This is a fantastic opportunity for an existing middle leader and an outstanding teacher with a proven track record of high achievement for all students ready to make the move into senior leadership.
Do you have the ability to inspire both staff and students, to improve outcomes in the short term, and to transform English teaching at the academy in the years ahead? That’s the sort of colleague we are seeking: someone to take on the role of Head of English and to support the continued development of our English department.

Montsaye Academy is a vibrant and active community where learning and achievement, in their widest sense are viewed as the core purpose of our work.
