What skills and experience we're looking for

Could you inspire a love of English in a school where relationships matter and every student is known?

We are seeking an enthusiastic Teacher of English to join our welcoming school community. You will teach across Key Stages 3 and 4, helping students develop confidence as readers, writers and speakers, alongside the knowledge and skills they need to succeed.

Visits to the school and informal conversations about the role are warmly welcomed.
