Teacher of English

Archway school is seeking to appoint an inspirational English teacher. This is an excellent opportunity, and we welcome applications from both experienced teachers and ECTs with a passion for English, a determination to drive improvements in teaching and learning and an expectation that all students will reach their potential. This is an exciting time to join our school, we are experiencing a tremendous increase in numbers, and this has put us in the wonderful position of being able to recruit new staff to join our supportive and forward-thinking team who are passionate about improving the opportunities for all students. Archway was visited by a team of Ofsted inspectors in March 2022 and the school was graded "Good" in all five categories, with an overall effectiveness grade of "Good". The inspectors recognised the significant progress that had been made in many areas since the previous inspection in 2018. The school prides itself on its inclusive attitude and green credentials. The English Department currently consists of eight motivated English teachers who work closely together to plan and co-ordinate courses. The atmosphere is supportive, developmental and progressive. The department benefits from a very experienced HOD and a knowledgeable, enthusiastic team, who have played a major role in driving progress within the department. The uptake of English and Media Studies in the Sixth Form is very good.
