We wish to appoint an exceptional Teacher of English. This is a unique opportunity to join a successful split-site academy as part of a well-established and collaborative English department.  

The post is open to teachers of all levels of experience, and we welcome applications from ECTs. The ability to offer KS5 English is desirable, but not essential. 

The successful candidate will have an enthusiasm to motivate students to outstanding outcomes.

Our academy operates across two sites. The Lower Academy specialises in the teaching of our Key Stage 3 students, whilst The Upper Academy specialises in teaching Key Stage 4 and 5. This post will initially be based at the academy that best suits the skills of the candidate and the needs of our students.

We pride ourselves on being a truly inclusive academy and this is actively underpinned by our motto ‘Aspire, Believe, Achieve’.

We are looking for colleagues who share the drive and passion necessary to ensure every student achieves their potential.

The Academies provide staff with the most appropriate and effective support to ensure that their professional development needs are fully met and that there is a high level of challenge in the opportunities they are offered.  We have a weekly CPD programme for all and a very strong record of developing staff.  We have an excellent track record of providing promotion and responsibility opportunities to staff that aspire to leadership.

Staff, including those new to teaching, feel valued. Leaders have shown consideration for staff well-being. Ofsted 2019
