Job overview

A rare opportunity has arisen to join our team in Warwickshire’s beautiful, medieval market town of Henley-in-Arden. Where better to teach English than in the district of Stratford-upon-Avon, at the heart of Shakespeare's county? English sits within the Faculty of English, Languages and the Arts, so you will benefit from joining a large team of supportive colleagues in a school that places a strong emphasis on the importance of the arts curriculum.

Celebrating a fourth, consecutive year of record results, teachers that are passionate about inspiring learning will thrive here – join us in our relentless pursuit of ‘Achieving Excellence Together’. In Summer 2017, the English team achieved 83.2% Grades 9-4 and 72.3% Grades 9-5, and an 'Above Average' Progress 8 for English in the top 20% of schools nationally.

Visits to our green-field site, bordered by the River Alne, are welcome (and encouraged!) so that you may see for yourself why Ofsted describe our flourishing students as, ‘…well behaved, polite and courteous’.

We aim to make education an enjoyable experience which will help develop a life-long love of learning. Henley aims to be a school where excellent relationships based on mutual respect provide a happy atmosphere in which pupils thrive.

Our Vision is achieved through the commitment and quality of the teachers and support staff, working in close partnership with parents in a caring and open manner. We celebrate achievement and believe young people flourish when there is security, good self-discipline and a strong code of conduct. We have the highest expectations of all members of our community.
