The sole ethos for the school community is ‘“if you do the small
things right, big things can happen.” Whilst we are committed to ensuring that
every student makes excellent progress, this concept stretches well beyond
academic performance. We firmly believe that every aspect of school should
equip learners to be successful in all areas of their lives, both now and for
their future and we are passionate about the personal development of the
student body. Indeed, every single decision or action taken improves the life
chances of all our learners. This is underpinned by ensuring the school is a
safe, nurturing and happy environment: put simply, The Kidsgrove Secondary
School is a great place to learn and a great place to work with a family feel
which provides a real strength of collective working and strong relationships.
The school is underpinned by a set of Core Values that underpins
the whole school achievement culture, that has rewards and celebration at its
heart.
The school has an innovative digital strategy that sees all
students and staff receive an iPad to support their learning. The Digital
Strategy is fundamental to the school’s vision of achieving digital skills for
life. The digital technology delivers to every classroom opportunity for
cutting edge assessment for learning techniques and interactive lesson
resources. This approach has reinvigorated learning and helps students to
develop independence and enquiry skills. This combined with a technology hub that
has the possibilities to bring the curriculum to life.
This ethos applies equally to the staff. We believe in empowering
our staff to be aspirational and effective leaders of learning and provide a
strong programme of CPD and induction to support those joining our vibrant
community. This CPD includes being part of a large MAT, with its own Institute
of Education (IoE) focused on the development of staff. The IoE provides access
to wide range of network hubs, subject experts and access to best practice, as
well as bespoke CPD opportunities. This is an exciting opportunity to join a
highly professional and committed team of staff whilst also playing their part
in the success and future development of our School.
