What We're Looking For

Crestwood Community School is a welcoming and friendly school with two campuses serving central Eastleigh. We are seeking an enthusiastic and ambitious person to join our English Faculty as a Teacher of English. The faculty is a cohesive and collaborative team that is committed to providing a high-quality education to our students. We are looking for someone who can contribute to our already high standards, foster an inquisitive approach to English, and inspire a love of reading.

The English Faculty is a key faculty across both campuses. We have a new Achievement Leader who is a leading practitioner and has links with Winchester University. The Achievement Leader is enthusiastic, approachable, and highly supportive. They work with the faculty to promote collaborative planning, enhance teaching and learning, and drive up standards of achievement and attainment.

The faculty comprises an Achievement Leader working with three Assistant Achievement Leaders, nine main scale teachers, and an Assistant Headteacher. They are a cohesive team with a strong commitment to the highest standards of teaching and learning through a thematic, coherent, and engaging curriculum.

Our students will have seven 75-minute lessons per fortnight. At Key Stage 3, they explore a wide range of topics focusing on various themes over three years. Within each theme, students study a breadth of texts ranging from Lightning Strike, Rat, and The Giver. All Key Stage 3 students also participate in the Accelerated Reader program, regularly visit the library, and undertake 'word study' to unpick the morphology and etymology of key vocabulary. The faculty frequently takes part in author and poet workshops to further broaden students' exposure to a variety of texts. At Key Stage 4, students study Language and Literature through an interweaving curriculum, focusing on An Inspector Calls, Macbeth, poetry, and A Christmas Carol as their GCSE set texts. Students are able to experience these texts through a range of extracurricular trips and visits as well as their study in the classroom.

What We Offer Our Staff

We take staff well-being seriously and offer the following benefits:
  • Wellbeing weeks with no commitments scheduled after school
  • Free lunch every day
  • Free tea and coffee
  • Half-termly cooked breakfasts
  • Accrued inset days, taken as twilight, giving staff an additional 4 days off a year
  • One wellbeing day per year (during term-time), to be taken at their chosen time (after a qualifying period)
  • Weekly thank you bulletin
  • Birthday cards
  • Heads' discretionary leaves of absence for family events
  • Acts of random kindness
  • Access to mental health first aiders
We are proud of our Ofsted report from February 2024, which stated that Crestwood is a welcoming, friendly atmosphere. They also said that teachers and support staff, including those in the early stages of their career, are proud to work at the school. They particularly value the school leader's careful consideration of their workload and well-being so that they can focus their efforts fully on pupils' education. Many pupils, staff, and parents describe the school as a 'big family'.

We care deeply about our school, the staff, the students, and the community we serve. We are a school with a heart. We work cohesively as a school-wide team. Our fifth consecutive 'good' grading demonstrates that we are continually providing a consistent quality in all we do, against a backdrop of tougher standards and criteria to be judged against.

We have enhanced our campuses significantly over the past few years. We have refurbished nearly all areas across the school. We have had a new crescent area and roof at Shakespeare, which has enhanced the building significantly. The Cherbourg Campus is situated between the town's two post-16 providers. The site is well-maintained with specialist facilities in excellent condition throughout, including 5 new Science rooms and refurbished Sports Hall. In total, we are a school continually on the up and have a can-do-more attitude.

As a new member of staff, you will be well-supported: we have a comprehensive induction process, and you will be given an Induction Mentor and a 'professional buddy'. We hold the Investors in People Gold standard, and we see professional learning as a major strategic priority.

Further Details About the Role

Your application should comprise a completed Hampshire teaching application form, and a letter in which you should outline your experience to date, the reasons for your interest in the post, and your suitability for it. Please include a paragraph on your philosophy of English teaching and what specialisms you could bring to Crestwood Community School.

Please download further details and a Hampshire Teaching Application form from the school website located under the School Information / Vacancies tab.

Applications, with the names and addresses of two referees, should be returned to me, Krista Dawkins, Head Teacher at

We do reserve the right to close this advertisement early if we receive a high volume of suitable applications.

Commitment to Safeguarding

Crestwood Community School and Hampshire County Council are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. We will ensure that all our recruitment and selection practices reflect this commitment.
