There is the opportunity of a lifetime to teach at one of our extraordinary schools, Carcroft School. We need someone to teach as part of our highly regarded expeditionary learning curriculum. This is a fantastic opportunity for a Primary specialist to develop activism, leadership and equity in our students by creating beautiful products and important work that will change the world.
This role will be a teaching role in either KS1 or KS2, with an opportunity to lead an aspect of school improvement, with dedicated time out (leadership time) throughout the year to undertake this role and for the right candidate, this will also be supplemented with a TLR payment for the right candidate. We are looking for someone who has a keen interest and passion for developing teaching and learning, across any subject, ideally Reading, Writing or Maths, who is keen to develop their leadership skill set through the opportunity to lead an aspect of one of these subjects or the subject as a whole. TLR Payment would be decided based upon the expertise and experience of the candidate.
Our Design Principles
‘At XP, we build our community through…
- Activism,
- Leadership
- and Equity…
sharing our stories as we go.’
These design principles are the basis for all our work. We focus on enabling our students to create beautiful work that creates agency and has a positive impact on the world; we encourage leadership in our students by facilitating the ownership of their own learning; and we have an unabated insistence on equity to ensure that we remove any barriers that inhibit student growth and success.
Therefore, at XP we focus relentlessly on high quality work and character growth. As a result, our school culture is value driven. Therefore, we expect our children, staff and parents to be courageous, respectful, committed to craftsmanship and quality, compassionate and to always show integrity. We provide an authentically tough and rewarding education for everyone, and we believe this is best achieved through not segregating our children by any measure, such as social class or academic ability.
We believe a person is judged by their character and the quality of work they produce. Our school focuses continuously on these two crucial areas of development. Our children express who they are by personalising their work, and are given time to produce beautiful and meaningful work by following a process of multiple drafts and critique, working towards creating products which are indistinguishable from professionals. Every day, our children develop their habits of work and learning by working hard, getting smart and being kind, and reflecting on our character values of courage, respect, craftsmanship and quality, compassion and integrity.
