About you

We are looking for an enthusiastic, dynamic and well-qualified specialist graduate teacher to join our English department, which has attained excellent examination results over the last 3 years and continues to improve.

About the Education Service

The three island 11-16 High Schools, the Guernsey Grammar School & Sixth Form Centre (11-18), and St Anne’s School in Alderney work in a federated model of partnership working led by the Director of Education.

The drivers in secondary phase education for this collaborative approach are quality of educational experience and outcomes, equality of opportunity and access, and efficient and effective use of resources.

  • Benefit from the stunning scenery and enviable quality of life;
  • Work in a well-resourced school that follows an innovative Bailiwick curriculum based on the English National Curriculum and which has favourable PTRs;
  • Be part of a leading development of ICT in education and be allocated a personal laptop;

About La Mare de Carteret High School

Located on Guernsey, the Channel Islands, La Mare de Carteret is a secondary school first established in its current form in 2009, following a merger with another local secondary school. The school follows the standard curriculum common between all schools on the Channel Islands, with students at the school ultimately working towards their GCSE examinations at age 16. Following students have the option of either leaving education, or continuing their further education studies at a local college, allowing them to study for A-level examinations. The school is able to support this curriculum with a range of modern teaching and recreational facilities. The school is dedicated to providing a comprehensive education for students from a range of social and economic backgrounds, and works hard to ensure that the school curriculum is properly personalised and equipped to support the educational needs of every child. The school also seeks to provide for the personal development of its pupils, ensuring their social and emotional intelligence progresses along with their academic ability.
