Teacher of English

 A vacancy has arisen in our highly successful English department, with recruitment and retention allowance available for a suitable person. We are looking for an ambitious and innovative teacher of English, an energetic and a dedicated practitioner who can engage, enthuse and challenge students to achieve their very best in the subject. You must possess the skills and determination to bring out the very best from pupils by making a significant contribution to our school community. You will have excellent subject knowledge and be well-informed on current educational developments and initiatives, 

You would be joining a team of colleagues who are passionate about making sure that pupils enjoy the subject and securing the best outcomes for our students. We work collaboratively to share good practice, both within the department and across the school as a whole. Being a BSF and Google accredited school, we are very well-resourced with Promethean whiteboards and Chromebooks, with lesson being taught in modern, spacious classrooms.

We are looking for someone who can continue the great results already achieved by the hard work and dedication of pupils and staff in this department. Having secured 76% 9-4, a great deal of our work at KS4 is enhanced by the two members of staff who have current examiner experience with AQA.
