Teacher of English

The English department is made up of 8 teachers, who believe in making sure our students are given a wide breadth and depth of knowledge across both language and literature that not only sets them up for excellent GCSE results but also life beyond the classroom.

• You will want to strive and deliver a consistently good standard of English teaching. 
• To ensure strong rates of progress for all student through the planning and preparation of high-quality English lessons which engage, motivate and support learners
• To adhere to Outwood Academies lesson expectations
• To consistently apply the Academy Behaviour policy to support all colleagues in establishing high standards of behaviour from students, and in order that students have parity of treatment and expectations in all areas of the academy
• In consultation with the Curriculum Leader for English, contribute to the planning, design and production of good quality teaching materials and resources
• To promote the development and acquisition of literacy skills, including reading, writing, and ensure that all student feedback is timely and effective

 The Outwood Grange Family of Schools offers: 

• The opportunity to work and progress across the Family of Schools. 
• The chance to apply for leadership roles in the Deeps working across the whole Academy. 
• The support and expertise of our Directors working across the Family of Schools. 
• A full and detailed programme of support and development for ECTs. 
• A further comprehensive programme of professional development is provided through the Outwood Institute of Education (formerly the teaching school).

We believe that all teaching and support staff posts within our Family of Schools are key posts in terms of supporting student success and achievement across a broad range of subjects and experiences. As such we are keen to recruit dedicated and ambitious professionals who will add value to our Academy in both academic terms and through involvement in the fabric of learning and success beyond the classroom.
