What skills and experience we're looking for

We are seeking to appoint a passionate and committed teacher to join our thriving English department. Teaching English to all abilities across KS3 and KS4, you will have the chance to make a real difference to the lives of our students.

The English department has an effective and aspirational curriculum, which is continually being developed. A clearly considered assessment system is embedded at both KS3 and KS4, enabling the tracking of student progress, aiding responsive teaching and supporting staff wellbeing. We are fortunate to have a suite of English classrooms equipped with interactive whiteboards and state of the art visualisers; at the end of the English corridor is a modern library which houses fortnightly KS3 lessons delivered by English teachers alongside the Library and Reading Coordinator. The English team consists of 13 members of staff ranging from Deputy Head to ECT, and is led by an experienced, research-focused Head of English and supported by further TLRs in the department.

The successful candidate will be supported and developed by regular CPD, a friendly, collegiate department, and collaboration with colleagues from across Chorus Trust.
