Charters School is seeking to appoint a Teacher of English to join us in September 2025.
This post would suit an ECT or more experienced teacher– we will consider applications for part-time or full-time position.

The School offers a strong tradition of excellent outcomes but also a broad curriculum offer suited to all students. The school’s behaviour policy is robust, and staff have welcomed the introduction of centralised sanctions and inclusive policies.
The English department is very strong and deemed a ‘Beacon’ subject in the School’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023. The team are dedicated to a cohesive collegiate approach which means that individuals are supported and are able to excel. The academic outcomes are underpinned by a board curriculum offer and excellent extra-curricular opportunities. Historically, students have achieved outstanding outcomes at GCSE and A Level.
