Are you a creative teacher, with a nurturing approach and a commitment to achieving strong outcomes for all pupils?
At Elsley we value high-quality learning and achievement, alongside an ethos of sharing and respecting.
If you would like to join an enthusiastic committed team within a collaborative and supportive atmosphere, then we would be pleased to hear from you.
Elsley is a diverse and happy community with a wide range of experiences and cultures. Staff work closely together to share good practice, and there are opportunities for creativity within the curriculum. We are focused on making a positive impact on outcomes, with children at the heart of everything we do.
We have high expectations for pupil progress and outcomes, combined with creativity within our curriculum offer. Some of our more distinctive initiatives include an on-site farm and a whole-school residential programme. This begins with our youngest children taking part in a night-time walk and campfire, develops through on-site camping under canvas and culminates in longer residential trips away from school for our oldest pupils, building on earlier experiences.
Our pupils face many challenges, including high levels of deprivation and associated difficulties. Significant numbers of pupils arrive mid-year often with little or no English. The school has one of the highest mobility rates locally, and our systems and staff training reflect these challenges as we work collectively to ensure all pupils can succeed.
Alongside classroom teacher posts, the school is offering TLR2 middle leadership opportunities as part of our ongoing commitment to developing leadership.
Middle leaders at Elsley play a key role in improving teaching, supporting colleagues and contributing to whole-school development. These are class-based roles with dedicated leadership time.
For the TLR2 opportunities this year, we are looking for the following areas:
Character Development TLR2
Supporting the development of the school’s approach to character development and personal growth, ensuring pupils are well prepared for life in the modern world, in line with the school’s ethos and values.
Pupil Groups – EAL and Vulnerable Pupils TLR2
Developing the school’s work in understanding and supporting key pupil groups, including pupils with English as an additional language and those facing barriers to learning, so that all pupils are able to succeed.
Expectations of TLR holders
Applicants for TLR roles should be able to demonstrate evidence of impact beyond their own classroom, such as contributing to curriculum development, supporting colleagues or leading aspects of school improvement.
Teachers on the Upper Pay Range are expected to make a substantial and sustained contribution to the wider life of the school. This expectation applies in addition to any TLR responsibilities, and applicants should indicate how they meet and will continue to meet this requirement.
