Curriculum Director of English

This is a truly exciting opportunity for an existing or aspiring Head of English to take on a new role taking the delivery of English one step further in the College and, as part of the Core Curriculum Directors’ Leadership Team, across the Federation. In this role, you will lead and represent the English Department to make a real impact, developing innovative learning opportunities for students to enable them to achieve outstanding outcomes.

The value and status we give to the role of Curriculum Director is reflected in:

• an enhanced curriculum directors’ pay scale;
• a timetable commitment of 50%;
• a opportunity to contribute to curriculum development across the Federation as part of the Curriculum Directors’ Leadership Team;
• an enhanced professional development programme.

It is expected that the successful candidate will consistently plan and deliver good and outstanding lessons within the department. The College offers English at Key Stage 3, GCSE and A Level. We are looking for an innovative and forward–looking individual who can inspire students and contribute fully to a very active and successful English team.

Having subject and curriculum knowledge so that the department can develop and implement schemes of learning and resources will be invaluable to the leadership of the English Team. The Curriculum Director is a member of the Federation’s English Curriculum Board where decisions about choice of courses, qualifications, assessments and schemes of work are explored and made. 

We seek for our Curriculum Director in English to also be able to actively contribute to the development of teaching, learning and assessment. Having an understanding of what makes excellent quality of education within English will be expected too.
