Teacher of English

The Role 

We currently have an exciting opportunity to recruit outstanding teachers of English to join our supportive and highly experienced team in September 2018.   

We are looking for teachers who are resilient, driven and self-motivated and those that will contribute to the success of our cohesive and welcoming department. The successful applicants would be expected to teach a range of classes, including Key Stage 3 and 4, as well as potential Key Stage 5 lessons, where applicable.  Much time is committed to developing a wide range of teaching and learning strategies to be implemented within the subject, with a focus on a collaborative approach to planning with centralised, shared units of work and resources. As a department, we follow the AQA specification at KS4 and, at KS5, we are introducing AQA A Level English Literature in September 2018, whilst continuing to deliver the International Baccalaureate, following the A1 Literature course as part of the diploma.  

Tudor Grange Academy, Kingshurst (formally CTC Kingshurst Academy) will be joining the Tudor Grange Academies Trust from 1st August 2018.    

Additionally, you will benefit from: 

• teaching in a forward-thinking department with excellent resources and facilities for teachers who love their subject
