Wokingham, Wokingham, United Kingdom Forest Full time
Head of English

We are seeking to appoint an inspiring and well qualified Head of English to lead a very dynamic and highly successful team.

You will have the capacity to raise attainment through motivating and inspiring young people, and will help enhance our culture of high expectations and achievement across the school.

Our English department is high performing, securing GCSE and A results well above national average in both English Language and Literature.

We offer English Language, English Literature and Film Studies A level in the department.

Our first unit on Northern Lights begins as students collect their copies of the novels on their summer transition visit day, and arrive in September ready to analyse the text as new year 7.

Our reading test data informs our teaching and intervention. Our annual summer Shakespeare Festival sees all our year 7 students perform an abridged play, in the open. Families and members of the community come to watch the performances. We are currently a boy's secondary school for students aged 11-18, with a co-educational 6th Form. The Forest will be co-educational from September 2024, with our first cohort of girls starting in year 7.

Staff are allocated a laptop, have access to the school's sporting facilities as well as the lively staff social calendar.

The school has continued to invest in new technology with projects including a brand new school WiFi network, Show My Homework, GCSE Pod, Chromebooks for students to support learning and reduce staff workload.

In addition, we have invested in our all facilities across the school:

new heating system reducing our carbon footprint, revamped technology including food room, whole school repainted, new interactive whiteboards, in addition to sporting facilities; MUGA, an all-weather football dome and our new performance and conditioning centre of excellence.

Academically the school has a positive progress measure and the boys achieve above national average. Our curriculum is clearly mapped and was a strong "good" as part of our Ofsted 2021.

The Forest School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of students and young people, and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

For further information, please see our website for the Job Description and Teachers

As part of this process, you may be expected to teach a class of pupils and attend a panel interview.

The interview process will include consideration of your suitability to work with children and the interview panel will ask questions on safeguarding children/young people.

The school will complete online searches on all shortlisted candidates and reserves the right to do so on receipt of all applications.
