Catch-up Teacher of English

The School

Calthorpe Park School is a highly successful place to learn and grow. The school is in an exciting phase of ongoing development as its numbers increase year on year within the context of outstanding standards of care and expectation.  The school’s projected growth over a number of years creates many ongoing opportunities for staff to develop, enhance and advance their careers within the same institution.  The recently completed building work also offers staff and students first class learning and teaching environments.

We pride ourselves on the excellence of our exam results but our ethos is to support all students to have the opportunity to succeed and the experience of success in a culture of care and consideration; challenge and commitment; respect and responsibility; integrity and impression.  These four are the tenets of ‘The Calthorpe Way’.  We aim to educate the whole child for the whole of their life: no ceilings or parameters; aspiring to excellence in everything we do.
