The Governors of this Roman Catholic Girls’ School wish to appoint a well-qualified and enthusiastic Teacher of English to join an outstanding department, to teach all key stages.
We are a dynamic and highly successful department that consistently achieves outstanding results with pupils from a range of starting points. We have transformed our curriculum in recent years, and we continually develop materials and synthesise new approaches to teaching and learning. At every key stage pupils study an array of challenging texts and critical materials ranging from the origins of tragedy, through the Romantics and Mary Shelley, to contemporary non-fiction. At A Level, students study classic texts such as ‘Hamlet’ and ‘Paradise Lost’ alongside a modern postcolonial coursework unit. Each unit and assessment point has been carefully planned and sequenced for progress, where vocabulary lists, knowledge trackers and diagnostic questions are used to maximise learning. Homework is planned in advance, and offers pupils a range of creative, research and consolidation tasks. KS3 pupils also enjoy a fortnightly lesson in a well-stocked Library where they participate in the Accelerated Reader programme. The friendly, collegiate and supportive atmosphere contributes to a hardworking and harmonious department.
Informal visits are welcomed by prior appointment with the Headteacher.
