As a large academy Trust of over 40 schools we work within learning communities with Outwood Academy Kirkby being a part of our Nottinghamshire and Sheffield community. The message below from our community executive, Carolyn Blundell, provides further information around our vision and ways of working that the successful applicant would be a key part of. As the community executive principal, I'm excited to share why joining our team offers a unique and rewarding experience that goes beyond working in a single school - if you choose to become a part of the team you will influence the lives of over 6,000 young people; shaping their futures by raising standards and transforming lives. Imagine being part of a supportive network of four Outwood academies across Nottinghamshire and Sheffield, where collaboration and innovation are at the heart of everything we do. This is what it means to be part of our Outwood community, and it's something I'm passionate about fostering in my role. Across the learning community we host joint senior team meetings, schedule regular learning walks in different schools for colleagues (at all levels), work with local businesses to secure student opportunities and enrichments and are constantly developing mechanisms for working with parents. We have fostered a culture of sharing the very best practice across the community and are committed to providing world class professional development for teaching and support staff. With us, you will have the opportunity to:

• Connect and collaborate with colleagues across multiple schools: Share best practices, participate in joint projects, and learn from a diverse range of experienced professionals.
• Develop your skills and expertise: Benefit from a wide range of professional development opportunities and contribute to a dynamic learning community.
• Make a bigger impact: Your contributions will extend beyond your own classroom, and school, influencing and supporting colleagues and students across the community.
• Be part of something bigger: Experience the strength and support of a close-knit community within the larger Outwood family.
I work closely with each academy in our community to facilitate this collaboration, ensuring that we are sharing our strengths, learning from each other, and constantly striving for improvement. This creates a truly unique and supportive environment where everyone can thrive. We also look to extend and enrich the lives of our students ensuring they too benefit from being part of a wider 'community' than the one in which they live. About the Humanities Department The humanities department at Outwood Academy Kirkby is an inclusive department where staff work together to develop an ambitious curriculum for our students. The team collaborates with colleagues and students to help our students succeed and develop a love for the subject. The department prides itself on building positive relationships with our students to work with them to achieve amazing things. Our department constantly strives to improve and we would love you to be a part of this journey with us. The department currently consists of 5 staff with 2 historians and 3 geographers. The History curriculum consists of 1 hour in Year 7 and 2 hours each in Years 8 and 9. This allows us to teach a diverse curriculum which covers a range of topics. We are especially excited to further develop the links our units have to the local area so that our students can relate their experiences to the areas we cover. History is a popular pathway choice at GCSE with a large cohort making the choice to study this further. The history journey takes students through time so they can explore key events which have shaped modern life. Our geography curriculum consists of 2 hours in Year 7, 1 hour in Year 8 and 2 hours Year 9. The subject content is shaped so that students can develop their knowledge of key issues that are facing the world today. Students travel across the globe to focus on places that feature on the national curriculum but also those that do not, to further enrich student's knowledge and experience of the world. Students take part in interactive activities to discover places at a local, national and international level. We are excited by the further development of this curriculum and the scope for students to conduct a range of fieldwork in order to offer them further opportunities.
