Job overview
We educate students rather than simply train them to pass tests. Take a look at our website to find out how we prepare children for a life of adventure: https://www.sidcot.org.uk
Working in our highly regarded English Faculty which has a reputation for outstanding, innovative teaching and excellent examination results, you will be an inspirational and well-qualified teacher, who is accomplished in teaching Key Stage 3 English, GCSE English Language and Literature and A-level English Literature. A willingness to teach IB English in the Sixth Form is highly desirable and IB training will be provided, as necessary.
Sidcot has a well-established international community with around 30 different nationalities living and learning together. As such, we aim to offer diversity through our curriculum and schemes of work. Most lessons and resources are digital; so a willingness to embrace our IT platforms, such as Microsoft OneNote is important. A readiness to teach across the ability range is essential, and SEN literacy support and EAL experience would be an expectation. Above all, we seek a colleague who inspires a love of reading and writing and encourages students to challenge all they hear and read.
Sidcot School is a thriving independent day and boarding school set in glorious countryside just 7 miles south of Bristol Airport. Our Quaker principles encourage us to ‘Live Adventurously’ and we approach school life at Sidcot in a way that develops curiosity and confidence and a life-long love of learning.

About Sidcot School
Sidcot School is a mixed, independent, all-through Quaker school and sixth form for pupils aged three to nineteen. It is located in Winscombe, Somerset, in south-west England, and has about 550 students on its roll.
The school can trace its history back to 1699, when it was founded by Quakers. However, it moved to its current site in 1808.
The school is a registered charity, and is administered by its governing body. At least half of these governors must be members of the Religious Society of Friends.
Headmaster
James Jones
Values and vision
The school is established on strong Quaker values, and this remains a key part of its ethos today. It places a strong emphasis on mutual respect.
Quakers believe “in living life adventurously and letting their lives speak”. In practice, the school says, that means teaching in a way that encourages individual thought, questioning and exploration. The school also aims to ensure that pupils have all the support they need to grow as individuals, and recognise and celebrated their talents.
The school welcomes students of all faiths and none.
