Sir Herbert Leon Academy is an 11-19 Mixed Comprehensive in Bletchley, South Milton Keynes. Our academy has 587 learners and employs around 100 dedicated teachers and support staff. The academy's senior leadership team places high priority on colleagues' mental health and work/life balance and has established systems to allow staff to flourish. There is a centralised behaviour system, a clear line management structure and opportunities for personal and professional development. As Sir Herbert Leon is a relatively small secondary school, new staff can foster strong relationships with both colleagues and students very swiftly, which enables them to embed within their new team quickly and know how best to teach students, according to their individual needs. The students are the beating heart of the school; it is a privilege to teach them as we continue on our journey to raise aspirations and outcomes for the local community. 

We are looking for a Teacher of English to join our academy starting Easter 2023. The successful applicant will be able to teach across key stages to students of all abilities as well as demonstrate a proven track record of securing excellent student outcomes. 

The English department at Sir Herbert Leon Academy is a supportive, collaborative and diverse team. We have developed an engaging, broad, well-sequenced curriculum that is enjoyed by students across the academy. We saw a marked uplift in outcomes from 2019-2022 (4+ (2019: 44%, 2022:74%) 5+ (2019: 35%, 2022:56%), inspired by the hard work and dedication of a team with subject specialism and the enthusiasm of students who love their English lessons. Our team ethos is driven by our curriculum aim: "To have improved life chances after school by becoming analytical, literate and articulate individuals".
