English Teacher

We are offering a fantastic opportunity to join the Morris Education Trust (MET) in the role of Teacher at Witchford Village College, a popular and growing 11-16 school, just two miles west of Ely. MET is a recently formed and fast-growing multi-academy trust, currently including two Village Colleges and a new special free school with an autism specialism. At Witchford Village College (WVC) there is also a specialist autism unit and we pride ourselves in inclusivity and opportunity for all.
