If you are a well-qualified and enthusiastic English Teacher seeking to work in a dynamic and creative school with exceptional academic results, this role offers a fantastic opportunity for you to lead our thriving and experienced team.
The English Department is lively, committed and friendly. All girls take both English and English Literature IGCSE, following the CIE 0500 and 0486 courses respectively. Generally, about a third of the Sixth Form study English at AS and A2 level, and a healthy number go on to read English at university each year, including Oxbridge. Our results in public examinations are excellent: in 2014 93% of students achieved A/A* at IGCSE, and 82% at A-level.
From September 2015, we are excited to be beginning the OCR course in English Literature, and a stand-alone AS in Creative Writing (AQA). It is expected that as Head of English, you will take a lead role in shaping and contributing to the delivery of the Creative Writing course, as well as leading the first teaching of the new A-level in Year 12.
If you are passionate about teaching English and can lead a department we would like to hear from you. In return we offer a salary higher than the maintained sector and a range of benefits including interest-free season ticket and computer loans and reduced BUPA subscription.
