Teacher of English

Does your passion for the English language burn bright enough to inspire young people? Would you like to work in a supportive faculty with like-minded colleagues? Bring us your passion and commitment, and we can offer you excellent professional development opportunities while you make a meaningful difference to the lives of our students.

We are an 11-18 school of approximately 900 students, which Ofsted described on their last visit as a school where there is a “sense of pride and a belief among students and staff that they are valued”. They also commented that we have “created a culture focused on maximizing the achievements of all students”, and we expect all our staff to subscribe to this ethos to give our students the best possible start.

We are looking for someone who will:

• be able to deliver engaging and inspiring lessons across all age groups;
• set high standards of professionalism and high standards of behaviour for the students in their care;
• be prepared to go the extra mile to ensure the best outcomes for their classes;
• share our commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of young people, and demonstrate this commitment in every aspect of their work.

English at Heysham High is taught in a self-contained area of the school with interactive whiteboards in every room. The Head of Faculty is an outstanding professional, so you can be assured of support to grow in your practice at subject level as well as having an excellent range of weekly CPD activities at your disposal.

Please have a look at our website for more information about the school and our ethos and curriculum, and we look forward to reading your application. If you need any clarification about the position or the application process, please feel free to contact school.
