It is an exciting time at Becket Keys Church of England School (Outstanding, 2014). We are working hard to build upon the exam successes of our founding cohorts, whilst also establishing our new 6th Form into its third year. This includes building new structures in the school to manage our growing Sixth Form and its Curriculum Offer.

Due to the rapid growth of demand for our Sixth Form places the Social Sciences (namely Psychology, Sociology, Business Studies, Economics, Law and Politics) are expanding and growing. As a result of the recent promotion of a colleague here we are looking to appoint a new A Level Politics Teacher. This is an exciting opportunity to join our high performing school and benefit from Trust wide support for this subject.

The successful candidate will be responsible for all the Politics teaching in the school and so will need a strong grasp of the Politics curriculum. He/she will also need to teach another subject from the Social Sciences group or a Humanity. Please make clear on the application form which subjects are offered.

The school is well known for being a supportive and welcoming place where all staff are happy to support each other. If you are an enthusiastic candidate ready for the next step in your career, or seeking a new challenge we would like to hear from you. The Russell Education Trust offers a wealth of support and expertise to help you in this role.

The appointee will be committed to our high expectations and core Christian values. However, we welcome applications from teachers irrespective of their faith or lack of it. All we ask is that all applicants appreciate and respect the beliefs of others and have strong moral principles.

Staff will be provided with a comprehensive induction programme and laptop.
