A well-established 11–18 secondary school in Sheffield is seeking a passionate and dedicated Teacher of English to join its forward-thinking English faculty. Serving a diverse and aspirational community, the school has built a strong local reputation for academic progress, excellent behaviour systems and a structured, knowledge-rich curriculum. This is an opportunity to join a department that genuinely values literature, language and the transformative power of reading. The Role You will teach English across Key Stages 3 and 4, with the opportunity to contribute to A-Level depending on experience. The English curriculum is carefully sequenced, balancing canonical texts with contemporary and diverse voices. Retrieval practice, explicit vocabulary instruction and extended analytical writing form the backbone of classroom delivery. The department works collaboratively on planning, assessment and moderation, ensuring consistency without removing teacher creativity. Schemes of learning are well developed, allowing you to focus on delivery, feedback and high-impact teaching rather than constant reinvention. Beyond the classroom, you will have the opportunity to contribute to enrichment — including reading clubs, debating competitions, theatre visits and creative writing workshops. The School Located in a well-connected area of Sheffield, the school occupies a modernised campus with a dedicated English corridor, library and literacy intervention space. Behaviour systems are clear and consistently applied, allowing lessons to remain calm and purposeful. Leadership is visible and pragmatic, with a clear focus on staff wellbeing and professional trust. CPD is structured and subject-focused, including instructional coaching and departmental development sessions. The school serves a mixed intake and prides itself on inclusivity, ambition and a strong sense of community. Staff retention is good, and many teachers describe the culture as supportive and collegiate.
