English Teacher Maternity Cover

What skills and experience we're looking for

We are looking to appoint a well-qualified, highly motivated and enthusiastic teacher of English, to teach across KS3 and KS4. The successful candidate will join a team of subject specialists, committed to achieving the best possible outcomes for our students. The curriculum has been carefully planned and sequenced and is fully resourced. This post will be suited to both experienced teachers and we encourage applications from ECTs, as we can provide you with support, professional development and fantastic career prospects.

The design of our curriculum is clear and is based on the acquisitions of knowledge and skills through effective planning and sequencing. The implementation of our curriculum is simple: effective delivery, effective teaching and effective assessment. We offer the full curriculum entitlement to our students, featuring a three-year Key Stage3/two-year Key Stage 4. We have a comprehensive offer of qualifications, both at Key Stage 4 and 5 and we give teachers the opportunity to teach across all phases.

What the school offers its staff

We offer a state-of-the-art College facility which is equipped with an entirely new IT infrastructure, including touch screens and visualisers in every classroom. We pride ourselves on managing the workload of staff by offering a disruption-free learning environment.

We have fortnightly CPD sessions for all teaching staff, including whole school staff sessions and sessions directed by Heads of Department to work with their teams. We prioritise and work hard on the things that are important and have impact.

We offer an employee benefits scheme, wellbeing services and free on-site gym.
