This will be a stimulating and rewarding post for an enthusiastic teacher to join a team of nine teachers.

Teachers regularly share ideas and work collaboratively to develop and improve these schemes of work and lessons to ensure high standards of teaching and learning.

They will be required to teach English across key stages 3 and 4 and the ability range. There is also the possibility of KS5 teaching for suitably qualified candidates.
