A message from Hadeel, Head of English:
Thank you for your interest in our wonderful, small and supportive school! Our English team is an enthusiastic bunch, dedicated to the best outcomes for all our students. We are housed in a specialist area, with a set of chrome books and a large store cupboard full of lovely books! We are passionate about delivering an updated, diverse and broad curriculum from Year 7 right through to English Literature at A-level, where our groups are small and successful. You will have the opportunity to deliver up to Key Stage 5, both in English and possibly in Media too. At the heart of our school is the Fearnhill library, a vibrant and warm space available to students throughout the day, as well as devoted curriculum time to reading. Our Media option at Key Stage 4 is one of our students’ most popular choices; this is a great area for a creative and innovative approach if you are a teacher who wants to develop in this subject too. The successful applicant will be passionate, a team player and someone who genuinely wants to make a positive difference.
We look forward to meeting you; please get in touch to arrange a visit (some costs can be covered for this), or call Liz Ellis, Headteacher, on 01462 621200 for more information. Alternatively, simply apply. We look forward to receiving your application.
Fearnhill School is committed to recruiting with care and safeguarding the welfare of children and young people; we expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
