Permanent and full time

For 1 September 2024

The School is one of the country’s leading independent day schools for girls, located on a six acre site in Hammersmith, London. The School’s facilities are excellent, making it an exciting place to learn and work. The students receive unrivalled academic and pastoral support and outstanding examination results are achieved.

A fantastic opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic and well-qualified English Teacher to join the school on a permanent and full time basis from 1 September 2024. The successful candidate will be an inspirational teacher who encourages a deep and scholarly engagement with the subject whilst focusing on excellent levels of achievement for pupils of all ages.

Taught by a highly qualified and experienced department of eleven, English is a thriving subject at the school. As a department they believe in the power of great literature from across the canon to inspire their students and enrich their lives, seeking to build in them a meaningful understanding of the development of English literature through time. They also deepen and enrich that study by exposing their students to a multiplicity of perspectives and voices, reflecting the diversity of their student population and of the city in which they live. They value deep subject specialism alongside pedagogical expertise. Their students demonstrate a genuine enthusiasm for the subject and there is a large take up for it in the Sixth Form across A Level English Literature, A Level English Language, and the IB Diploma.

Candidates should possess the subject knowledge and skills to teach up to A Level and Higher Level IB English; prior experience of teaching the IB is not essential. Members of the department are expected to be committed to the development of English, including engaging with the whole school enthusiasm for evidence-informed teaching and learning. 

All staff are expected to contribute to the thriving extra-curricular programme on offer at the School. 

The salary will be commensurate with the post and will depend upon qualifications and experience.
