We are seeking to appoint a well-qualified and enthusiastic teacher of English who can deliver an enriching curriculum, within the English department, for September 2024. You will be joining a successful English Department that gains strong examination results throughout the key stages. We are looking for someone who believes in building strong relationships with our students and who is willing to go above and beyond to support them in being successful and helping them to realise their God-given potential. As a team, we believe strongly that English is a subject vital in developing our students' ability to empathise with others and to think critically about the world around them. We have designed a curriculum that offers a diverse range of fiction and non-fiction texts in order to enrich students' experience and equip them with the tools they need both for success at GCSE and A Level, and for future career pathways. Our department works collaboratively on SOWs and refines them each term so that we are delivering the best resources and lessons to meet the needs of all our students. Our recent work has been on building adaptive resources to meet all learners needs, as well as working on metacognitive strategies to foster student independence. You would be expected to develop, plan and deliver highly effective learning experiences to all students across every key stage and lead a transformational extracurricular offer.

With our outstanding commitment to developing new teachers, we are delighted to invite applications from both ECT's and experienced teachers.

Visits are warmly welcomed and can be arranged by email to
