English Teacher

Do you see yourself becoming part of a friendly and motivated English Department?

Eaton House The Manor Preparatory School is looking for an energetic and passionate English Teacher to join this busy and vibrant school in September 2022. The candidate will need to have the ability to teach English up to and including the Common Entrance and Public School Scholarship level.

In the Prep School, we focus on introducing boys to a range of genres, texts and writing styles.

The boys are challenged to develop their critical literacy skills through a range of comprehension and composition tasks. We are committed to developing the boys' love of reading and their interest in relating the ideas presented in texts to the wider world.

Competitions

As an extension to their course work, boys are also encouraged to enter a range of creative writing competitions each term. These competitions are updated as they become available and include: the BBC 500 Words Short Story Competition, the Never Such Innocence World War One Poetry Competition and the SATIPS Poetry Competition.

Each term there is a particular house competition linked to the English learning area: public speaking, debating and poetry. These competitions provide an excellent opportunity for the boys to practise their presentation skills, such as verbal delivery, eye contact, gestures and stance. The competitions are a lot of fun and it's always terrific to see the incredible standard of performance in the finals year upon year!

Exams

All boys in Years 4 to 8 complete autumn and summer exams as a way of consolidating the knowledge they have gained in the term. Revision guides are available through the pupil and parent portals and hard copies may be given out by staff.

Reading lists

Boys are encouraged to read widely from a range of genres to supplement their studies of class texts. All boys are welcome to borrow texts from the school library. If there are any particular texts that the boys would like to request, they can submit a request form and the text will be ordered for them.

At the end of the boys' prep career, we hope they leave with a lifelong love of literature, a passion for the written and spoken word, and the power to express their own ideas convincingly and articulately

Successful candidates may be contacted prior to the application deadline date.

A completed application form should be uploaded to the TES jobsite or sent by email to the Head of Human Resources, Miss Jessica Morse (Tel: 0207 924 6000; email: HR@eatonhouseschools.com)
