There is an additional TLR opportunity for the right candidate, negotiable based on the experience of the successful candidate.
We are looking for an enthusiastic and confident teacher, who is focused on student progress, and who can inspire a passion for English across key stages of mixed ability students. You will have a thorough understanding of current curricula as well as strong classroom management and differentiation skills, and the ability to bring your enthusiasm and confidence to the classroom.
You will come to a school full of creative and intelligent students. You will find a capable and experienced team that support children's learning and who are very proud that OFSTED rates our pastoral care as a strength of our schools. We have one non-negotiable: you must be passionate about the care, happiness and learning of the children you'll work with. It is also vitally important that you bring a sense of humour.
We value our staff and believe in them. We offer you CPD, training and support to develop, along with a friendly and supportive team of colleagues to work with.
Our core rule is simple: you must care about our students. They are at the heart of everything we do, and we are united in our mission to provide them with the best possible educational experience.
