We are seeking to appoint an exceptional, dedicated and highly effective English teacher who will continue to raise the results of an already successful department, where 79% of students attained a grade 4 or higher in either English Language or English Literature, and 65% attained a grade 5 or higher in either subject in the summer of 2019.

• have a good understanding of research-based practice; 
• have a passion for English, curriculum and pedagogy; 
• have an enthusiastic and positive approach within and beyond the classroom.

Ruislip High School is an outstanding, oversubscribed, 11-18, mixed comprehensive school with over 1200 students on roll. The school opened in 2006 due to the demand for secondary school places in the local community and our brand new sixth form centre opened in September 2020. We obtain excellent results: our summer 2019 GCSE results placed the school in the top 25% of schools nationally; at A Level in 2019, 22% of all grades were A*/A grades and 7% of the cohort attained straight A*/A grades. 

Why work at Ruislip High School? 

• Students and staff treat each other with respect. They share high aspirations which are realised through high expectations of everyone.   
• The school has a comprehensive professional development programme tailored to individual needs, from ECT to middle and senior leadership; new staff are supported and guided by highly skilled and experienced colleagues, and by partners in external organisations.  
• Staff have a range of opportunities to collaborate and develop their career within the Vanguard Learning Trust. 
• Staff are afforded many benefits and rewards as part of the Vanguard Learning Trust’s entitlement package for staff. 
• There are excellent transport links with central London, Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Berkshire. 

In joining Ruislip High School you can expect to work in an environment that focuses on teachers improving, rather than proving, their practice; where teaching and learning is at the heart of everything we do; and where all staff work as a community to support our students to fulfil their potential in line with our school’s motto: from grass roots to reaching for the sky.
