Head of English

An inspirational Head of English is required for The Dorset Studio School on The Kingston Maurward Estate, in Dorchester.
Learning on a 750 acre country estate, our students follow a traditional GCSE curriculum, whilst also specialising in vocational animal and land based learning, within a rural context.
The successful candidate will be responsible for the leadership of English and English Literature at Key Stages three and four. You will lead a team of dedicated and committed staff to ensure a quality of provision that results in strong student outcomes at GCSE. You will have strong leadership and pedagogical skills, as well as a clear focus on raising attainment across the department. A keen environmental awareness is a key aspect of the role, as is the ability to explore every opportunity to apply learning across the beautiful Dorset countryside.
Dorset Studio School is an 11-16 school with a rigorous academic curriculum, also incorporating extensive opportunities for outdoor learning work experience.
You will work with highly skilled colleagues to deliver an engaging and holistic curriculum that enriches our specialism and generates enthusiasm for all subjects within school.
If you want to work in a good school with a creative and ambitious outlook, we would love to hear from you.
