We are delighted you have shown interest in the position of HLTA.
We are looking for a person who is a strong, reflective, and resilient individual, who will integrate seamlessly into the team and be an integral part of our road to success.
Our school is at a significant point in its improvement, and we are keen to appoint a highly effective staff member who has the experience, commitment and drive to raise standards and improve provision across the school to ensure all pupils thrive and succeed.
This is an exciting and unique opportunity and will be a rewarding experience to join a welcoming school community that is building towards a successful future.
We have high aspirations and expectations for all. Our aim is to provide consistently high-quality learning and teaching experience for every pupil within a culture where staff and pupil wellbeing is paramount.
We are committed to ensuring all our pupils develop as successful individuals, from our most vulnerable to our more able and talented learners. We recognise that for pupils to achieve their potential, their learning needs must be personalised to meet their individual needs. We also recognise that learning is more than academic achievement. It should be focused on the development of the whole child, including their personal development. Ultimately, we strive to be a school where learning is valued and pupils achieve their potential in a happy and safe community where they show respect and tolerance for others reflected in our mission statement, “Strive, Believe, Achieve”.
As an inclusive school every member of our school community is valued. We expect the best from everyone, whether pupils are more able academically or talented at sports or the arts or have additional needs. We commit to ensuring the best possible learning journey for each individual, building their capacity to become skilled, life-long learners who are socially aware, healthy, and active citizens.
Staff professional development is fundamental to our improvement journey. We are committed to investing heavily in providing staff with a package of relevant and meaningful support, tailored to individual needs.
This is a great opportunity for an outstanding teacher who has the energy, drive, and a skillset to ensure the delivery of high-quality learning experiences across the school and shape a culture of excellence.
