We are looking for a dynamic, passionate and inspiring leader of English.

• A highly supportive team of colleagues who are visible, hard-working and committed to our young people.

• Ongoing bespoke professional development and career pathways.

• The chance to work with great young people in a comprehensive setting, in a beautiful part of the country.

• A multi-million £ investment programme planned across the school over the coming 3 years.
