At Kingsbury School, we believe every child can achieve exceptional outcomes with the right support, ambition and belief. Our mission is simple: Enthuse, Aspire, Achieve and we are looking for an English teacher who shares that drive.

This is more than a teaching role. It is an opportunity to be part of a school that is relentlessly focused on raising standards, building confidence, and unlocking potential, especially for our most vulnerable students.

Whether you are an ECT or an experienced teacher, you will join a supportive, ambitious and forward thinking English team committed to delivering excellent outcomes at GCSE and beyond. We are less interested in how long you have been teaching and more interested in your commitment, energy and belief that every student can succeed.

What makes this role different?

 A culture of high expectations and strong relationships

 A team with the freedom to innovate and lead change

 A clear focus on staff development, wellbeing and recognition

 Strong behaviour systems and visible leadership

 The opportunity to make a genuine difference every single day

We will invest in you:

 High-quality instructional coaching and regular feedback

 Access to expert support and professional development

 Clear pathways for career progression

 A fully supported induction programme and mentor (for ECTs)

 A well-resourced department

 A strong admin team to reduce workload and support teaching

Additional benefits include:

 Cycle to work scheme

 Free parking

 Access to on-site swimming pool

 Employee discount scheme

 iPad/laptop provision

 A strong commitment to staff wellbeing

We are proud to be part of the Castle Phoenix Trust, offering excellent collaboration, CPD and opportunities to grow as a leader and practitioner.
