The newly appointed candidate will be working in a committed, successful, and experienced team that regularly achieves strong academic success. In 2025, our progress measure for English was +0.56, and this level of achievement has been consistent over several years. Recently, we have invested heavily in our IT facilities, with all teachers benefiting from a modern SMART board and a personal laptop.
The English team are passionate practitioners who enhance the curriculum through various extracurricular activities, including theatre visits and welcoming guest authors and speakers onto the site. There is a thriving King's Poetry Society, and we are proud that, in recent years, we have created the post of School Poet Laureate, typically a member of the 6th form who performs their own poetry at school events and encourages younger students to enjoy reading and writing poetry. Reading is a particular focus: we use the Accelerated Reader programme to gauge and track students' reading ability at Key Stage 3, along with regular reading initiatives such as competitions and Shadowing programmes.
This post would suit an early career teacher who would benefit enormously from strong mentoring or an experienced teacher looking to develop their skills in a new setting. The successful candidate will need to be able to teach across all age ranges and abilities. The ability to teach another subject would be desirable but not essential.
