leaders’ high standards’.
We have a constant focus on ensuring that all of our team feel supported to give their best and to have a work life balance. We pride ourselves on taking a proactive approach to promoting the wellbeing of everyone in our school community. Our teachers enjoy working here, so this is a rare opportunity to join our staff in a key subject area, contributing to our next steps in pushing Elton to realise its potential as one of the very best schools in the Greater Manchester area. Visits to the school are welcomed. Please contact the Head of English, Lana Ali, on alil@eltonhigh.bury.sch.uk to arrange.
The school has excellent transport links with the M60, M61, M62 and M66 Motorways plus the Metrolink with a fast and frequent service from Bury town centre.
This school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff to share this commitment. Appointment is subject to a satisfactory enhanced disclosure from the DBS.
CLOSING DATE: FRIDAY 19 TH SEPTEMBER AT 3 PM
