Primary Leader of English job summary
Thank you for your interest in the post of Primary Leader of English at Arnold Academy – a middle school, and part of the Pyramid Schools Trust.
In this role, you will be the subject leader for English across upper key stage 2 (years 5 & 6). You will be a strong primary practitioner with expert knowledge of preparing pupils for their English SATs in year 6. This is an exciting opportunity to lead English with passion, in a six-form entry school, with friendly and capable staff and a supportive senior leadership team.
This position will become available as the postholder is planning towards retirement. As this is such an important role, we are succession planning early to ensure the school has adequate capacity during this transition period. You will be joining our warm and welcoming English team in an exciting phase of development. This provides you a great opportunity to help shape the future of the department as we plan for the next 3-5 years of success.
Arnold Academy has approximately 720 pupils across four years. Pupils consistently attain well in English. The school uses Accelerated Reader as a vehicle to help inspire and excite our pupils with their reading; we are extremely ambitious in achieving a positive culture for reading at Arnold. We host visiting authors each term to lead assemblies, meet and greet pupils, and share their books. We have recently invested in a new, bigger library space which benefits from a view onto our ‘quiet area’ courtyard with canopy. We have a thriving wider curriculum enrichment programme, in which all members of the English team play an active role. Classrooms are calm and pupils are focussed. The successful applicant will enjoy a solid platform on which to continue to grow the love of their subject.
We strongly recommend tours of the Academy and a chance for you to meet us prior to application, although this is not essential. Please email admin@aa.pstrust.co.uk in order to arrange a tour.
