Lead Practitioner in Real World Learning
About This Role
This is a unique opportunity to become a Lead Practitioner in Real World Learning at Ladybridge High School. We are looking for an enthusiastic and effective teacher of Computing, Creative iMedia or Enterprise who is also interested in connecting learning to the real world and developing their leadership skills at a whole school level. We want to further increase the amount of Real World Learning happening at Ladybridge and developing our learners' agency and enterprise skills is part of this. The successful candidate will work with other departments to build opportunities for Real World Learning and Project Based Learning into their curriculum.
As a small, tight-knit Computing and Enterprise team, we believe in the power of collaboration. We operate with a “team-first” mentality, sharing ideas and workload to ensure our learners receive an outstanding education.
You won’t be starting from scratch; our curriculum is fully embedded and meticulously resourced, supported by robust systems that streamline your daily life in the classroom. However, we also pride ourselves on a curriculum that is rich and forward-thinking. In addition to covering the Key Stage 3 curriculum, we engage in ‘Trivium’ projects where our learners solve real-world problems and explore challenges that push them to think outside thebox.
Our students don’t just learn theory; they apply it through ambitious, creative projects, such as:
- Using Sonic Pi to compose original musical scores for video games
- Designing and building automated plant-watering robots for our school polytunnel
- Developing and creating a kiosk system for a local zoo
