Teacher of English job summary
This role is to secure and account for effective learning, appropriate achievement and educational, social and personal progress of all students in the assigned areas of responsibility, consistent with the aims of the school and the unique needs of each individual learner.
The English department aims to inspire students to be intellectual,curious and instinctive readers, writers and speakers who are empowered to be confident and independent through their encounters with a rich range of texts from different times and periods. We want our students to have the confidence to use their words to explain, describe and articulate their beliefs, knowledge and experiences and to understand the power of their own voices. It is our desire that our students will develop empathy,understanding and appreciation of their own culture, identity and literary heritage, as well as those of others.
Our school ambition focuses on developing a culture whereby all students can achieve highly and will be supported whatever their background or ability. This relies on providing learning and teaching of the highest possible quality to engage, enthuse and motivate. At TGS we do not limit our definition of achievement simply to traditionally academic pursuits.
As part of the STAR Multi-Academy Trust, TGS provides a high-quality learning community that inspires and motivates its employees as well as its students. Thus we are seeking a candidate who wants to make a positive difference to the lives of young people and has a commitment to lifelong learning in order to be an outstanding member of our team.

- Access to STAR MAT’s employee benefits website with discounts on retailers, holidays, days out and so much more…
- Access to our Employee Assistance helpline for a range of free and confidential advice with a range of support materials available
- Continuous training and development opportunities
