What skills and experience we're looking for

The role

We are seeking to appoint a passionate, dedicated and forward-thinking Curriculum Director for Science.

The Academy is looking for someone who:

• Can demonstrate the skills and determination to be an outstanding practitioner;
• Have experience and leadership skills to inspire staff in their respective curriculum area;
• Have enthusiasm, energy, and vision;
• Are passionate about their subject;
• Demonstrate innovative ideas for teaching and learning, and management skills;
• Have a commitment to help young people succeed;
• Have experience of teaching KS3 and KS4; ideally having experience as an examiner in their field or team leader;
• Can demonstrate their willingness to be a team player, and work with an Academy that will support them fully;

• A desire to contribute to the overall success of the ‘Langley Way’.

What the school offers its staff

Q3 Academy Langley opened its doors in September 2016, becoming the first brand-new secondary education provider in Sandwell in a decade. We are looking to add to our fantastic team of dedicated, hard-working colleagues, who contribute to a wonderful culture of work.

Our curriculum model is focused primarily on the EBacc subjects, forming our Core. Furthermore over 80% of our cohorts follow this metric at KS4 meaning we over-staff in these vitally important subject areas. Additionally, we have a project-based, cross-curricular provision (Horizon, Innov8 and Cloud 9) that develops student learning both academically and holistically. Because of this innovative model, there is a minimal strain in terms of lesson planning, leaving time to hone learning and the art of teaching.

In May 2019, we received glowing feedback from our first Ofsted inspection. As well as highlighting our outstanding behaviour, pastoral and leadership systems, the lead inspector expressed that Q3 Academy Langley was ‘not a normal school.’ Our outward-facing approach has led us to be at the forefront of educational innovation – our focus on being ‘warm but strict’, and putting knowledge at the heart of our curriculum has led Schools Week to dub us ‘the Michaela of the Midlands’.

Additionally, our attendance and persistent absence figures have been amongst the very best in the entire country – this is particularly impressive when considering the socio-economic context of the Academy (IDACI ‘Deprived’) and the broad cultural mix of our cohort.

At Q3 Academy Langley, we have the absolute highest expectations of behaviour and politeness from our students, and have several procedures that support and reinforce these ideals. We expect the successful candidate to comply with such procedures, understanding that when an Academy rows together, students can learn in a safe and consistent environment. In July 2018, we were delighted to have been one of the first schools nationally to have been awarded the prestigious Schools of Character award, reflecting our commitment to developing young people beyond the classroom.
