Teacher of English

English is a vibrant and much-loved subject at Truro High School with an immensely strong record in public examinations. The subject is well-resourced and the post-holder will be working alongside three other subject specialists as well as becoming part of a talented, supportive and high-achieving group of teachers within the faculty.

The Humanities and Enterprise Faculty plays a significant role in the extra-curricular life of the school. It is an expectation that staff members add to the dynamic and varied offering of clubs throughout the school year. 

The successful candidate will:

· Have excellent relationships with students and a belief in the High Performance Learning framework; their approach to teaching and learning should promote reflective practice and a desire to engage with new pedagogies which stimulate and inspire their own teaching and all students’ learning.

· Be an outstanding and committed practitioner, innovative and dynamic in their methods, able to enthuse students, and be a passionate advocate for their subject at all levels/key stages.

. Manage their time professionally, ensuring marking and reports are completed to a very high standard, in line with the school and faculty guidelines.

· Work collaboratively and positively with colleagues to support the development of teaching and learning within the faculty.

. Ideally have the expertise to teach up to A Level (but not essential).

· Be eager to play a full part in whole school life including extra-curricular activities, school trips, and after school clubs.

. Uphold the professional high standards and ethos of the faculty and school.

Applications should be made on Truro High School’s application form accompanied by a covering letter addressed to the Headmistress, Mrs Sarah Matthews.
