Teacher of English

The successful candidate will have the ability to relate well to children and adults, have the ability to deal with conflicting demands and be able to work flexibly. You will also be a talented individual who will foster a supportive learning environment for our students.

You will be working with students, colleagues and visitors across the school, so you’ll need to love working with people, have very high standards and be prepared to work hard. You will also uphold our values of Ambition, Bravery and Respect throughout everything you deliver.  

The successful candidate will have an unwavering commitment to raising standards within the Faculty, be highly motivated, creative and above all resilient.

Our ethos is children first and we’re here to transform the lives of children, many from hugely disadvantaged backgrounds. Working in our schools can be challenging, but hugely rewarding in terms of the difference you can make to children’s futures.

If you have the vision and skills to deliver inspirational teaching whilst having the focus and drive to ensure successful outcomes are reached we’d love to hear from you.
