Teacher of English

What skills and experience we're looking for

We are excited to invite applications for a well-qualified and dynamic individual to join our successful and friendly English department.

We can accommodate an October or January start, so early applications are preferred.

The English Department consists of a supportive team of eight teachers (including some Drama). Our GCSE English results for 2025 were exceptional - 36% grades 9-7, 88% 9-5, 96% 9-4. We are equally as proud of our progress results (+0.87). Drama is strong at CFS and extracurricular drama activities and participation in shows are extremely popular among our pupils.

What the school offers its staff

We are friendly supportive school, where our smaller class sizes mean all adults and pupils are known to each other. Combined with exceptional pastoral care, this means relationships are strong with a positive impact on good behaviour.

We offer membership of the Teachers Pension Scheme and free school lunches. The school keeps shorter term times - 34 weeks per year.

Visits are most welcome - we would be proud to show you our school !

Commitment to safeguarding
