Job description

We are seeking an inspirational Food and Nutrition teacher who has the ability to teach and manage Food up to GCSE. Most importantly we are looking for someone who is keen to develop as a teacher. They will be able to share their enjoyment with students by employing a range of teaching strategies as an outstanding classroom practitioner – strategies which provide for challenge, motivation and high student expectations. They must be able and confident to teach, engage and enthuse students of all aptitudes in this high-achieving grammar school, including the most able. They should be appropriately qualified to meet health and safety requirements to operate in a well-equipped Food room. They will be willing to get involved with extra-curricular activities to do with enriching the students’ experience of Food and Nutrition more generally.

Judged by Ofsted as Outstanding, Stratford Girls' Grammar School is an extraordinary place to teach in, with high academic standards, a genuine community spirit and a huge level of enthusiasm shown by our students. They are bright, stimulating and keen to learn, and results are outstanding at all levels.

Situated in a pleasant village environment just outside of Stratford-upon-Avon, the school is in a convenient location being only 10 minutes from Junction 15 of the M40 and less than an hour from both Birmingham and Coventry.

As an educational establishment, SGGS embraces all of the finest aspects of academic excellence, and opportunities to ‘make a difference’ to the experience of the students are encouraged.

We are looking for someone to join our highly committed staff team to start in September 2024. They will have:

• a genuine love of teaching
• the ability to inspire high achievement and to challenge our students
• a commitment to raising attainment for all students
• presence, dynamism and a good sense of humour
• the ability to guide students’ academic and personal development as a tutor.

We can offer you:

• a friendly, supportive and inclusive ethos
• students who are willing to learn
• an excellent professional development programme with a comprehensive induction programme for all, including ECTs
• a great chance to make a difference to young people's lives.
• friendly, supportive, highly professional colleagues committed to the provision of high-quality education.

This is a part-time post (approximately 0.9fte) and arises due to the retirement of the current part-time Head of Food and the resignation of the other part-time teacher due to family commitments. There is the potential for this to rise to a full-time role going forward.

We welcome applications from newly qualified as well as more experienced teachers.

This school is committed to safeguarding, equality of opportunity, and promoting the welfare of children and young people. An enhanced DBS check will be required.
