English Teacher

Outwood Grange Academy Trust is looking for an energetic, enthusiastic and inspiring classroom practitioner with a real passion for English. We offer an exciting opportunity for a colleague with the skills and determination to make a significant difference to the lives of our students, sharing our single goal of ‘Students First’. 

As part of a driven and highly supportive English team, you will have excellent subject knowledge, a willingness to share best practice and a desire for students to love English as much as you do. As a member of the Outwood Family you will share our vision to improve standards and transform the lives of the young people in our community. 

As in all OGAT secondary academies, the department prepares students for Eduqas GCSE English Language and English Literature qualifications. The programme of study is fully resourced with high-quality materials produced by staff across the trust who know this specification well. We aim to make all our teachers ‘experts’ in preparing students for GCSE examinations, using our thorough and systematic methods devised over many years. We have the benefit of support from the trust’s team of expert English directors, who provide support, materials, advice, coaching and who model and team-teach in lessons alongside us to develop our expertise. We work hard to ensure we reduce workload on staff, allowing more time in the classroom to put our vision of students first, raising standards and transforming lives into practice.

Providing excellent professional development and career progression is at the heart of Outwood Academy Grange Trust. OGAT is proud to be a part of the National Institute of Teaching (NIoT) hosting its North and East campus as Outwood Academy Redcar and Outwood Academy Adwick. The NIoT identifies best practice in education, in order to develop cutting-edge, evidence-based teacher training and professional development programmes. OGAT colleagues benefit from the work of the institute, which draws on the expertise of some of the most outstanding school leaders in education today.  

Prospective applicants are welcome to contact us if they have any questions or would like to arrange a tour at one or more of our academies. The academies under consideration are Outwood Academy Redcar and Outwood Academy Acklam. As vacancies arise, we'll discuss with successful candidates where their base will be. Whether you are an aspiring ECT or experienced teacher, come and see what we are all about! Please contact s.cole@outwood.com should you wish to visit one of our schools to see what we have to offer or if you have any questions.

If you share our vision, join our family.
