Teacher of English

The Oriel English Faculty

INNOVATIVE, MOTIVATED AND SUCCESSFUL

The Oriel English team currently consists of 12 full-time teachers and 1 part-time teacher, many of whom are post-holders either within the department or across the school. We are lucky to have 10 purpose-built, full-size English classrooms all with interactive whiteboard, projector and teacher’s PC, along with a dedicated English Resource Room, which offers a communal workspace for English teachers.

Additionally smaller seminar rooms are available for Sixth Form lessons and Key Stage 3 students have regular lessons in our spacious and welcoming library.

The English teachers at Oriel aim to provide every student in our care with the opportunity to engage with interesting and challenging texts and concepts as well as equipping them with the language and skills that will pave the way for a successful future. We work closely with other Faculties in the school to ensure that skills, knowledge and vocabulary are widely transferable and consistent.

Our curriculum is broad and diverse, offering a lot of opportunity to tailor your teaching to your own expertise and the needs of your students. Our approach to teaching interleaves the necessary skills with establishing a passion and enthusiasm for the subject beyond the classroom. Our team is committed to ensuring that every student is successful in English, allowing them to access a greater world of opportunities.

We are looking to appoint someone:

• To teach English across the age and ability range in accordance with the requirements of a professionally qualified teacher. A Level experience in both English Language and Literature is desirable.

• To support the teaching and learning in the department through resource development, sharing resources and ideas.

• To support the development and improvement of teaching and learning in the department through reflective and collaborative practice.

• To monitor student performance and identify areas of need and development.

• To participate in the wider school community and provide enrichment activities for students.

• To fully engage with our CPD programme and participate in departmental CPD.

• We would welcome applications from teachers who would like to grow and develop an innovative and forward thinking department. Oriel is committed to career-long teacher development and uses effective CPD to achieve this.
