Kingsmead is a large, oversubscribed school that, despite serving a postcode in the top 20% most deprived parts of England:
- Has an ambitious curriculum, with almost an almost exclusively GCSE KS4 and A Level KS5, aiming for 90% EBacc while also having a performing a visual arts specialism.
- A track record of above average progress scores in spite of the challenge posed by such an ambitious curriculum.
- Exceptional behaviour, with a consistent approach that combines explicit boundaries with the space to build relationships and support those children who need it.
- A thoughtfully constructed wider school experience for the children, with an ambitious combination of clubs, trips, careers guidance and wider enrichment.
This role is an additional role to the expanding department.
The Media Studies team have had remarkable success in building up the popularity and impact of their courses over the last fifteen years. It is now standard for there to be three to four GCSE classes at a time, and two classes in each Y12 cohort for A-Level Media.
Media continually positively adds to the Progress 8 and ALPS score for the school. We teach the AQA syllabus at GCSE and A-Level. We are known for building strong pupil and parents relationships and teaching our students to take risks and be critical thinkers.
