English Teacher

We are looking for an English Teacher in a school which offers excellent opportunities for professional development.  The new post-holder will be a strong classroom practitioner with a commitment to achieving the highest standards both academically and in terms of the learning habits and personal dispositions of our students.  

The main purposes of this teaching role are to achieve outstanding examination results for all classes taught, to lead an outstanding tutor group within a pastoral year team and to promote the school’s ethos and vision through, for example, active engagement with the school’s house system.  This is an exciting role for an enthusiastic teacher as we prepare our students for GCSE and beyond (the school’s first GCSEs will be in 2021).  Our oldest Year group started Year 9 in September 2018 so this post is ideally suited to a teacher who is passionate about curriculum design and development, especially at KS4.  

Ealing Fields High School is a member of the Twyford Trust family of schools; the school opened as a Free School in 2016 and became part of the Twyford CE Academies Trust on 1st September 2017.  Ealing Fields is the smallest of the Trust schools, with only 120 in each year group and therefore has a very compact community identity.  The school now has three year groups (7 - 9), totalling 360 students, and the staff community, though still small, is very positive and highly motivated.  The school will move into its new building during 2019-20 but until then will remain situated in temporary accommodation in Wyke Gardens.  Staff joining at this time are likely to have a highly motivated drive towards building an outstanding school community within an already highly successful Trust.

For more information about the school please visit the Twyford Trust and Ealing Fields websites.  For more information about the role please see the Job Description on the Twyford Trust website at:  http://www.twyfordacademies.org.uk/recruitment/vacancies 

The successful candidate will have:
