*** About us and the role
** We are looking for a dedicated Learning Coach to support the delivery of high-quality learning and ensure that all young people at Avanti Grange have the opportunity to succeed.

Working closely with teachers and inclusion colleagues, you will provide flexible support across the classroom, through targeted small-group interventions and individual learning where appropriate. You will play a key role in promoting inclusion, supporting pupils with a range of needs and helping them develop academically, socially and emotionally.

Building positive and trusting relationships with pupils will be an important part of the role, enabling you to understand their individual strengths, needs and barriers to learning and adapt your approach accordingly.

You will work collaboratively with colleagues and families to help create the right conditions for pupils to engage positively with their education and achieve their potential.

You will also contribute to a positive, respectful and inclusive school culture that reflects the values and ethos of the Avanti Schools Trust.
* School visits are welcomed and encouraged. Please contact the school to arrange a suitable time.
* Avanti Grange is Bishop’s Stortford’s newest secondary school, already recognised as Outstanding in all areas by Ofsted (2025). Our state-of-the-art campus serves families across Bishop’s Stortford and neighbouring villages, and is home to a vibrant, ambitious and supportive community. The school is heavily oversubscribed, reflecting its strong reputation locally and the demand to be part of our journey.

We are a co-educational community school, part of the Avanti Schools Trust, with a clear vision to inspire spiritually compassionate changemakers. Our staff are motivated by a shared purpose: to deliver exceptional teaching, foster character formation, and nurture wellbeing. As one colleague put it: “Working at Avanti Grange feels like being part of a family with a shared, values-driven mission.”We are equally committed to the growth of our staff as to the success of our students.

In 2024, we were awarded the Teacher Development Trust Gold Award for the quality and culture of our professional development – recognition held by only a small number of schools nationally. Through education-leading CPD and coaching, colleagues at Avanti Grange thrive in an environment where “better never stops.”Students benefit from a rigorous, knowledge-rich curriculum, underpinned by yoga, mindfulness, and an exceptional co-curricular programme.

Our pastoral system is a defining strength: impeccable behaviour supports high-quality learning, while wellbeing is woven into daily life through practices that allow both staff and students to flourish.

With more than 660 students on roll and growing each year towards a full secondary and sixth form, Avanti Grange offers a rare opportunity to help shape one of the most exciting schools in the region.
** What will you do?
*** Provide individual, small-group and whole-class learning support, adapting approaches to help every young person access the curriculum and achieve their potential.
* Build positive, supportive relationships with pupils, understanding their individual strengths, needs and barriers to learning, and promoting confidence, independence and positive behaviour.
* Support pupils…
