Job overview

On behalf of the Academy Committee, we are seeking an inspirational Teacher of English to join our wonderful school and English department at Cardinal Wiseman Catholic School within The Romero Catholic Academy. This is an exciting time to be part of a growing team as we strive for academic excellence for all students in our care.

The Teacher of English position is an ideal opportunity for an NQT or an experienced teacher seeking a new challenge. The ability to also teach KS5 would be desirable but not essential.

At the heart of the English department is a dedication to study great literature, with a range of poetry, modern novels and classic heritage texts being introduced to students throughout their Cardinal Wiseman journey. We endeavour to bring these to life through teachers with expert subject knowledge, whilst at the same time giving students the opportunity to engage with media resources, drama events, group discussions and independent research.

Cardinal Wiseman is an 11-18 school in the north-east of Coventry which is on a journey of improvement. The school’s A-Level results were the best in the city in 2016, and students achieved 73% grades 9-4 for English in Summer 2017.

These posts are instrumental in driving improvement in the school to enable even more students to achieve their full potential. If you are a passionate and motivated teacher who is focused on helping students develop a deep subject knowledge in order to achieve their true potential, we would welcome your application.

We would be delighted to show you around our school, to arrange a visit, please contact Mrs Renata Robins on 02476 617 231 or email admin@cardinalwiseman.coventry.sch.uk.

Closing Date for applications: Monday 15th October noon

Interview Date: Wednesday 17th October 2018.

Cardinal Wiseman – Why choose us? 

We are a learning community that is committed to achieving the very best for all our pupils, regardless of their background. If you choose to further your career with us, you will join us at an exciting time of growth and development as we continue on our journey to becoming an Outstanding school. We provide a very supportive environment in which all staff work collaboratively to achieve the best outcomes for our students. We have excellent partnership links across the 200+ schools within the Archdiocese and regularly achieve some of the best A level results in Coventry.

Through our Trust ‘Blue Sky’ Teaching School we are able to offer each member of staff bespoke CPD packages to ensure all staff are supported from NQTs to those aspiring to leadership.  Teacher training and development draws from effective practice with links Nationwide with our Multi Academy chains and aims to develop teaching and learning practice that is at the forefront of current educational practice. Most recently staff have developed their research ideas with both Newman University and St Mary’s Twickenham. Subject specialists have also strong links with St Augustine’s School as an outstanding Teaching School place within the top 30 in the Country for Progress 8.

We also recruit staff through Teach First and School Direct as a member of the Castle Phoenix Alliance and Blue Sky Alliance. PGCE students are placed in school from Warwick University and Newman University amongst other providers. At all levels there are opportunities to mentor trainees and to support new staff as NQT’s or as new in post. We have development opportunities for leadership through work with ex HMI and trained Ofsted inspectors to improve the quality of our own evaluation. Importantly we have moved to become a member of a multi academy company (Romero Academy) with our feeder schools and there are very good examples already of joint work on Key Stage 2 to 3 transition. 

If you are interested in any of the posts we currently have advertised we would very much welcome you to visit the school or to meet with members of the leadership team to discuss your ambition and career potential.
