English Teacher

As a result of a promotion we

have a position for a English Teacher to join us from September 2026. Whilst we

appreciate the closing date is fast approaching we welcome potential candidates

to visit the school to find out more before the interview date (22nd May). We

encourage applications from teachers at all stages of their career. We are looking for an

exceptional teacher and subject specialist to join our fantastic English

department at Torquay Academy. Our English department has proven itself to

be one of the most effective and successful comprehensive departments in the

South West. Alongside the strength of our

classroom practitioners, underpinning these successful results is a well

developed academic curriculum which our teachers are highly invested in and are

passionate about delivering. A collaborative approach to centralised planning

has meant that our teachers have the best of both worlds - the ability to shape

and develop a curriculum they believe in and outstanding resources they can

shape to suit their individual classes. We believe that all children,

regardless of background and past school experience, are capable of

understanding and learning the top-grade concepts, ideas, and theories needed

to transform them into capable and knowledgeable critics and readers. In our department, you will

be supported in your development both as a teacher and as a subject specialist. You will be responsible for

the expert delivery of a carefully sequenced and constructed curriculum and, because resources are

centrally produced, given the time and space to become a master of your craft

and your subject. We believe students of all

backgrounds achieve most highly when the knowledge and concepts required to succeed are made explicit to

them, and revisited throughout their journey across the key stages. We believe that strong and well

structured modelling of analysis and critical vocabulary enables independence

and have been excited by the

number of students who choose to go on to study our subjects at A Level and beyond. If you would like to

work in a department which transforms the life chances of the children of Torbay, and would be equally

committed to this end, then we would love to hear from you.
