Further details about the role

Due to the exciting growth of our specialist provisions within The GORSE Academies Trust, which has seen our number of places expand to 75 over both Rainbow Base and Horizons, we are seeking to appoint an exceptional teacher for Horizons, who has an outstanding record of achievement and is committed to the success of this Resource Provision.

We are a provision which currently caters for the needs of 22 students with complex communication needs and/or autism. We are passionate about providing the best for our pupils and supporting them to become life-long, enthusiastic learners. Our pupils benefit from a curriculum which is tailored to their individual needs, enabling all pupils to reach their full potential, both academically and socially. We are seeking to appoint an individual who can continue to build on the practice currently in place for our wonderful children on our journey to becoming an outstanding provision.

If you have the skills to teach pupils with complex needs to the highest quality and to embed a learning culture that enables children to become enthusiastic and independent learners, then this is the role for you!

About us

On 1 September 2021 John Smeaton Academy joined The GORSE Academies Trust, an organisation renowned for excellence in education. The trust has a nationally recognised track record of transforming inadequate schools and making them great again, or for the first time in their history. Consequently, this role represents an incredibly exciting opportunity for any candidate who is eager to be a part of an organisation that seeks to secure the very highest educational standard for every student. We are determined to ensure students at John Smeaton Academy are inspired to ‘Secure the Gift of Choice’ and we expect any successful candidate to be passionate and tenacious in their quest for all round academic and pastoral excellence.

A unique opportunity to be part of the rapid transformation of a school, and its wider community.

John Smeaton Academy is a school on the move, and it certainly needs to be. In 2019 its performance data placed it as the lowest performing secondary school in the city of Leeds and one of the worst performing in the country. It is also fair to say that John Smeaton Academy is a school whose performance for many years has been unconvincing and this has resulted in its community losing its confidence in the school. Horizons, our resource provision for students with complex needs, was no expectation.

The academy, including Horizons, has already improved significantly as evidenced by parent/carer and student feedback alongside the day-to-day experience of the students.

If you would like to know more about John Smeaton Academy, please visit our website at www.johnsmeatonacademy.org.uk.

For more information, or to organise a visit to the school, please email Rachael Law, Director of Specialist Provision: rachael.law@tgat.org.uk
