Teacher of English (MAT Cover)

We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and motivated Teacher of English to join an innovative and creative English department to cover a period of maternity leave for up to one year. The role would be suitable for either an experienced member of staff or an NQT, and experience or the desire to teach Media Studies or A Level would be highly advantageous.

· Have experience teaching all across Key Stage 3, and be able to demonstrate experience teaching at Key Stage 4. Experience teaching at Key Stage 5 would be advantageous but not essential.

· Be willing to go above and beyond what is expected, encouraging students to achieve as highly as possible.

· Possess a tenacious ambition for their students, seeking to give them exciting and engaging opportunities for learning.

· A modern building with fantastic facilities and resources.

· A supportive and friendly community of staff and students.

· A full induction programme.
