To start September 2019 

This is a rare opportunity to lead an outstanding faculty in an outstanding school.  We are seeking a dynamic and committed Head of English to lead our exceptional English team at The Howard of Effingham. In return, we offer excellent professional development to help you further your career, as well as support and challenge from our highly strategic Senior Leadership Team to help you ‘Bring out the Best’ in our staff and students.     

We seek to appoint an inspirational and suitably experienced teacher to become a key leader within our dynamic and developing organisation. As the lead school in our MAT, enjoying a well-deserved reputation for academic excellence, The Howard of Effingham provides the perfect place for you to take the next step in your career. Our English faculty is made up of an exceptional group of talented professionals who work tirelessly to ensure that our students enjoy English, benefit in all curriculum areas from being highly literate, and secure the best possible outcomes at the end of their courses. Our GCSE and A level results are testament to the effectiveness of this work and each year our GCSE results have placed us among the top comprehensive schools in Surrey. These successes allowed the vast majority of our students who applied to University to secure one of their chosen places this year.
