What skills and experience we're looking for
For September 2025 we wish to appoint a Teacher of English to join a highly successful department. We are looking for a talented classroom practitioner who can be creative, dynamic, can communicate their passion to all students, and teach using a student-centred approach. All classes are mixed ability, so the successful candidate will need to differentiate in order to support and stretch students. We are looking to appoint a teacher who can contribute to GCSE and possibly A Level, a team player who can communicate an enthusiasm and depth of subject knowledge, forming positive relationships with the students they teach. Strong subject knowledge is obviously crucial but a commitment to the school’s philosophy of ‘Achievement for All’, a passion for the subject and a desire to work in an innovative and supportive team are also vital. An ability to contribute to the delivery of Drama would be an advantage, but not essential.
This is an exciting opportunity for someone to join a very experienced and supportive department with a commitment to deliver English. We offer a very strong support programme for teachers who are starting their career and working towards ECT status or returning to teaching after a break.
What the school offers its staff
The King's School is an 11-18 comprehensive school, which takes great pride in the promotion of excellence in teaching and learning, pastoral care and extra-curricular activities. Our core purpose of 'Achievement for All' encourages every student to develop their skills, interests, and talents, not just through academic achievement but also through a rich variety of enrichment opportunities including house competitions, extra-curricular clubs, trips and visits.
