We are seeking to appoint a qualified and dedicated Teacher of English and Drama to join our established English faculty and to contribute towards our newly established Drama curriculum in Key Stages 3 & 4. We are an ambitious and growing school and seek colleagues with passion and determination to inspire children’s love of learning and secure the best outcomes for them.
You will play a pivotal role in supporting and enhancing the quality of teaching and learning across Key Stages 3, 4 and 5.
