Data Apprentice

at  Minsthorpe Community College

DEAR APPLICANT

Thank you for your interest in Minsthorpe Community
College. We hope that the information contained within
this pack will help you decide if you have the right
qualities, skills, and experience to apply for our vacancy.
Minsthorpe Community College is a very special place.
Between us, we have more than 40 years’ experience
working here. When we became Joint Principals in
April 2019, we wanted to bring to life the vision and
values that we truly believe make this College and its
community the amazing place that it is. At Minsthorpe
Community College our core values of motivation,
commitment and care permeate through everything we
do. They are brought to life in all aspects of our College
life and not just put up on the walls as decoration. Our
vision for Minsthorpe will only ever happen when we
live through these values which we hold dear.
Minsthorpe’s core values are built on our response
to the following question. As a parent, looking for a
school, college, or university for our own children, what
is it that we actually look for in a place? Firstly, we want
a place where our children love to learn; somewhere
where they get up every morning and want to go to,
where they are motivated in all the subjects they study
and where there is a wide range of extra-curricular
activities for them to enjoy. Secondly, we want to find a
place where they will get a world-class education, where
teachers and students are committed to achieving
the very best to move them to the next phase of their
education. Finally, we want a place that will look after
our loved ones. A place where people care for each
other and put an arm around someone if they are in
need. We want to know that there is always an adult
available whenever needed and where children will
make friends that will last a lifetime.
Our vision for Minsthorpe is that every single person
has a part to play in strengthening our learning
community. Students, staff, parents, and governors
all have a crucial role to play each and every day. We
say to our students that we all have different talents
and whether you are an amazing mathematician or
can speak a foreign language, whether you are a great
footballer or a talented tennis player, whether you
love reading, are passionate about the environment
or have an incredible singing voice, everyone has a
part to play here. We are ambitious for our students
to be the best that they can be. We want them to be
motivated to come to College, committed to their
education and to care for each other.
We are seeking to appoint staff who will share
this vision and work with us to make it a reality.
At Minsthorpe, we invest in the recruitment,
development and retention of caring professionals
who are committed to constantly reviewing and
improving the quality of learning, teaching and
support. We expect that staff are motivated to work
collaboratively in setting high expectations for all
students with a relentless focus on student learning
and progress. In return, you will benefit from working
with caring colleagues who will support you in your
role and your personal and professional development.
If you would like to arrange a visit to the college, we
would be more than happy to show you around so
you can get a feel for who we are.
Email enquiries@minsthorpe.cc and we will
arrange a convenient time for you to come and visit
Minsthorpe Community College. We look forward to
hearing from you.
