Job overview

Hylands School. Where Teachers love Teaching. 

We love teaching. Simple. We love it when students "get it". When they have that penny drop moment after struggling and thinking hard. We love class discussions, we love silent contemplation and study, we also love students working together.  

At Hylands we love developing our teaching. This is why we send students home early on a Tuesday and spend two hours each week talking, collaborating and planning our teaching, and then we all leave before 5pm. We understand that great teaching is the reason why students at Hylands are great learners. Nothing trumps great pedagogy.  

Hylands School are looking to appoint an exceptional professional who will join a successful  enthusiastic and talented humanities faculty and work with us to inspire our students. The role will involve teaching RE and English at key stages 3 and 4 and would be suitable for an experienced teacher or an NQT.  

The successful candidate will be someone who knows how to inspire students in order to challenge them to achieve outstanding progress and help them acknowledge the importance of religious and cultural diversity, someone who is prepared to go ‘above and beyond’. 

Our English department is a collaborative, dynamic and supportive team who believes in creative and high-quality teaching that meets the needs of learners. Challenge and engagement is essential to our ethos. In English we teach a range of topics throughout KS3, including Gothic, Poetry from other Cultures and the Magazine Project. At KS4 we challenge students further with texts such as Jekyll and Hyde, Romeo and Juliet and Relationships Poetry. Our successes have then made English Literature at A Level a popular choice and our team are one of the most successful within the school.  

The school offers excellent working conditions and staff receive strong support for their professional development. Committed and excellent practitioners will find Hylands School a place where career development is taken very seriously.    

The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of young people and their achievements both inside and outside school. The post requires enhanced DBS clearance, medical    checks and satisfactory references.
