We are seeking to appoint a committed and enthusiastic Second in English.

The Winstanley School is a popular and expanding 11-16 school situated in the heart of the vibrant and engaged Braunstone Town community. The Winstanley School is oversubscribed and was recognised as good by Ofsted in 2023. The school is part of the LiFE Multi-Academy Trust of which Bosworth Academy is the lead institution.
