Teacher of Key Stage 3

Hall Green School is a very popular, heavily oversubscribed and academically successful 11-16 academy. We are a highly diverse institution, both ethnically and as a fully accessible mainstream school, attracting pupils from across the city with physical disabilities. We have wonderful pupils who fully contribute to the school’s caring ethos. Likewise, staff work hard to ensure "there is always an adult on hand whom they [pupils] feel they can talk to and who will listen to them (Ofsted 2025). As a school, we pride ourselves on being warm, inclusive and welcoming, where positive relationships are at the centre of what we do.

The school is part of the newly formed West Midlands Academy Trust (WMAT), which opened in January 2025. As one of the three founding members, the school has been integral to forming the Trust’s mission:

• Relentless focus upon delivering an excellent Quality of Education, resulting in strong progress and attainment for all groups of pupils.

• Emphasis upon personal development and wellbeing for staff and pupils.

We are seeking an enthusiastic and adaptable  Key Stage 3 Teacher to join our dedicated team. The successful candidate will be confident teaching across multiple subjects, with subject allocation flexible and tailored to the strengths of the best candidate.

We are looking for someone who can confidently teach a minimum of three subjects at Key Stage 3, although not necessarily across all year groups up to Year 9. This role would suit a teacher at any stage of their career, including Early Career Teachers or experienced practitioners seeking a varied and rewarding post. Applications are also welcomed from teachers with a primary school background who are keen to apply their skills within a secondary KS3 setting. You will deliver engaging, inclusive lessons and play a key role in supporting pupils’ academic and personal development during this crucial stage of their education.

Most importantly, we are looking for a candidate who shares the school’s approach and commitment to the success and wellbeing of its young people.

We strongly recommend you visit the school to meet us and find out more about the role. Please contact my PA, Mrs Paula Elliott, to arrange a convenient time.
