Required for September 2024

Studio West is an exciting studio school, which opened in September 2014. As part of Northern Leaders Trust, Studio West cater for around 550 students aged between 11 and 19 with student numbers increasing year on year. We are expected to reach 650 at full capacity. Rated “Good” by Ofsted, Studio West offers students an innovative and bespoke curriculum with an emphasis on employability and life skills. We have close working relationships with our business partners and our mission is to make sure that every student who leaves Studio West, does so with a university place, an apprenticeship or employment.

The ethos of Studio West is enshrined in ‘Learning that connects.’ The principle that learning must constantly connect school with the real world is at the very core of everything we do. Project-based learning runs through the veins of our curriculum and our assessment is seamless from Key Stage three to four.

We use the full range of work-related learning and career progression alongside academic prowess to prepare students for university, an apprenticeship, further training and employment - tailored to the needs of the individual.

Graded as ‘Good’ by Ofsted in early 2019, we know the key to our success is having a strong team committed to the ethos of the school with the skills, dedication and passion to motivate and instill high expectations in every student to achieve their potential.

We are seeking applications from outstanding practitioners to join our leadership team who will lead by example, demonstrate best practice in all aspects of Teaching and Learning, Assessment and Behaviour for Learning.

We are seeking candidates with a thorough understanding of the local and national issues surrounding the provision of secondary education and who can combine interpersonal, negotiation and influencing skills with professional credibility to positively engage all school stakeholders.

We are seeking candidates with a relentless drive and absolute commitment to our core aim of ensuring that all students within our school achieve their potential, whatever their barriers, background, social status, gift or need.

If you feel you have the experience, skills and attributes to succeed as part of our team, we want to hear from you.
