Teacher of English (2nd in Department)

About the Role You will oversee the planning and implementation of schemes of work, enabling students to attain their optimum potential in the subject. As an effective communicator, your collegiate approach will inspire colleagues to work collaboratively towards achieving these outcomes. You should also be keen to play a full and inclusive role in the wider life of our school community and be able to contribute to the development of our school both pastorally and through co-curricular activities. Over the past few years, we have collaborated as a department to create a curriculum that is knowledge-rich, challenging and diverse, with a focus on exposing our students to a variety of traditional and modern literature, whilst also preparing them for the wider world.
