Graduate Opportunity

 

Graduate Roles at Winston

We are looking for enquiries of interest from confident, imaginative and enthusiastic graduates with a degree in English, who are seeking an opportunity to be in a supportive and friendly school and are possibly considering teaching/ a career in education. 

Come and visit the school and discover what Winston can do for your career.  Contact office@wcsc.org.uk 

Starting salary for 41 weeks per year = £24,217 (actual salary)         36 Hours per week

 

Note:

Many of you will have successfully found your first job as a graduate but if you are still looking for the perfect opportunity, working at Winston trains you to play a crucial role in the day-to-day life of the school within the classroom and to gain exposure to the school environment, whilst making a real difference to the lives of young people.

 

We give our staff opportunity to motivate students and to be responsible for improving their educational experience.

 

No previous experience is required, however, previous experience working with children would be advantageous. The Winston Churchill School is made up of many enthusiastic, innovative and very knowledgeable teachers who will be able to provide guidance and support to anyone considering a career in education.

 

It is likely that there will be opportunities to work within the English Department.

This would suit a graduate and is good preparation for a career in teaching or other professions, where the skills of leadership and communication are valued.

Colourful Last Day

 The Colour Run

Supporting Woking Hospice

Mrs Kovic and Mr Fuller re-arranged the Colour Run for the last hour of the summer term.  The first date was cancelled as the result of extreme heat but today was perfect, cloudy and no rain!

It was a great way to finish what has been a great year for Winston.  The images shared below illustrate the fun that both the children and the staff had, culminating in Mr Webster being covered in gunge.

Everyone who participated also contributed to fund raising for The Woking Hospice, a charity that means so much to our community.  There are a lot of photos, I hope you can find yourself in the haze of colour.

There will be film clips in a few days.

Thank you to everyone who organised and participated in this event.  Have a great summer!
