Teacher of English job summary

“Reading is important. If you know how to read, then the whole world opens up to you.” So said Barack Obama and we say the same.

To really inspire the next generation of confident, successful and resilient learners you need an environment with the right conditions. You need an environment where pupils genuinely want to learn. An environment in which your colleagues are as geeky about your subject as you are. These are the conditions that we can provide for practitioners who join us at Wednesfield Academy. As Ofsted recognised, we have worked together to “develop a highly ambitious and well-sequenced curriculum” (Feb 25).

We want people who are similarly driven. We want people who will not only grow the next generation but people who are also eager to take every opportunity to grow themselves. We offer superb professional development opportunities, including the full suite of NPQs. We have “a well-thought-out professional development programme for staff” (Ofsted Feb 25) and work hard as a team.
