Job overview
St. Hugh’s is a friendly and thriving school set in the delightful village of Woodhall Spa. We offer a stimulating, well-resourced teaching environment that has high expectations for pupil achievement.
Applications are invited for the position of Head of English from September 2017 or sooner if possible. The position would be ideally suited to candidates with prior experience of teaching English in a prep school or to pupils in KS2 & KS3. A keen interest in Drama would be beneficial together with the ability to teach a second subject.
The successful candidate will be required to teach English to pupils in KS2 & KS3 but involvement with younger children will be required in extra-curricular activities.

The teaching salary will reflect the experience of the candidate.
Completed application forms and a covering letter should arrive at the school by no later than Friday 17th March 2017.
