About this role
Teacher of EnglishStart date: September 2026
Salary: Main Pay Scale/Upper Pay Scale (suitable for ECTs)
Costello School is meeting the Expected Standard (green) in Every Area – Ofsted, 2026
Is there a job more important than helping a child find their voice? We don’t think so, and if you have a love of language and literature and a passion for reading we’d love to hear from you. If you’d love to work with a full team of specialists, who share your passion for the written and spoken word, then you’ve just found the job for you. You will join a close knit team that are achieving special things, with GCSE results well above national, and one that is at the forefront of learning in English. Our Ofsted inspection highlighted the exemplary practice in the English department – we’d love you to come and join our high performing team.
We invest heavily in CPD/training and have fantastic links with other schools and professional organisations. New ideas and approaches are welcomed with open arms and coaching is used to unlock potential. We work very closely with our ‘family’ of partner schools and are currently the strategic lead for a unique teaching and learning project. As part of the Bohunt Education Trust, there are plenty of opportunities for support, development and progression.
We have a strong desire to create a unique, innovative and rich educational climate underpinned by co-planning and collaboration between professionals, which has the possibility to lead to additional responsibilities.
If you can:
• Inspire and innovate
• Nurture and develop (yourself as well as others)
• Commit to, and raise further, high achievement and motivation
• Optimise English learning for all
Then come and see us. We are looking for potential as much as experience so we welcome applications from ITTs. Here’s just a few reasons why you’d be mad not to:
· Our greatest strength is our people and we work hard to make sure you know that. Colleague wellbeing is very important to us
