The intention is to appoint a high calibre leader for our outstanding English department.
As a dynamic Head of English you will enthuse students through the provision of high quality teaching and learning, encouraging all students to develop their potential to the full. The successful candidate will be a leader who is passionate about all aspects of language and literature with a drive to make a difference and maintain our high standards in English.

Students at St Andrew appreciate being taught well and enjoy their learning. They expect high standards and like to be challenged and stretched in the classroom. They participate well and enjoy taking responsibility across the school. All students are entered for both GCSE English Literature and Language.
Our last set of GCSE results in 2019 were outstanding with a Progress 8 of 0.33. Results in English were very strong: grade 4 and above was 84% and grade 5 and above was 63%. Students benefit from one-to-one feedback and advice on Y11 English Mock exams from English advisers working for our Trust at key points in KS4 which they find inspiring.
Our first cohort of A Level students received Centre/Teacher Assessed Grades in English Literature in August 2020/1 and the English Literature course is an extremely popular course in our sixth form.
We are determined to appoint a candidate who will fit well with our staff body and one that will exude the whole school ethos. The candidate must be an excellent classroom practitioner and be able to demonstrate that s/he can play a leadership role across the school.
