“Once you learn to read you will be free forever.” - Fredrick Douglass We are looking for an Teacher of English to join our friendly, professional team at Laurus Ryecroft to help drive our ongoing success in delivering excellent teaching and learning outcomes. The curriculum at Laurus Ryecroft endeavours to provide pupils with the powerful knowledge, which can too often be hidden from view. In doing so, our aim is to provide students with the knowledge to make the implicit, explicit. The powerful knowledge curriculum in English will be deliberately and coherently sequenced to take the shape of a chronological narrative; a narrative that aims to support pupils in making sense of both the literary canon and texts from across a rich, cultural spectrum of literature. For further details on the role, including key skills and experience required, please see the Job Description and Person Specification attached below.
