We are looking for a lively and engaging teacher to lead our fantastic English and Drama department.  The team, which comprises 9 English teachers and 1 Drama Teacher, 2 HLTAs and an administrative assistant is highly successful in every respect. You will lead a remarkable team of professionals who have established excellent schemes of learning and good assessment practice.  We believe in offering a truly rich curriculum so that our pupils experience the best of English literature and develop as confident communicators.  

We are looking for a leader who will guide the team so that our pupils continue to achieve great results and our staff continue to thrive professionally.  As a member of the middle leadership team you will join a group of positive and collaborative colleagues and will be very well supported by an experienced line manager.  This post could be suitable for an experienced middle leader or an ambitious and talented teacher looking to take their first head of department role.

Our ambition at Lynn Grove Academy is that every young person should discover what they are good at and we aim to make this happen by offering a rich curriculum and extensive extra-curricular offer.  Lynn Grove is a school that esteems reading highly and our wonderful library and dedicated librarians support the English department in this endeavour.

Pupils and staff alike have access to exceptional opportunities as members of the Creative Education Trust.  Faculty heads work collaboratively across the trust and for the pupils our cross trust Shakespeare Day is an annual highlight.

At Lynn Grove we absolutely believe in developing ourselves professionally and emphasise the importance of developing subject specific expertise. We will make sure that your professional development is bespoke to your individual needs. We know that working together not only improves results but also reduces workload and our structures support this with a generous weekly allocation of CPD time for all teachers.

About the school and local area

Our pupils make Lynn Grove a great place to work. In our school you will find lively positive young people with open minds who are ready to make the best of opportunities that come their way. They understand and uphold our core values of mutual respect, hard work and kindness. They are polite, considerate and engaging; we have many reasons to be proud of them.  

We are a large and friendly staff team who understand the importance of collaboration to support all our pupils to achieve their full potential.  We invest heavily in professional development and believe in working closely with our neighbouring schools.  

Our ambition is that every young person should leave us with the attributes of a successful young adult ready for the next stage of their education or training. Through our lessons and through our extracurricular offer we aim to foster a love of learning and interests that will be enriching and sustaining well into adult life.  

We are committed to offering a broad and balanced curriculum that allows all pupils to follow their interests and supports them to achieve highly.  We never underestimate the importance of pastoral support and have structures in place to provide care and guidance through the challenges of teenage years.   The pastoral team makes a significant contribution to the positive social, moral, cultural and spiritual life of the school.   

We are proud to be members of the Creative Education Trust family of schools.  As a CET school we have access to outstanding support from the very best experts in school improvement and professional development.  Our pupils benefit from an exciting offer of cross trust enrichment activities and an innovative approach to cross curricular development through the ‘Knowledge Connected’ programme.  

We have outstanding facilities.  At the heart of the school is our wonderful library which  is  open  daily from  0800  to  1730;  popular  with  pupils, it supports our determination that ‘Lynn Grove Reads!’  Our strong sporting provision is enhanced by our extensive playing fields, 3G pitch and newly opened Hard Court Arena.  Imaginative planning has enabled us to suite subject areas together and to provide extensive social space for our learners during break periods.  We have excellent provision for ICT and an impressive Virtual Learning Environment.  

We are fortunate to enjoy great support from Lynn Grove parents who show a real interest in the progress of their sons and daughters and contribute to the sense that our school is at the very heart of our community.

House prices in the local area remain extremely competitive.   The school is situated in a quiet residential area surrounded by extensive playing fields.  We are well positioned for very easy access from the delightful city of Norwich or North Suffolk and we have ample parking for all our staff.  There are 1050 pupils and the school enjoys an excellent reputation in the local community and beyond.
