Teacher of English

Delivering a holistic education to create happier lives.

The Dukeries Academy is a place where students thrive and are challenged to achieve their full potential. We set high expectations for our young people and give them the support they need to succeed, and we are committed to developing their social skills and attributes along with their academic learning.

Similarly, we are passionate about releasing the full potential of our talented teachers and support staff, and we can draw on the support of the Academy Transformation Trust to take them to the next level. Alongside significant investment in your CPD, you can expect the opportunity to learn from the best and share good practice across the Trust’s network of more than 20 academies.

Like us, you know that English underpins every aspect of daily living. You recognise that by sharing the greatest texts in history and sharpening pupils’ language skills, you can release their creativity and set their imaginations free. Whether you’re an NQT or experienced in teaching KS3 and KS4, we want someone who can bring out the best in every child and make all aspects of English engaging.

In short, you will be as passionate as we are about transforming the lives of young people and giving them the knowledge and results to get ahead. You’d be joining an outstanding department that boasts consistently excellent results at both GCSE and A-level. This year the English department secured 81% 4+, 70% 5+, 30% 7+ and a progress score of +0.38 at GCSE as well as 100% A*-C at A-level, making us one of the top performing English departments in the county. We want someone who can join in this success. In return, you can look forward to fantastic CPD opportunities and prospects that could take you anywhere within the Trust.   

Join us, and your career could take you anywhere within that network, and potentially into the highest levels of school leadership. You can also expect an exceptional package of benefits through our Together Platform. You will enjoy a health cash plan, shopping discounts, cycle-to-work and gym schemes, cinema tickets and an employee assistance programme – plus all the satisfaction of delivering an education that develops young people as individuals, not just students.
