Job description

The English department at Manor CE Academy is a dedicated, creative and highly successful team of subject specialists. The department occupies seven full sized classrooms, all equipped with PCs, projectors and visualisers. We share a workroom, which becomes a place for the team to congregate during breaks, fostering an extremely supportive and friendly atmosphere. All Manor teaching staff engage in research-led staff development to collaboratively improve practice, and within English, our culture of sharing ideas and strategies leads to innovative and dynamic teaching across the year groups.

In Key Stage 3, all students follow a varied English curriculum, balancing different skills, genres and eras, embedding the skills and knowledge to make them successful in their GCSEs and beyond. All students study both Eduqas English Language and AQA English Literature GCSE courses in Years 10 and 11. As a team we are looking to continually deepen our understanding of successful approaches to teaching GCSE and to improve our delivery of content through sharing best practice, not least by drawing on the expertise of examiners within the department. Our curriculum is carefully structured and well-resourced, seeking to foster a love of the subject in all learners. We seek to make good use of online resources and students’ iPads to enhance their learning.

The main focus of the Subject Teacher's role is fostering the learning and progress of the pupils in their care. This involves being an effective teacher of pupils as well as of the subject. Quality of preparation, resourcing, planning, subject expertise, teaching skill, pace, challenge, proactive classroom management, effective marking and assessment, high expectations, and positive personal relationships are all central to providing the conditions within which pupils' personal skills, abilities, understanding, learning and progress can be developed. This role brings the opportunity for potential leadership experience once in post.

For any informal queries, please contact the English Director of Learning, Adam Metcalfe via email at [e-mail].
