Teacher of English

We are delighted that due to growing numbers of pupils and a greater emphasis on literacy in our curriculum we are appointing both Teacher of English and Teacher of English with a TLR. 

Our English Department, at Theale Green School, is vibrant and engaging where students are the focus of everything we do. A leading department in the school, we have made rapid improvements which are reflected in our results. The past three years have evidenced strong increases in both Language and Literature. The English Department is staffed with dynamic teachers who ensure our teaching practice maximises standards of student progress and attainment. The successful applicant will be expected to continue the vision that we share and take a leading role in adapting and developing progress at Theale Green School. 

Moving from a 60% to 71% pass rate at GCSE and from ALPs 9 to 4 at A level, the department has worked cohesively to improve the outcomes of all our students. An external English review reflected that English students recognise the passion for teaching within the department coupled with ‘strong subject knowledge’.  At KS5, a highly innovative leader has moved results from an ALPS 9 to 4, with pass rates above national rage and West Berkshire averages.  Students at Theale Green recognise the value of the learning journey that the English Department offers from KS3 through to KS5. 

The concluding comment of the English Review stated that ‘the English Department has the potential to be an outstanding department’. This mirrors the vision for the team and therefore we seek dynamic and forward-thinking specialists to help us achieve our department goals.
