Director of English

“Once you learn to read, you will be forever free.” – Frederick Douglass

No English teacher doubts the power of their subject to change lives. But we need someone who wants to have an impact beyond their own classroom and lead a team of passionate professionals to get the best for every pupil. We need a Director of English who has the vision and drive to make improvements.

The successful candidate will have a track record of excellence in the classroom and evidence of facilitating exceptional pupil outcomes. They will also have in-depth subject knowledge and a passion to make a difference to pupils at Dame Elizabeth Cadbury School.

At Dame Elizabeth Cadbury School we want the best for every child, regardless of who they are. That is what drives us. Embedding our high standards of behaviour with excellent teaching practices leads to the best educational outcomes.

We want people who are similarly driven. We want people who will not only grow the next generation but also people who are eager to take every opportunity to grow themselves. We offer superb professional development opportunities, including the full suite of NPQs and excellent ECT support that goes well beyond what many schools offer.

We are committed to fostering a culture that values the health and well-being of all employees at Matrix Academy Trust. We are proud to offer a comprehensive well-being package to all employees, including access to 24/7 online GP, physiotherapy services and counselling services. We also offer all employees annual health checks which includes the flu jab, BMI checks and a general discussion with a qualified Nurse.
