What skills and experience we're looking for

WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

You will be an excellent teacher of Art and have excellent communication skills with the ability to motivate staff and students. You will have the potential to move to Senior Leadership.

VISION AND CULTURE

We are passionate about excellence in education, giving students the very best start in life with a firm belief that excellent teaching transforms lives. Our core belief is that for all students to have high aspirations they must believe in themselves, be actively engaged in their learning and see the connection between what they learn today and who they want to become tomorrow. We teach a highly challenging academic curriculum for all students. We are unapologetically ambitious for every child, no matter what their background, prior attainment or needs. Everything we do at Tanfield is driven by this, so that our students can leave Tanfield with the best set of qualifications possible and as well-rounded young people, thereby helping to maximise their life chances.

This vision is outlined in our Mission Statement, 3 values and 3 drivers:

At Tanfield School we have many minds but one mission: to get students to attend the best university, or real alternative, succeed in their dream job and thrive in all aspects of their life.

Our core values of hard work, trust and fairness permeate all that we do. From the moment a student arrives at Tanfield, we ask them to live these values:

Hard work

We never give up. We remain positive so that we have the strength to persevere with even the hardest work. We do what it takes for as long as it takes.

Trust

We are honest. We do what we say we’ll do and do not make excuses. We are loyal and have the courage to do the right thing.

Fairness

We play by the rules. We are respectful, polite, kind and courteous at all times. We don’t take advantage of others and helping a member of our team is helping ourselves.

We also focus on three key drivers: Mastery, which is the drive to get better at things that matter; Autonomy, or the drive to direct our own lives; and Purpose, which is the drive to connect to a cause larger than ourselves (Dan Pink, ‘Drive‘).

We clearly communicate our mission, values and drivers throughout every day so that the whole school community knows the purpose of everything that we do.

Teaching and Learning

Our Teaching and Learning strategy is heavily influenced by Doug Lemov and his ‘Teach Like A Champion’ book and we believe passionately in relentlessly implementing any strategy that will eliminate disadvantaged student attainment gaps. We do not believe in learning styles. We believe in teaching to the top and scaffolding downwards for all students, with a highly challenging academic curriculum. Some examples of recent books that inspire us/are aligned to our vision: ‘Battle Hymn of the Tiger Teachers: The Michaela Way’ (Birbalsingh) ‘Teach Like A Champion’ (Lemov) ‘Reading Reconsidered’ (Lemov) ‘Why Students Don’t Like School?: A Cognitive Scientist Answers Questions About How the Mind Works and What It Means for the Classroom’ (Willingham) ‘Seven Myths About Education’ (Chrisodoulou) ‘Drive’ (Dan Pink).

We do not make exceptions. When we say we have high standards, we mean it. Our students walk in silence between lessons, with pencil cases (with full equipment), ready to immediately start working as soon as they enter a classroom in silence. This supports our teachers making very strong starts to lessons. We hold parents to account as well and insist that they support their children by supporting our rules. This creates a very orderly school where children are safe. It requires staff who will ‘sweat the small stuff’.

Work life balance, not burnout

We know that teaching is the most rewarding, exhilarating but exhausting profession. So we are guided by a philosophy of simplicity that aims for maximum impact on student learning with minimal overload on workload for staff. We reduce burnout by applying this effort-to-impact ratio to everything we do. For example: Units of work and lessons have been fully prepared and resourced already, meaning that you are not ‘re-inventing the wheel’ every night planning lessons and resources from scratch. Lessons will be enhanced by individuals. Teachers do not produce end of year written reports – just termly data inputs. Homework is streamlined into note taking, drilling and self-quizzing, reducing marking workload and ensuring very high homework completion. Strict discipline and robust no-nonsense behaviour systems allow staff to teach without being ground down in low level disruption. All students have full equipment in their pencil cases all of the time – you will not have the hassle of having to hand out pens, pencils etc at the start of each lesson because students don’t have their equipment with them. Staff will never be blamed for poor student behaviour because their lessons are not engaging enough – you will always be fully backed and supported - behaviour is the collective responsibility of the school, with the Headteacher ultimately accountable. Highly visible and supportive SLT visit classrooms to check that every student is meeting your expectations. We do not grade lessons/teachers with ‘high stakes’ lesson observations – we believe in a growth mindset approach, where teachers continually improve over time through continuous coaching/feedback loops.

Level 5 Leadership

As a team we also believe in aspiring to ‘Level 5’ leadership, as outlined by Jim Collins in ‘Good to Great’, the key traits of which are outlined below: Paradoxical mix of personal humility and professional will. They are ambitious first and foremost for the organisation, not themselves They set up their successors for even greater success whereas egocentric leaders often set up their successors for failure. They display a compelling modesty, are self-effacing and understated as opposed to comparison company leaders being egocentric which contributed to the demise or mediocrity of the company. Fanatically driven, infected with an incurable need to produce sustained results – they are resolved to do whatever it takes to make the organisation great, no matter how big or hard the decisions. Display a workmanlike diligence – more plough horse than show horse. They look out the window to attribute success to factors other than themselves – when things go poorly they blame themselves taking full responsibility.

OUR FUTURE AMBITIONS

We are all exceptionally proud of how far we have come since our last inspection. However, we want to, and know we can, achieve so much more, best summed up by the philosophy of Dave Brailsford, from Team Sky, who stated ‘We are always striving for improvement, for those 1% gains, in absolutely every single thing we do’. We want to be the best school in County Durham and in the top 1% of schools in the country in the next two years.
