A rare and remarkable opportunity that will change your career.
Working as part of The GORSE Academies Trust, Elliott Hudson College will ensure that students receive an outstanding education that focuses on aspiration, high expectations and personalisation. Together these non-negotiable values will instil in young people a self-belief that enables students to access the highest standard of higher educational provision and employment.
Through this approach Elliott Hudson College will be a catalyst for social change, transforming opportunities for the young people in the communities it serves. We are determined through the establishment of this free school, to ensure that poverty and deprivation should in no way limit either the quality of a young person’s educational experience or the levels of achievement to which those students are able to rise.
We are seeking to appoint a well-qualified, enthusiastic Teacher of English to join Elliott Hudson College at the very start of its academic journey, ensuring that it becomes a truly outstanding establishment. Our standards and expectations are high and we expect our new staff to lead our continuing drive for excellence in the classroom. An ability to offer both Literature and Language at A Level would be advantageous.
This is an exciting opportunity for candidates who are keen to be at the centre of our organisational change. 2013 – 2014 was an exceptional academic year for The GORSE Academies Trust with both The Morley Academy and The Farnley Academy rated as Outstanding in all categories in their inspections; we are determined to see Elliott Hudson College achieve the same.
Elliott Hudson College will be a 16-19, co-educational academy which will open with a maximum initial cohort of 520 Year 12 students, growing eventually to a maximum cohort of 1000 Year 12 and 13 ‘A’ Level students. The Academy will be housed in newly refurbished, state-of-the-art accommodation at Phoenix House, Global Avenue, LS11 8PG, from September 2015.
