They will also be keen to teach either our cross-curricular KS3 ‘Creative Curriculum’ (which has been extended to Years 8 & 9 to provide a pathway into several subjects including Business Studies) and /or aspects of our IT curriculum. Both of these subjects have a fully developed curriculum in place.

Applicants will be ambitious, enthusiastic, and highly motivated teachers, determined to achieve the highest standards for the students that they teach. If you have energy and passion for your subject and would like to join a dynamic, collegiate and innovative Business Studies team with a strong track record of success, then we look forward to hearing from you. We welcome applications from people at any stage of their career and have a strong ECT programme. 

Why William Edwards School?

William Edwards is a large, successful, harmonious and thriving mixed 11-16 comprehensive school. Pupil outcomes across the school are historically strong. However, life at William Edwards is about so much more than just GCSE outcomes. We are proud of our national reputation for sport, the arts are extremely strong and we are proud to boast the largest Duke of Edinburgh Award cohort in the East of England.

Following the school’s most recent inspection in May 2019, Ofsted said that “pupils who spoke to inspectors were effusive about their experience in school” and were are delighted that our recent inspection captured our considerable strengths in teaching, pastoral care, behaviour, pupil support and curriculum. We are pleased that these 'cornerstones' of high quality education remain strong at the school.
