English Subject Leader

We are seeking to appoint a passionate and well-qualified subject leader of English to lead an outstanding English department following the promotion of the current subject leader. The successful candidate will have a clear vision on how to take a highly successful department even further. The department is fully staffed, with 15 teachers ranging from NQTs to very experienced teachers. 

We are an inclusive department who have always entered all KS4 students for both English Language and English Literature at GCSE. The subject is also very popular at  A level, where the department offers both English Literature and Combined English Language and Literature. 

Lampton School is a mixed, multi-ethnic 11-18 school that converted to Academy status in September 2010. We are a SCITT centre, a National Teaching School and have IIP Status. Lampton School was judged as "outstanding" in all categories by Ofsted in May 2008 and again in May 2013. It was also featured in the Ofsted report 'Twelve outstanding secondary schools - Excelling against the odds'. The school is a Lead member of Challenge Partnership – a national collaborative network of 240 schools committed to improving the quality of education across our network. It is also the lead school in a Schools Direct Alliance and is heavily committed to the training of new teachers.

Lampton School actively encourages and supports the safeguarding and protection of all its pupils. This post is subject to an enhanced DBS disclosure.
