Faculty Leader of English

Kingsway Park High School was established in 2010 and joined the Altus Education Partnership in February 2022. We are now a very popular, oversubscribed school (1,350 students in years 7–11 and 190 staff) located in central Rochdale. We are very proud of the high-quality facilities, resources, and environment that we provide for both staff and students.

At Kingsway Park High School, we strive to transform students’ lives. Through our relationships, we endeavour to instil both resilience and an intrinsic motivation to become confident, creative and highly skilled students capable of meeting tomorrow’s challenges head on. We strive to establish a culture rooted in achievement and progress that encourages our students to grow academically, personally and socially; equipping them with the values of equality, fairness and openness. We pride ourselves on our relentless drive to achieve outstanding, high-quality teaching that provides a safe, supportive and encouraging environment for all our students to be able to realise their academic potential in pursuit of educational excellence.

We are looking to appoint a new faculty leader who has a real passion for their subject and is equipped with the skills to maximise outcomes for students within English at both KS3 and KS4. At KPHS we have introduced a range of faculties which share good practice, foster a sense of competition and work collaboratively to improve student outcomes whole school. The leadership of this faculty is vital to ensure consistency across all year groups. The faculty lead will line manage all TLR holders within the faculty and will monitor, evaluate, and strategically plan areas for improvement across the faculty. This is an exciting opportunity for an existing leader who has effectively demonstrated their ability to develop teaching and learning strategies across their department, engaged students both inside and outside the classroom and has consistently demonstrated improvements in student outcomes.
