Class teacher

The Role

At Badock's Wood E-ACT Academy we know just how important it is to think big and to help break those glass ceilings faced by young people today. Together we can encourage our pupils to step out from their comfort zones, build self-esteem and broaden their horizons.

Keen to challenge young people with opportunities they may not even know exists yet? We aim to raise pupils’ aspirations so they begin to believe in themselves and understand that there is no thing holding them back, including where they happen to live or their family’s experience in education.

We believe in looking beyond textbooks and whiteboards, and are committed to developing our pupils by enabling them to challenge themselves in new ways and supporting them to maintain their emotional and physical wellbeing.

We have an exciting opportunity for a full time maternity cover teacher to join our team, with an expected start date of 01/04/2022. W are looking for someone who is organised with good communication skills, can show enthusiasm in their teaching and has a good understanding of behaviour management. As this is a maternity cover contract, we are not able to open this vacancy to Early Career Teachers and we also cannot guarantee the length of the contract at this point in time.

For a full description of the role, see the job description and job specification. We encourage you to get in touch with any questions; better still come and see us for yourself! Please contact the main school reception directly to arrange school visits.

As an academy, we strongly believe that a varied curriculum is the best way to engage and motivate all of our pupils. We do this by making links across the curriculum, creating wow opportunities and using expertise from the local community.

We want all of our pupils to develop a lifelong love of learning. We believe this is created through experiences, challenge, a desire to always get better and a journey to independence. We believe that the success of all our pupils comes from a shared vision from all members of the academy and the wider community and we aim to make links whenever we can to create a culture for learning and opportunities to thrive and grow.
