Teacher of English, Dunottar School, Reigate

We are looking to employ an inspirational English Teacher on a full-time basis from September 2023.  Part time applications may be considered depending on the level of flexibility offered. 

The English Department, one of the largest in the school, is ambitious and extremely successful.  At GCSE, students follow the AQA syllabus for English Language and English Literature while at A-level, they follow the OCR English literature syllabus. Classes at Key Stage 3 and 4 are set according to ability, and texts are chosen to the benefit of all pupils’ progress.   

The department encourages students to read as widely as they can through fortnightly lessons in the library for Year 7, a ‘book bingo’ initiative, e-books, a news app, visiting speakers and competitions. Co-curricular involvements include a student ezine, reading clubs, theatre visits and visiting workshop facilitators.  

The department is friendly, welcoming and supportive: staff are keen to share resources and embrace new ideas, aspiring to keep their teaching fresh and exciting. The department aims to stretch and challenge every student to realise their potential. We are therefore looking for a dynamic teacher of English.  Applications are invited from well-qualified and talented teachers for this post. We would welcome applications from early career teachers  and experienced teachers alike. We also have the United Teaching route available for unqualified applicants looking to undertake their PGCE part time whilst working/teaching.   

 The successful candidate will share our passion for developing the work of the department and sharing good practice. They will also play an active role in the extensive and varied co-curricular program at the school, both during the working week and some weekends.
