Job overview
Due to the promotion of the existing post holder, we are seeking a dynamic and creative individual to help lead the English Faculty to its next stage of development. As someone whose lessons are exemplars of outstanding teaching and learning, you will have a proven track record of using your passion for English to inspire students to make the progress of which they are truly capable.

In addition, you will take a substantial role in continually evaluating, developing, and implementing changes to the English curriculum in years 7-11.
