Following the recent promotion of a teacher in our English department, we have an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic, committed and engaging English teacher to join our team. The successful candidate will work within an ambitious, vibrant and high performing Department to instil a love of English in all students.
The English Department has a strong track record of examination success and both English Language and English Literature are offered at A-Level. The Department’s highly capable and experienced teachers play a central role in the development of learning within the school. There is a strong extra-curricular emphasis with excellent debating and public speaking opportunities. The English curriculum is both challenging and engaging, looking to develop students’ appreciation not only of the English language but also of the breadth of its literature. The Department is very well resourced and is constantly looking to develop and update those resources.
We were graded Outstanding in every category by Ofsted in March 2017.
Educating approximately 1200 students, The Bishop’s Stortford High School provides a single-sex education for boys in Years 7 to 11 and has a large, thriving co-educational sixth form, with over one hundred girls on roll. In 2019, 89% of our GCSE students achieved grade 4+ in both English and Maths, contributing to a Progress 8 score of +0.16, compared to a national average for boys of -0.28. At A-Level we had a 55% A* - B pass rate in 2019 and 66% in both 2020 and 2021. We have a strong ethos, based on high expectations and standards for all, a committed and supportive staff who deliver high quality, engaging lessons and well-behaved students with excellent attitudes to learning. We are due to re-locate to a brand new ‘state of the art’ school on a new site less than half a mile from our current location, in January 2023. This exciting project will provide us with a fantastic new learning environment, supported by cutting edge technology, and huge opportunities for the future.
The school provides a supportive environment in which both newly qualified and experienced teachers have excellent opportunities to develop their careers. A formidable range of extra-curricular activities are available to students which include numerous overseas trips, languages exchanges, cultural visits, first class fixture cards in all major sports, a diverse and high quality music and drama programme, DofE, Model UN conference, Young Enterprise, debating, public speaking and much more. The school places a strong emphasis on staff development and the appointed candidate can expect to gain significant enjoyment and professional fulfilment from working here.
