Operating Environment and Context of the Role:
(The most challenging features (and reasons) of the job; any critical time constraints, the impact, influences and consequences of the work done etc.)
In 2011, Claremont Senior School was founded in the historic village of Bodiam. Starting with 40 students in 2011, the Senior School is now a well-established centre of learning with over 310 pupils today, a vibrant Sixth Form and two newly refurbished boarding houses. Having been a proprietorial school for years, in February 2018, Claremont School became a member of the International Schools Partnership (ISP) and the flagship British school in a portfolio of more than 45 schools around the world.
Our partnership with ISP has brought with it renewed investment and the opportunity to realise our ambitions to further develop our extensive grounds and already impressive facilities at both school sites. At Claremont, we facilitate creativity, academic excellence and independence within a supportive and nurturing environment. We are a caring and considerate school, where all of our students value the opportunities they have been given, forever mindful of those less fortunate than themselves.
Teaching at Claremont is focused relentlessly on providing a positive and active learning environment for students. The emphasis is on facilitating learning rather than providing a proscriptive teaching environment. This is encouraged through the school’s ‘Looking for Learning’ agenda. Teachers are encouraged to take risks and promote positive decision making amongst the student body. Subject Leads are critical in the maintenance and promotion of this culture. An effective Lead will see his/her department enjoy high levels of participation in their subject. They will be evangelical about their subject and be seeking the highest possible academic outcomes. A ‘typical’ Subject Lead would receive a 10% reduction in a full TT allocation. In most cases Subject Leads receive a RA entitlement. This is dependent on size of the department, number of staff and students and is negotiated with the Head of Senior School.
Safeguarding:
(Details of responsibilities in relation to Safeguarding regulations and any other legal entity or any other governance and compliance. Our minimum statement is stated below and should appear in all job profiles along with any further specific requirements for the role)
Claremont School complies fully with the DCSF Guidance ‘Safeguarding Children and Safer recruitment in Education’ and is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. The jobholder is expected to share this commitment and comply with all associated internal policies and procedures.
In addition the job holder will be expected to pursue professional development opportunities relating to safeguarding and keep up to date with national developments in the area.
