Job Description

CAPA College (Creative and Performing Arts College) is Yorkshire's newest and most exciting post-16 education institution. Since opening it's door as Wakefield's first DfE-funded Free School in September 2018 within Enhance Academy Trust, CAPA College has already established itself as one of the leading Arts education providers in the North of England; and this is your opportunity to join our award-winning team. Based in the heart of Wakefield, CAPA College delivers the highest quality training, education and pastoral guidance to support talented students, aged 16-19, who are serious about pursuing a career in the Arts. CAPA College aims to inspire, train and educate the next generation of performers, creatives, designers and technicians and attracts students from across Yorkshire and beyond. Students are enrolled on four distinct pathways: Performing Arts, Dance, Drama and Production Arts. CAPA College provides students with intensive full-time practical training alongside the rigour of academic Arts study. This combination of Outstanding Arts training and academic excellence ensures that students develop the skills, training experience, knowledge, understanding and qualifications they need to progress to the top universities, leading national and internal Arts conservatoires and professional Arts-based employment. CAPA College's professional approach and ethos continues to be maintained throughout all aspects of its provision. Alongside an outstanding curriculum and excellent teaching, students gain extensive experience performing through the UK and working alongside professional artists, companies and theatre venues. CAPA College is led by a team of extraordinary teachers, performers, creatives, designers and industry professionals. The core leadership team have an impressive 12-year legacy which includes consistent 'Outstanding' judgements from Ofsted, impeccable exam results and a regional and national reputation for excellence. This is a very exciting time as CAPA College prepares to implement the next stage of it's development. CAPA College is currently renting temporary accommodation but will move to its new, permanent home on Mulberry Way (opposite Wakefield Westgate train station) in Summer 2021. This purpose-built, multi million pound facility will enable CAPA College to expand its cohort from 105 students to 250 students per year group as well as offering more performance and learning opportunities, new course pathways, increased staffing, exceptional resources and better outreach with the local community. Entry requirements to CAPA College are that students should have 5 GCSE's at Level 4 or above (including English and Maths). However, students providing an exceptional audition who do not have English or Maths are offered a place at CAPA College on the understanding that they continue with these studies, with the intention of achieving a Level 4 GCSE at the end of their course. Classes therefore remain small with the opportunity for the teacher to provide tailored support to individual students. Following the retirement of the current postholder we are now looking to appoint a part-time teacher of mathematics to continue delivering a high standard of personalised tuition. Are you excited by the opportunity to be a part of CAPA College as it becomes a flagship for Arts Education in the North? Do you have a natural passion and enthusiasm for mathematics? Then we would love to hear from you. We are looking for candidates who can: Encourage, inspire and motivate young people.
