The Governing Body wish to appoint an English Teacher to work at Ty Gwyn Education Centre to complement our existing team. A post has arisen for a dynamic, flexible and enthusiastic teacher of secondary English, based at Ty Gwyn Education Centre.
Ty Gwyn Education Centre is a secondary age Pupil Referral Unit (PRU) located in a newly refurbished building in the Aberdare area, serving the whole of RCT and learners from age 11 to 16 years. Ty Gwyn Education Centre offers specialist provision for up to 64 learners with behavioural, emotional and social needs that cannot be met in their mainstream school. Learners are a mixture of full and part-time (KS3 only) and access a broad and balanced curriculum of core subjects (English, Maths and Science) and a range of vocational and foundation subjects. There is a growing emphasis on developing learner wellbeing and mental health.
As the main English teacher at Ty Gwyn, you will be responsible for planning, resourcing and delivering personalised learning in this important core subject to KS3 and 4. You will be leading the development of learners’ skills in speaking and listening as we are working to become an accredited Communication Friendly School, writing and reading, as well as preparing learners for the GCSE examination series. You will also have responsibility for a form group and their welfare and wellbeing and play a full part in the life of the PRU.
