Required for September 2024
This is the ideal opportunity for a well-qualified, inspirational teacher of English to join a flourishing and lively department in its delivery of outstanding teaching and learning both through its curricular and co-curricular activities.
The post holder will be responsible for teaching Years 7-11. Experience of teaching at A level will be of benefit to stretch our most able and to provide opportunities beyond GCSE.
We cater for students from Reception to Year 11 and so our teachers in the Senior school do work with teachers of English in the Prep school to ensure a seamless transition from Prep to Senior.
The English department is dynamic; students’ academic ability and enthusiasm is stimulated by lively approaches to teaching, innovative approaches to GCSE specification content and the curriculum regularly being reviewed and updated. The department offers co-curricular opportunities through clubs that include creative writing, KS3 debating and the magazine club. We also participate annually in the ESU public speaking competition with a team of Year 10 and 11 students.

About Abbot's Hill School
Abbot’s Hill is an all through, inclusive independent day school with the Nursery, Prep and Senior Schools on the same site. We welcome boys and girls in our Nursery and girls from 3-16 years.
Set in 76 acres of rolling Hertfordshire parkland with far reaching views across the Gade Valley, the school benefits from an open, expansive environment in which our pupils learn, explore and play. Pupils flourish here: the surroundings afford a safe-haven for discovery and experimentation while the energy and opportunity of London is only a stone’s throw away.
Founded over 100 years ago to educate young women of character, the school places great value on the development of the individual. Those girls lucky enough to come here will leave as confident, ambitious and creative individuals.
The ISI Inspection in January 2020 acknowledged Abbot’s Hill as ‘excellent’ in both the academic and personal development of the pupils – the highest judgement possible.
