Due to the successful promotion of our current post holder, we wish to appoint a curriculum leader for geography who has a real passion and enthusiasm for leading this aspect of the curriculum; inspiring both students and staff alike.
We offer an environment where our teachers are respected and trusted as professionals. We allow teachers autonomy in the decisions they make for the students in their classrooms, supported by a culture of teacher development and training. Collective endeavour is how we ensure the greatest experience for our students. Teachers in our school immediately become part of strong departmental teams with regular collaborative planning where subject experts have the opportunity to develop pedagogy and curriculum together. We strongly believe that autonomy and collaboration allow our staff to achieve true professional joy.
Curriculum leaders are considered a vital part of the leadership of the school and meet regularly as a group to ensure the collective endeavour in raising standards and achievement for our young people and providing the best school experience to them.
We are a truly inclusive school and for us social justice and providing all of our students with the knowledge and skills to allow them to have a voice and achieve their goals is really important; the most for those that need the most. This is echoed throughout our school with a real commitment to the wellbeing and success of our staff and students. If you think this aligns with your values, then we would love to hear from you.
Framwellgate School Durham
Framwellgate School Durham (FSD) is an 11-18 school which was granted academy status in 2011. There are approximately 1300 students on roll including 140 in the Sixth Form. Within the next two years, we envisage a roll of 1400 including 230+ in the sixth form. The school serves the population to the north of Durham city, primarily from the Newton Hall estate, but we attract students from a wide surrounding area and over 20 feeder primary schools. We are a high achieving 11-18 academy with a strong track record in both provision and outcomes. We are fully committed to the students in our care, and work to ensure that both the pastoral provision and quality of teaching is the very best.
