What skills and experience we're looking for

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.

It is an exciting time to be at Carterton Community College – we are a good school and pride ourselves on embodying our values. In our recent Ofsted report inspectors found that our students make good progress and behave well, in a school where relationships matter and there is a strong focus on learning. They enjoy their lessons and fully invest in the school and happily rise to the challenge of our high aspirations.

- Ability to implement strategies to meet school development targets.

- Outstanding teaching and learning practice, with dedication and enthusiasm for English and Drama.
