Business Studies and Economics is a subject that matters to us, and we continue to invest in its development so that it is high profile across the school. We are an excellent Catholic school with a fantastic reputation for the very highest of standards, outstanding students who are eager to learn and exceptional staff who walk the ‘extra mile’ to ensure that every student fulfils their God-given potential. We are looking to appoint a Teacher of Business Studies and / or Economics with a passion and vision for learning and teaching across all key stages. You will be a highly effective practitioner who will make a difference by inspiring a love of learning in your students. The successful candidate will join a vibrant, forward thinking, and progressive department which is keen to build upon the many successes within the school’s impressive inspection reports from both the Diocese and Ofsted. This post would suit either an ECT or an experienced colleague wanting to further develop their career in a truly exceptional school. St Nicholas has made significant progress with the continuous development of the curriculum we deliver to our students. Our examination results, year on year, are significantly above national averages and we continue to be oversubscribed. The successful candidate will benefit from teaching in a department which offers comprehensive and robust schemes of learning, incisive planned assessments, and is fully resourced. Everyone Matters here: Our Headteacher is a National Leader in Education and we are now leading on training beyond the school, supporting other schools where the need arises. Our professional development offer is one of the best and we are proud of the successes our colleagues have made here, many being promoted within the school to leadership posts (please see the enclosed pack for further information about our offer). Furthermore, we are a school genuinely committed to your health and wellbeing and workload: we have recently launched our new Wellbeing Charter and, part of this, has resulted in the opening of a new Gym for staff and students. We have an active Staff Wellbeing Committee, which is also attended by the Headteacher and fully supported by an experienced Governing Body. We take safeguarding seriously here: we have a team of Designated Safeguarding Leads, many of whom are experienced and experts in this field. Our Executive Safeguarding Team meet weekly. We ensure that all staff access training on a regular basis and you will be expected to engage in this. So, what are you waiting for? Why not come and see us in action? Visits to our school are warmly welcomed but we do understand that it isn't always easy to leave your current school to visit another one and is not part of the application process.
