The school has an excellent record of academic and pastoral achievement and we pride ourselves in creating a caring and respectful ethos where every child is important. Last summer, our A-level results placed us as the best 6th form provider in West Sussex; at GCSE our students achieved almost half a grade higher than their expected outcomes. We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and hard-working teacher who meets the criteria below:

• A well-qualified teacher of English who can inspire and engage young people (QTS is essential).

• Excellent organisational and IT skills.
• A passion for excellence and for the subject.
• Excellent interpersonal skills.
• Willingness to be a form tutor, including the delivery of PSHE.
We offer you:
• A positive and innovative learning culture supported by staff, parents and governors.
