Crossley Heath is an outstanding school. Achievement is excellent and students are provided with outstanding care, guidance and support” (Ofsted Report February 2011)
We wish to recruit an outstanding, enthusiastic and passionate teacher who can bring new ideas and best practice to our English Department. All students at the school study for GCSE English Language and Literature and hence this KS4 post is of key importance, both in terms of securing outstanding progress and ensuring strong recruitment to A Level English subjects at KS5. This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious teacher looking to develop their practice and gain leadership experience within a highly successful and supportive school. We are looking for an excellent classroom practitioner, with a record of high attainment and strong progress, particularly with students of high ability.
Information about the school is available on our website together with further details about the post and an application pack. All completed applications should be returned to Mrs Debbie Gallimore, Executive Leader (debbie.gallimore@crossleyheath.org.uk ) by 12 noon Friday 16 March 2018. Interviews will be held on Monday 26 March 2018.
We are committed to safeguarding children in all aspects of recruitment and selection.
