You will be required to work some evenings and Saturdays at various points of the year e.g. during October when we take part in the national Family Learning Festival. Close team work with the Maths and ICT curriculum team will be critical to the post, as well as working within community learning to embed literacy skills across a wide range of subjects.

Knowledge of Ofsted, SAR, moderation, standardisation and RARPA would be a distinct advantage.
