Job overview
Tes is supporting the appointment of Head of English at this secondary school in Essex.
They are looking for an innovative and experienced Head of English to lead, manage and develop the department, maximising student achievement and progress through a creative and challenging curriculum.
The successful candidate will join an English department which consists of a team of subject specialists with a well resources English provision.
The vision is to develop students through the exploration of rich literature that will encourage empathy and creativity. By examining the human experience and considering and challenging the values and morals reflected in stories, plays and poetry throughout history, our ambition is to create life-long learners.
In English they strive to deliver a richly balanced and diverse curriculum that is both relevant and challenging for every student.
In all key stages, the texts are carefully selected to reflect a plethora of cultural and literary contexts, which not only meet the needs of the national curriculum but also cater to the interests and wider issues and ideals that appeal to the community of students we serve.
The English curriculum will enable learners to:
- Develop a love of literature, language and words for all students, taking into account the needs of all students so that everyone experiences success. We strive to share our love of the English language, provoking critical thought and a deep appreciation of the written and spoken word.
- Empower students to take responsibility for their learning. When they write critical essays or creative pieces each student has a voice to give opinions and share thoughts drawing upon morals and values.
Reading is placed at the centre of the KS3 curriculum as students are introduced to a number of challenging texts from a broad range of genres. At KS4 there is a strong academic focus in preparation for GCSE courses. This provides students with the resilience and opportunity to develop intellectually, empathetically and with pride.
