What skills and experience we're looking for

The Management Committee of Rowhill School are seeking to appoint a talented, energetic, and forward-thinking teacher to join our passionate and committed school team. This is an exciting time for Rowhill. Our Executive Headteacher joined the leadership team in February 2024 and our staff team are working together to rapidly improve the school and provide an exceptional standard of education for young people in our care.

At Rowhill we believe that every young person should have a second chance. Providing education for young people who have been permanently excluded, have medical needs or are at risk of permanent exclusion is challenging and we are privileged to have a creative, tenacious and resilient staff team who dedicate their days to providing bespoke, flexible learning opportunities for our students.

Wellbeing for both staff and students is at the heart of what we do. We have made significant changes to the curriculum and timetable in order to support learning and progress. Every Friday consists of an enrichment programme where staff and students engage in a variety of activities, either on site or offsite to support our ethos of relational practice and forming strong relationships for students to utilise both in the classroom and out of school. Teaching staff have the option to leave early on a Friday, finishing at 2pm.

Recent parent, pupil and staff surveys have indicated the positive steps we have made and the immediate impact on both staff and students. One staff member (September 2024) commented “All the changes contributed to my approach to work. I look forward to coming to work and see what our pupils will cook in their lesson. It gives me great pleasure to see pupils and staff eating together. I enjoy my role and excited to share my ideas every week and I know that my ideas will be discussed and open to changes. 'Friday Funday' helps to create a bond with pupils and just makes this school a great place to work.” Another commented “The work environment (2024 - 2025) is wonderful and everyone is friendly and supportive.”

Our recent parent survey (Oct 2024) showed that 100% of parents said their child felt safe at school, is making progress and the school helps to support their child’s learning.

We are looking for an experienced teacher who is looking for their next challenge. You will be teaching within our vocational faculty, mainly Personal Development as well as Health and Social Care. You will need a passion for working with students who exhibit challenging behaviour as communication of their need; a proven record of successful teaching and progress for all as well as the ability to form positive relationships with staff and students; a sense of humour and the ability to be flexible in an environment where no two days are the same.

What the school offers its staff

• Teaching staff have the option to leave early on a Friday, finishing at 2pm
• Access to CPD from SSS, Hampshire Local Authority, Subject Specific CPD and an in-house CPD
• A dedicated Inclusion Team that supports teachers with pupils’ behaviour
• Contribution to the Teacher’s Pension Scheme
• A staff room with complimentary refreshments
• Employee Assistance Programme
