Head of English and Communication

• Do you have a clear vision, moral purpose and possess the passion and drive to inspire your team and students?
• Are you an excellent classroom teacher?
• Are you innovative and dynamic?
• Are you able to strategically lead and make a significant and sustained impact at Faculty and whole school level?
• Do you have the resilience, generosity of spirit and commitment to make the difference?

If this is you, come and join us at Campion.

Campion School is seeking to recruit an outstanding Head of English and Communications.

The successful candidate is likely to be an existing educational leader – for example, a serving Head of English or an outstanding Second in Faculty – with significant skills, knowledge and experience of leading an English team. In order to have acquired the necessary sound judgement, experience and skill set, we envisage that a current Second in Faculty is likely to have been in post for at least two years and will have a proven track record of improvement for the quality of student outcomes at their current school. 

This is a superb opportunity for an ambitious person to use their leadership skills and continue to drive forward the success of the school to create the best possible educational opportunities for the young people at Campion. The post would suit a strategic thinker with expertise in the teaching of English, high-quality assessment strategies and intervention programmes.

Our staff benefit from a well-being scheme, childcare vouchers, cycle scheme, on-site parking and on-site gym facilities.
