Possible TLR for right candidate

What skills and experience we're looking for

We are seeking a dedicated and inspiring English teacher to join our team. We are committed to ensuring all lessons are pitched appropriately, so that our students are able to thrive. Our aim is that all students develop a love of English and a desire to achieve the very best they can. There is an opportunity for a TLR for the right candidate.

At key stage 3, students are placed in mixed attainment groups. We aim to encourage debate and discussion, promote a love of reading and develop independent and critical thinking. We believe that providing a rich and varied diet of reading across our literary heritage will enable students to understand their cultural capital. We seek to inspire pupils by reading and emulating the work of wordsmiths from our literary canon – from great novelists and poets to skilful orators. For GCSE (AQA), we retain mixed attainment groups.

Most English lessons are taught in a suite of eight adjacent rooms on the first floor of the Main Building; resourcing for the subject is good. Clerical and reprographic support is available and staff have direct access to reprographic and I.T. facilities.

The English Faculty maintains links with Hampshire Inspection and Advisory Service for Education; the department also works with the language co-ordinators of our local primary schools, particularly in view of our significant cross-phase liaison to improve literacy for all.

Applicants must be skilled practitioners, willing to plan and prepare to a high level; the ability to co-ordinate and participate in our extensive programme of extra-curricular activities is welcomed.

The successful candidate will demonstrate: -

  • a passion for English education with an excellent subject knowledge and pedagogical understanding, particularly of teaching set texts
  • they are an excellent classroom practitioner, who is experienced in teaching English at key Stages 3, 4 and, preferably key stage 5
  • success in achieving consistently good results in English, at least, at key stage 3 and key stage 4, or as an ECT to establish this pedigree
  • the ability to create and facilitate highly challenging and engaging lessons
  • the highest expectations for all students whatever their ability and starting point
  • they are optimistic, positive, and cheerful.


What the school offers its staff

We offer: -

  • well-considered professional development and a wide range of professional opportunities
  • a school in which the student body are well behaved and motived to learn
  • a supportive, committed and experienced team of English specialists to work alongside
  • sound mentoring for all new staff from a stable and experienced senior team
  • excellent accommodation and access to a well-stocked library on site
  • exemplary personnel practice including salary progression and pension contributions
  • a work life balance that values individual happiness and fulfilment.
