Job overview

One-year fixed term contract.
This position represents an excellent opportunity for an inspirational teacher of English to join a dynamic, high achieving department. We are looking for someone who has the desire and experience to inspire a love of English and achieve excellent outcomes for students.
At key stage 4 we are currently delivering the Eduqas specification and it is vital that you are able to confidently teach this style of specification. You will need to pursue excellence from our students and support them in accessing their full potential across the subject area, regardless of background.
Positive relationships and a culture of high expectations of our students and ourselves are key aspects to the culture of our school. Lowton Church of England High School is on a mission – to provide an exceptional education for every young person that we serve in our school community so that their life chances are transformed.
Our school is underpinned by its Christian values of Caring, Learning and Succeeding. These palpably define the culture of the school. We test all we do through the lens of what is right for each child.
In our most recent successful inspection, our strong vision for the curriculum, determined leadership and increased trajectory of improvement are all recognised.
We are a vibrant and inclusive 11-16 comprehensive school of around 750 students, with an established reputation as a welcoming and forward-thinking learning community. Being located on the Warrington/Wigan border gives us a Warrington postcode but we are part of Wigan LA.
The conditions are ripe to make this an exceptional school and we are now looking for a committed and aligned individual with drive and passion for the school’s ambition to raise and support the aspirations of all students.
How to apply
The closing date for all applications is 9.00 am, Monday 6th June 2022. Early applications are encouraged and we reserve the right to close the vacancy early if a suitable candidate is found.

Lowton Church of England High School is a community where we are passionate about equipping young people to make a positive difference in the world. We are a vibrant and inclusive 11-16 comprehensive school of around 780 students, with an established reputation as a welcoming and forward-thinking learning community.
The Governors and staff of Lowton Church of England High School are committed to the provision of a high quality education in a Christian context. We aim to provide a school where we can live out our ethos of Caring, Learning and Succeeding on a daily basis and let our light shine. At the heart of the commitment is the notion of the uniqueness and infinite worth of the individual, that every person is valuable in the eyes of God and that they are, indeed, the light of the world.
Kieran Larkin joined in September 2020, with extensive Headship and school improvement experience, and has set about clarifying a mission-led, values-led ambitious curriculum vision that defines all that we want for our students.
Our ambition is not rooted in what an inspection framework is looking for, but comes from our underpinning Christian principles of caring, learning and succeeding so that every child regardless of their background or context will flourish, thrive and succeed in their time with us.
However, it is a reflection of our approach and commitment to excellence that our recent inspection - March 2023 - graded us 'Good' in all areas and recognised the strength of our vision, ambition, curriculum and leadership as a team. We do all that we do ‘through the lens of the child’.
We are a school on a mission – a Christian mission as well as an educational one. In fact, it is our firm belief that the combination of the two will have a transforming effect on the life of each child.
