This is permanent position but due to the current circumstances and the fact that we are unable to meet the requirements of our recruitment policy, this role is being offered as a 12 month fixed term contract in the first instance. Commencing September 2020 (January start may be possible)
Due to an increased number of students on roll we are expanding the number of teaching groups for certain subjects which will also allow us to provide effective catch up for our students.

It is a vibrant Faculty that has a previous affiliation with the RSC as a hub school, ties with the Alhambra theatre in Bradford, and continues to actively support our growing SCITT programme to train and develop new teachers of English. Our Sixth Form is a vibrant learning community with 300+ students studying Level 3 courses with us.
Applications are welcome from both NQTs and more experienced colleagues. We offer an excellent NQT support programme with a bespoke schedule of training and mentors.
The role and responsibilities include:
• Provision of high quality teaching of English at Key Stage 3 and 4 and (depending on the candidate’s experience) Key Stage 5

We can offer you:
• The opportunity to work within a collaborative team of staff who are committed to enhancing the quality of teaching and learning of English
