CATERING ASSISTANT Casual
NJC Grade A
Closing Date: Wednesday 21 February 2018 at 10.00am
Interview Date: Thursday 1 March 2018
Letter from the Principal Dear Applicant
Thank you for your interest in Exmouth Community College. We have an exciting opportunity for you to join our College and work with highly motivated staff, enthusiastic students, supportive parents and knowledgeable Governing Board. We are a hardworking, dedicated and supportive learning community.
The College is committed to recruiting the very best staff for our young people and as a result I have the pleasure of working alongside a fantastic team of both teachers and support staff. Staff at the College work hard and set high standards for our students and ourselves. Consequently, the College is a stimulating place to work and the professionalism of staff here ensures that the College is constantly moving forward.
We were very pleased with our most recent set of GCSE results in terms of attainment, where 65% of students achieved a standard pass in English and Mathematics. Whilst our Progress 8 score was lower than expected, we have made changes to our curriculum model that will address this and are confident that these changes, alongside our renewed focus on the consistency of our teaching and learning will result in improved results in the years to come.
2017’s Post‐16 results were our best ever. Students and staff have achieved a fantastic 99% pass rate and an amazing 19% A*‐A grades, with 72% of all grades being A‐C. This is despite new courses making it more of a challenge for both students and staff. Most pleasingly, our value‐added measure which shows the progress of students over their time with us was significantly above the national average, leading to almost 25% of our Post‐16 students going on to Russell Group universities. I am absolutely delighted that the hard work and ability of our students has reaped such positive rewards for them.
If you are looking for a College which is completely focussed on ensuring consistently great teaching and learning, investing in your professional development, and where your passion and ideas will be welcomed enthusiastically, we would love to hear from you.
I hope that you find the information in this pack to be both interesting and informative. I would also urge you to explore our website to get a deeper understanding of why we are so proud of this dynamic College: www.exmouthcollege.devon.sch.uk
Having myself only joined Exmouth Community College in September 2017, I recognise that much time and thought goes into preparing an application which I thank you for in advance and we, in turn, will give your application serious consideration.
If you require any further information regarding the post or the application process, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Yours faithfully
Andrew Davis Principal
