Teacher of English

Thank you for expressing an interest in applying for the post of Teacher of English. (Part time 0.5 FTE.) At Tadcaster Grammar School [TGS] we put the needs of students at the forefront of our decision making and practice. Our curricular and co-curricular offer responds to the aims and aspirations of individuals and we structure this as a 7-year experience. The school is fortunate to have a highly committed and talented staff and governing body and our students are motivated, articulate and keen to learn. TGS is a larger than average school, but we organise our pastoral systems so everyone is seen, heard and valued. Several features of the school are likely to be of note to you if you visit. The first is the very open and welcoming nature of the school from both the staff and students. The second, the sheer variety of activities which are offered both within the curriculum and after school hours. TGS is a school with a strong reputation for looking after its students and where high standards of conduct are non-negotiable. English is a vibrant and highly successful part of the curriculum at TGS. Students tell us that they enjoy their learning and achieve highly. As such, we wish to recruit someone who will contribute something really special to our team. We are looking for a proven and skilled classroom practitioner who can inspire, enthuse and add value. If you feel you are ready for the challenge and would like to know more about the school and its activities please take a look at our website.
