Teacher of English - with potential for responsibility

We are a Trust of nine schools, all based in South East London. Whilst each of our schools maintains its individuality, we share a common mission: to ensure that every single child and young person in our care is successful at school so that they can flourish and be successful in their lives.

Our mission is simple – we want pupils to ‘Become their best at Borough’ in all aspects of their lives. We have the highest aspirations for each young person we work with and strive to help them to fulfil their potential.

Our Academy values, which were created by our young people, speak to that. We expect our learners to become excellent ambassadors for their community, by working hard to achieve their aspirations, whilst becoming kind and resilient citizens.

Our location in the centre of the capital allows us to provide a unique take on the curriculum, making the most of partnerships with world leading organisations which enrich and enhance our offer. In all areas of the curriculum, we aim to ignite a spark which enables our young people to become scholars of their chosen subject disciplines.  

We are seeking an outstanding candidate to teach English, initially to KS3 and KS4 but building to include KS5.

 The successful candidate will plan and deliver outstanding lessons, inspire students and contribute to the continuing development of the English curriculum and the department whilst ensuring high standards of teaching, learning and achievement and efficient use of resources.

 We are looking for an innovative English teacher with excellent subject knowledge, who can enthuse, engage and motivate young people at all levels, and contribute fully to our team. 

We hope that this brief information, alongside the recruitment details, encourages you to decide to apply to join us in our exciting current phase of development.
