We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and inspirational Head of Faculty to join the English team. The English team of subject specialists is hard working, flexible and committed to ensuring that English continues its journey in becoming an outstanding subject area. Our students study a broad and challenging curriculum that covers a range of texts, media and skills.
What the school offers its staff
The curriculum has been designed to develop students’ love of English, meet the needs of our students and develop the skills needed to be successful at GCSE and beyond. The Curriculum incorporates the Hochman method for teaching writing and this methodology is built into all lesson. There is also a clear and cumulative pathway. For example, in Year 7, pupils study Abrahamic Tales and allusions. This helps to build their understanding of more difficult texts in later years such as Macbeth, allowing and encouraging pupils to see connections between texts.

Oasis Academy Enfield opened in September 2007 as a new academy. Initially a group of portacabins and a pioneering spirit, the Academy moved into its £30 million purpose-built accommodation two years later on Innova Business Park, 12 minutes walk from Enfield Lock Station.
The Academy has enjoyed considerable success in its 15 year history. In 2018, Ofsted confirmed that we continue to be a good academy.
