We are looking for a knowledgeable teacher to lead and enhance our History team. This is a fantastic opportunity for an aspirational or experienced leader who is ready for a new challenge and wanting to take the next step in their career. You will have a thorough understanding of current curricula as well as strong classroom management and the ability to bring your enthusiasm and confidence to the classroom.
We can offer you a team of committed teachers, fantastic facilities and resources across our Trust and mentoring by experienced senior leaders and serving Ofsted inspectors.
You will come to a school full of creative and intelligent students. You will find a capable and experienced team that support children’s learning and who are very proud that OFSTED rates our pastoral care as a strength of our schools. We have one non-negotiable: you must be passionate about the care, happiness and learning of the children you’ll work with. It is also vitally important that you bring a sense of humour.
We value our staff and believe in them. We offer you CPD, training and support to develop, along with a friendly and supportive team of colleagues to work with.
Wigston Academies Trust comprises Wigston Academy (11–16) and Wigston College (16–19). Both institutions were rated as “Strong Good” in their latest OFSTED inspections (May and June 2022).
