Teacher of English (Media Studies or Global Perspectives), Senior School

The English Department

The English Department is housed in the School’s new Senior School teaching building. Classrooms have been designed to allow for collaborative learning and teaching, with break-out spaces, operable walls, and modular furniture. All members of the English Department teach across the age range, with teachers enjoying working both with those who have a deep interest in English, who will go on to read English at university, as well as with the scientist or mathematician whose primary interest may lie elsewhere but who nevertheless strives for the top grade in English. This is an important facet of the Department as it promotes a collegial environment and allows for the cross-fertilisation of ideas.

Year 9 pupils follow a course which is designed by the Department which prepares them for their IGCSE course. In Years 9, 10, and 11 pupils study English for eight periods per fortnight. Ten periods are allocated in Years 12 and 13. Pupils follow the Cambridge curriculum at IGCSE and A Level.

English teachers are required to promote interest in English beyond the formal curriculum with pupils being entered in various external competitions, as well as societies that occur during the evenings in the boarding houses. It is expected that a healthy number of Rugby School Thailand pupils will go on to read English at university. 

Experience of teaching or a willingness to teach either CIE Media Studies or Global Perspectives at A Level would be a distinct advantage as the school looks to broaden the range of A Level subjects on offer.
