Job overview
Tes is supporting the appointment of a Teacher of English to join a school based in Buckinghamshire.
If you are passionate about teaching English, would enjoy extending and enriching the English experience of able, enthusiastic students and are eager to work alongside a team of experienced and dedicated colleagues then this is the ideal role for you.
The successful candidate will demonstrate strong subject knowledge, and a genuine enthusiasm for developing creative approaches to teaching in the classroom and contributing to wider opportunities in the department.
The school has the flexibility to build either a full time or a part time role.
The Department
English is a thriving department at the school. It is an exciting, innovative place to study and work, committed to fostering a life-long passion for the beauty of the English language in their students through the skills of analysis, synthesising, extrapolating meaning and writing fluently.
The department achieves excellent GCSE and A Level results and many students go on to study English at Oxford, Cambridge and other Russell Group Universities.
The department’s curriculum is designed to develop their students’ ability to empathise and to understand relationships, psychology and people. They want them to learn and question the ‘big’ ideas of life; to learn how historical factors have influenced lives; to learn to experience things that in ‘real’ life they may never experience. The school wants them to learn to dream, to laugh, to cry and to escape - and, fundamentally, to learn who they are and who they will become.
The department comprises a mix of experienced and more recently qualified teachers. The Head of Department leads a culture of collaboration, sharing resources and expertise around the team. It is a vibrant learning environment with student-led Academic Societies, large numbers of students completing EPQs with a literature focus and a wide range of extra-curricular opportunities embracing creative writing, wider reading clubs and some excellent theatre and creative writing trips.
All applicants need to have the Right to Work in the UK to be considered for the role.
