Dear Applicant,

Thank you for your interest in this post.

Byrchall High School is a modern fully comprehensive 11-16 High School, based in Ashton-in-Makerfield and providing a holistic education for the young people of the broader surrounding Makerfield area named in its Admissions Criteria. The school has benefitted from a large DfE new build and the completion of a coherent high quality campus to cater for the needs of all young people will provide a sense of belonging and pride and a real contribution to wider community cohesion. It will coincide with the implementation of the wider community plan that is part of the New Build Project.

Every School plays a crucial role in ensuring achievement and success as a positive learning environment enables engagement, curiosity and motivation. When students find joy in their school experience whether through stimulating lessons, supportive relationships with teachers, or enriching extra-curricular activities, they are more likely to participate actively and invest in their learning.

An ambitious, energetic and committed Second in English is sought to join our English faculty, working closely with the Head of English to implement a vision and maintain the highest professional standards within the team. The English department is a key strength of the school, staffed by a team of organised and dedicated specialists. It is a supportive environment and provides strong professional development. We require an excellent teacher, capable supporting the Head of English to raise standards within the faculty.
