About This Role
Haggerston School is part of Community Schools Trust. We serve a wonderfully diverse community, many of whom face challenges through no fault of their own. It is for this reason we want to level the playing field for all of our students, regardless of their background, by providing a world-class education.
We care about outcomes. We know good grades lift life chances and impact health, wealth, and even mortality. We know that teachers have the greatest impact on pupil outcomes and so we take professional development seriously, whatever our role in the school. Whether we have taught for two months, two years, or twenty years, we believe in our capacity to always improve in the classroom.
Our professional development provision is fundamental to our commitment to improve. We invest in our own and each other’s development and use principles of instructional coaching to provide feedback to each other. Our training involves deliberate practice, video models of excellent practice, and lots of fun! The desire to improve a little bit every day permeates the culture in our school.
Our approach to teaching is evidence-informed. We avoid ‘discovery learning’ methods and instead, we teach explicitly. Our teachers are experts in the classroom and lead from the front. We focus on perfecting routines for behavior, like entry into lessons and transitions between tasks, so that we can maximize time spent on learning. We have excellent behavior systems which mean teachers can focus on what we love doing most - teaching!
As well as excellent outcomes, we want our students to be well-rounded individuals who will thrive beyond school years; that’s why we deliberately teach prosocial behaviors like making eye contact when greeted, listening attentively, and showing gratitude. We know these skills will set all of our students up for life, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
When students fall behind, our teachers run interventions outside of their lessons. We provide an extra session after school for all year 11 students so their families don't have to worry about paying for a tutor. Teachers work hard here. Our students deserve nothing less, and we expect the highest standards from them because we know they are capable of achieving them.
But we invest in working smart too: we have a 3-week Christmas holiday, no retrospective book marking, no student report writing, and a 4.5-day week.
We recognize talent and impact. There are lots of opportunities for promotions within the school and Community Schools Trust. Our staff body at all levels is a true reflection of the makeup of the community we serve - we are proud of this and welcome anyone who will add value to our wonderful school community.
Safeguarding Statement
Haggerston School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Haggerston School ensures that all our recruitment and selection practices reflect this commitment.
