Chichester, West Sussex, United Kingdom Chichester Free School Full time

Teacher of Secondary English

Pay: MPS/UPS

Hours: Full Time

Deadline: Midday, Monday 20th May 2024

Start Date: 1st September 2024

We are seeking an exceptional Teacher of English with the energy, passion and creativity to teach in the Secondary phase of our thriving All-Through school. This is an opportunity for a full-time position, for a September 2024 start.

CFS is a vibrant, collaborative and forward thinking school for 4-16 year olds, where the personal development of our pupils is just as important as the academic curriculum. Our values of 'nurture, challenge and inspire' influence everything we do as a school, and genuinely permeate all areas of school life. If you are a strong practitioner who shares our values and ideals, we strongly encourage you to find out more about CFS via a visit to the school or through our school website

Whilst this is a Secondary post, there is something extremely unique and special about working in an All-Through environment; the successful candidate will have the opportunity to work creatively with colleagues from both phases helping to develop a cohesive and truly progressive educational experience for all learners.

CFS follows national pay scales; this role would be equally suitable for an early career teacher or more experienced teacher. The Upper Pay Scale would be considered for the right candidate and on the agreement of a whole school responsibility in addition to the role outlined below.

The School

CFS is now entering its second decade and is fully established in our state-of-the-art facilities on the Carmelite Convent Site on the Hunston Road in the south of Chichester. Our PAN is 60 in Primary, and 120 in Secondary; in almost all year groups we are oversubscribed with waiting lists. Due to demand, we have a bulge intake of Year 7 who started in September 2023, with 156 pupils currently in roll.

The School joined Sussex Learning Trust this September – a move that we personally initiated through the desire to collaborate with a like-minded family of schools. The Trust is currently small and based in Haywards Heath; CFS are well placed to launch a new Chichester Hub of the Trust, which is really exciting.

As a Free School, we are the same as any other academy; we are both held and hold ourselves to the same exacting and rigorous standards as all state-funded schools. We follow the national curriculum, and are proud of our ambitious, inclusive and varied curriculum offer. Our pupils engage with SATs and GCSE assessments. Since 2013, CFS has achieved two 'Good' Ofsted Inspections. As a school we are now striving for excellence in all areas, and to achieve above average outcomes in both phases.

CFS is open to pupils of all abilities. We do not have a catchment area, thus ensuring the School is fair and inclusive. We take part in the West Sussex County Council (WSCC) admissions process. As a school we benefit from longer holidays, specifically at October half term, Christmas and during the summer.

The English Department

Our thriving English department is made up of highly motivated English specialists. In secondary, we teach in five dedicated classrooms delivering challenging and engaging lessons fostering a love for the written and spoken word in all its forms. Students achieve highly in English and we are passionate about the subject.

The Role

The successful candidate will be expected to teach English across all abilities from Years 7 to 11. They will also be expected to take a proactive role in the extra curricular life of the school and to contribute to our focused intervention programme.

You will:


• be passionate about the value of reading fiction for pleasure and prepared to inspire and instill a love of reading


• be a well-qualified, enthusiastic practitioner of English


• be a highly-skilled and competent teacher who is energetic and totally committed to the ethos of the School


• readily establish excellent relationships with both staff and pupils


• have an up-to-date awareness of current issues relating to KS3 and KS4 teaching
• enjoy pioneering new developments in pedagogy


• embrace the use of new technologies in the classroom


• be skilled in behaviour for learning


• value creating an inspiring learning environment


• explore opportunities to further participation and achievement in your classroom
• possess drive, expertise and enthusiasm


• be well-organised and disciplined when it comes to administrative duties
• possess an optimistic and resilient style when faced with pressure


• be able to communicate well with children and young people, having an understanding of safeguarding and promoting the welfare of young people

All teachers at CFS commit to fully contributing to the ethos and life of the School in and outside the classroom.
