You will be responsible for delivering high-quality English lessons across Key Stages 3, 4, and 5, ensuring learners develop a love for reading, writing, and analytical thinking. From guiding Year 7 through their first taste of Dickens to helping Year 11 craft the perfect response to unseen poetry, your impact will be lasting and profound.

What Can We Offer You?

• A passionate and collaborative English faculty dedicated to academic excellence.
• A well-structured Mastery curriculum, based on AQA specifications for GCSE and A-Level, ensuring learners engage with a wide range of classic and contemporary texts.
• Engaged learners who love a good debate, whether it’s over the tragic fate of Romeo or the relevance of dystopian fiction today.
• Excellent resources, including interactive smart TVs, a well-stocked library, and a strong digital learning platform.
• A strong focus on CPD and career progression, supporting you to develop as a teacher and leader.
• The opportunity to inspire learners beyond the classroom through extracurricular activities such as creative writing clubs, theatre trips, public speaking competitions, and school productions.

About the English Faculty

• KS3: Learners explore a broad and engaging curriculum, developing essential reading, writing, and spoken language skills. Expect classic literature, diverse modern texts, and lively discussions.
• GCSE: Following the AQA English Language and English Literature specifications, learners study a diverse range of fiction and non-fiction texts, including Shakespeare, 19th-century literature, modern drama, and poetry.
• A-Level: Our AQA English Literature and English Language courses challenge learners to deepen their analytical skills, engage with complex texts, and refine their own writing styles.

What You Can Offer Us

• Motivate and inspire learners of all abilities to develop a love for English.
• Deliver engaging and thought-provoking lessons that spark curiosity and discussion.
• Bring innovative teaching strategies to the classroom, making English accessible and exciting.
• Support learners in achieving outstanding progress, whether they dream of becoming the next J.K. Rowling or just need to conquer the analysis of an unseen poem.
• Work collaboratively with colleagues to enhance the curriculum and extracurricular opportunities.
• Participate in activities beyond the classroom when appropriate.
