What skills and experience we're looking for

We are seeking to appoint an inspirational and talented teacher of English to join our vibrant and successful department, with the possibility that a TLR might be available for a suitably experienced candidate.

This post would be suitable for an ECT, or experienced teacher. Potential candidates may also wish to know that our admissions policy enables the school to prioritise the admission of children of staff recruited to posts in which there is a demonstrable skill shortage.

If you have a very good knowledge and understanding of the subject and you are an excellent teacher looking to develop your career in a supportive and progressive environment, we would welcome an application from you. Opportunities for personal development are excellent.

What the school offers its staff

Our school has an excellent reputation at local and national level. The last inspection by Ofsted in 2024 judged us to be outstanding in all areas. This was our fifth outstanding report and, whilst we are very proud of this achievement, we are in no way complacent. In addition to excellence in terms of academic outcomes, our purpose is to provide a supportive, stimulating and secure environment in which young people can thrive. As such, we seek to employ inspirational and energetic staff, committed to the school’s ethos. In return, we aim to provide opportunities for continuing professional growth and development for all staff, beginning with a well-established induction.

Further information about the job

The candidate will be required to undergo a full enhanced DBS check and must be eligible to work in the UK.

Visas cannot be sponsored.
