Teacher of English

Tarleton Academy is a vibrant and ambitious school with a culture of high expectations and as part of Endeavour Learning Trust it continues to thrive as part of a successful family of schools. We are now looking for a dynamic, enthusiastic and creative Teacher of English to join our successful, supportive and mutually ambitious team.  The successful candidate will join a forward-thinking academy with a relentless focus on providing outstanding learning experiences and raising achievement.

We are looking for someone with the ability to contribute our drive for high standards, attainment and progress for all learners in English and who is able to inspire and develop outstanding classroom practice with high aspirations for themselves and others. A passion for learning with creative ideas, and an ability to build positive relationships and embed an enjoyment of your subject into lessons is essential.

You will work with a committed team of specialist English teachers and, as a teacher in the faculty, you will be involved in reviewing and developing schemes of work and resources, addressing gaps in attainment of underachieving students and ensuring progression for the classes you teach.

For our staff, we are firmly committed to ensuring this is a job that can be enjoyed, where everyone can flourish because we pay close attention to work/life balance. Across the Trust, we continue to develop strategies that take a common-sense approach to those aspects of the role that could become an unnecessary burden on workload - these include feedback, marking and centralised detentions.

In our schools we have a relentless focus on excellence, expect the highest standards of behaviour but we have a pragmatic emphasis on the balance between challenge and support, high expectation and nurture. And this counts for students and staff, teaching and non-teaching, so that our schools develop a family ethos, where everyone wants the best for everyone else.

In our team, our teachers are committed to continuously improving the classroom experience of our students with a genuine desire to improve their life chances.
