Job Overview
Hall Grove School seeks to appoint a full-time inspirational teacher as Head of Senior English to start in January 2026 in this leading co-educational day and boarding prep school. It is an exciting time as we open a new senior school, with the first Year 9 pupils starting in September 2025 and sitting GCSEs in May 2027, so it is a wonderful opportunity for the right candidate to lead the English department through an exciting phase of development.
The successful candidate will bring their passion and energy for the subject to the classroom, engage and enthuse pupils of all abilities, and inspire the department through their confident and collegiate style. They will lead the senior English department from Years 5 to 9 and then up to GCSE as the senior school expands, and work closely with the Head of Junior English, the Deputy Head Academic and the Head of Academic Support & Enrichment to develop the teaching of English across the school for children of all abilities. They will take responsibility for the Declamations competition and will provide scholarship extension lessons for scholarship candidates. They may be required to teach other subjects, according to experience and need, and to be a Form Teacher and/or Academic Tutor.
Hall Grove is a family-owned school with a family ethos at its heart. Our school values are the foundation of everything we do. We encourage children to ‘have a go’ and challenge themselves, and to explore the full curriculum to find out the things they love in life, and what they can achieve. Our record of success is high and every year our children achieve academic, music and co-curricular scholarships to many of the best schools in the country.
