What skills and experience we're looking for

We are looking to recruit a teacher of English who shows genuine passion and enthusiasm for the subject.

At KS4 and KS5, students study AQA English Literature and English Language. The successful candidate will ideally be experienced in teaching up to A-level; however, this post is also suitable for new entrants to the profession. Please see our website for details of our curriculum.
