Job overview
General
The school seeks a passionate, enthusiastic and talented practitioner with qualifications and experience to teach across the Senior School age range (11 to 18 years old). English is a strong and dynamic department in the school, offering courses at IGCSE and IB.
English Department
The English department in the Senior School is an academic, organised, supportive and energetic team of nine. Our department is central to the existence of the school: it is our job to ensure that pupils leave this British school utterly confident in their English usage and with a love of literature and of the English language. Our achievements in inspiring the pupils with structured, dynamic teaching supported by well-considered schemes of work. Although the majority of our pupils speak Portuguese at home, our approach, in keeping with our ethos as a British school, is to teach virtually as if they spoke English as a first language. Our pupils take Cambridge IGCSE English and English literature in Form 5 (Year 11). In addition, the non-expat children sit Cambridge IGCSE English as a second language earlier in Form 4 (Year 10). We are very proud of our on-going success at IGCSE.
Start is expected to be in August 2022.
