Job overview
Teacher of English
Required to start in September 2021 (or possibly earlier)
English is taught throughout the 11 - 18 age range. We are an enthusiastic, pedagogically thriving team who enjoy results significantly above the national average at all Key Stages. Our KS3 curriculum is exciting and creative and follows the literary cannon chronologically offering breadth and diversity of textual study. All groups in KS3 are mixed ability. KS4 classes are set and we follow the AQA syllabi for both Language and Literature. We are also passionate about the 'Step Up to English' qualification introduced so that all of the students in our care are equipped for life beyond school. English is extremely popular at A-level and we offer both AQA English Language and AQA English Literature alongside excellent extra-curricular opportunities.
Our English department enjoys a collaborative and collegiate ethos with the quality of classroom teaching at the heart of everything we do. The department is also at the centre of the school’s teaching and learning innovation and enjoys strong partnerships with the Prince’s Teaching Institute and PiXL.
The successful candidate should be enthusiastic about English teaching pedagogy and be prepared to work as part of a fully collaborative team. They must foster a genuine concern for the welfare and development of students as individuals.
The school sees the form tutor as a key role in the support, development and welfare of students and teachers are expected to undertake this role with the same standards and commitment as their subject role.
The role will suit either newly or recently qualified, enthusiastic and aspirational teachers or those with good and outstanding practice who wish to share their expertise and make a difference. The school offers a bespoke CPD programme, research and development, links and networks with other outstanding schools as well as a plethora of extra-curricular and cross-curricular working opportunities.
Why come to Hinchingbrooke?

If you are an outstanding teacher, it really is worth applying for this post and joining somewhere special. We are seeking to appoint a candidate who is passionate about their subject area; a team player who will thrive on collaboration and team work. Someone who really wants to make a difference!
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. This post will be subject to an enhanced DBS disclosure.
