About you

We are looking for an enthusiastic, dynamic and well-qualified specialist graduate teacher who can teach English throughout KS3 and KS4 across the ability range, including GCSE in English Language and Literature.

We will also look to you to deliver high standards of teaching and learning, whilst making a full contribution to the ethos, identity and life of the school and to the Guernsey Federation of Secondary Schools.

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 are embarking on a federated model of partnership working led by the Director of Education.

The drivers in Secondary phase education for this visionary change are: equality of educational experience and outcomes, equality of opportunity and access, and efficient and effective use of resources.

Benefits

This is an excellent opportunity to join an English Department which is well-resourced with six specialist rooms and the vast majority of the teaching done by English specialists. 

This post carries an eight-year employment permit. If appointed, you can expect to:

  • 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;
  • Receive a generous relocation package to the island, including rent allowance; 
  • Enjoy the benefits of more generous tax allowances on an island with no VAT.

Values and vision

St Sampson's High School aims to help motivate students by raising their expectations. Students are often encouraged to work effectively with each other in  small group collaborative tasks and to be respectful of each other’s views and contributions. The school aims for students to make a significant contribution to their wider community through, for example, participation in sponsored events to raise school funds, support for local senior citizens’ care homes, raising funds for international disaster relief efforts and through acting as buddies and mentors for their junior peers. Importance is also placed on providing a broad range of activities and experiences planned beyond the classroom which enrich pupils’ learning. This is why the school prides itself on having strong links with local sports clubs in rugby, cricket, athletics and football with competitive school fixtures across a number of sports for both girls and boys at all stages. The school also looks to extend pupils’ experiences beyond the school through off-site visits to other facilities and centres within Guernsey (such as Footes Lane for athletics) and international visits beyond Guernsey (such as to France and Italy).
