Some English departments spend their time preparing students for exams. The very best ones do that while also creating readers, writers, debaters and confident communicators. We're working with an Outstanding secondary school in Manchester that has built exactly that kind of department, and they're looking to appoint an English Teacher from September 2026. This is the sort of school where classrooms are purposeful, behaviour is strong, and students genuinely engage with what they're learning. The English department enjoys excellent results, but what stands out most is the enthusiasm students bring to lessons and the pride staff take in what they've built together. Why Teachers Like Working Here This is a large 11-18 school with a thriving sixth form and a reputation for getting the best out of both students and staff. Leadership are visible, approachable and realistic. Teachers are trusted to teach, supported when they need it, and given genuine opportunities to develop their careers.
