We are looking for someone who is eager to join our enthusiastic team as we aim to build on our foundations and strive for further success.

English classes are taught in mixed ability groups at both Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4. We currently have eight GCSE groups of about 24-25 students.

We pride ourselves on our comprehensive book stock, as we celebrate Literature and use it as a springboard to access all the diverse areas of the English curriculum. In addition, we always aim to provide our students with enrichment activities such as opportunities for Public Speaking and creative writing competitions, as well as supporting the House system in drama, debating and the Spelling Bee. Our constant aim is to underline the importance of English, and develop its significance within the school.

We take great pride in providing our students with a first class education and instilling them with a love of learning.

We would like to appoint an outstanding Temporary Teacher of English. The department is always looking at ways of developing its curriculum and widening the experience for students so expert subject knowledge and a passion to lead extra-curricular activities in English are highly desirable.
