Teacher of English

As a core subject, all students follow English up to and including GCSE level. Student performance is improving and is broadly in line with expectations. However, there is the desire to improve further on this, particularly at GCSE level. The English team consists of ten very capable and hard-working specialist teachers who have a broad range of experiences.

The department is situated over two floors in a designated area of the school. Each classroom is fully equipped with the interactive technology, including classroom visualisers; interactive whiteboards and all teaching staff are issued with a laptop computer. We believe the role would suit an NQT eager to develop in their first position or a highly effective practitioner searching for a new school context.

We are looking for a suitably experienced and talented individual to join us as a Teacher of English.

Over the last six months, there has been a significant number of changes at the school which has supported rapid improvements in standards. This is an exciting opportunity to join a forward-thinking school.
