Teacher of English

We are seeking to appoint a teacher who has a passion for English, has the ability to drive students to great success, and the willingness to contribute to the wider life of the school. The successful candidate will have proven subject knowledge and the ability to inspire our students.

This is a wonderful opportunity for either experienced or newly qualified, to join our English Department. The successful applicant will join a thriving and dynamic department, enjoy working with our students, and be part of collaborative teams.

The role focuses on developing key skills across Key Stage Three and engages with a diverse range of texts and text types from a variety of time periods and perspectives. A structured Literacy programme runs parallel to these lessons to ensure that all students are equipped with high level Literacy skills that they can use across the school and beyond. At Key Stage Four, English Language and English Literature are taught as a blended experience to ensure students grasp the connected nature of the knowledge and skills that they develop: this has led to consistent outcomes. Both English Language and English Literature are offered at A Level with many students choosing this option to facilitate their future paths.

Kingsthorpe College is an oversubscribed 11-18 Academy with approximately 1400 students on roll. We were graded by Ofsted Good in all areas in December 2019. In September 2021, we joined Orbis Education Trust, and this has unlocked further possibilities for colleagues to develop, progress, and make significant contribution to inspiring the students within our schools. We therefore believe it is an exciting time to join #TeamKC and be part of a community which is resolute in its drive to help our students leave with the confidence and skills for their future.
