About our English Faculty
Core to the English Department ethos is a deep-rooted love of learning, where teachers strive to enrich the learning experience of their students through quality-first teaching and extracurricular opportunities. Students regularly attend trips to the theatre, experience in-school productions, and participate in workshops led by published poets, authors and university lecturers. We take pride in nurturing talent; students are entered into department based and national writing competitions with the opportunity to have their work published. Further to this, developing student's skill of oracy and creating articulate speakers is a prime focus. Students are entered into national, and interschool speaking competitions and have the opportunity to be trained by professional performers. We look to reward students at every opportunity (irrespective of their academic ability) building a culture of success for each student.
The department is vibrant, creative and we strive to support students at each stage of their academic journey. Through academic and pedagogical research, we always aim to further raise the standards of our teaching and aspire to enable our students to achieve their potential. The English department is a supportive team and we are looking for a teacher who embodies a team ethos and a culture of working together.
