Teacher of English (MPS/UPS)

This is an excitong opportunity to contribute to a highly talented and committed team. The department has a great sense of collaboration and are fully committed to ensuring all students develop a love of English and achieve the highest possible standards. We have a disruptoon free approach to behaviour, leaders are highly visible and supportive so that teachers can teach highly effective lessons. Reading and oracy are key ingredients to students’ holistic growth and are embedded within our whole school development plan. Accelerated Reader in KS3, Register and Read in KS4 and a reading culture in the Sixth Form are all examples of this ethos in action. The Media & Film Department sits alongside the English Department and many staff contribute to a range of subjects where expertise and interest is shown. Kesgrave High School is a large 11- 19 school which has over 1850 students on roll including over 320 students in the Sixth Form. In 2025 the performance of the whole school was strong with 71% of pupils achieving a Grade 4 or higher in both English and Mathematics and 52% 5+. Applications would be welcome from talented teachers at all levels of experience, including ECTs. Staff benefit from excellent conditions of service and we are committed to personalised CPD and career opportunities both within our school and the Trust.
