Teacher of English

Main Scale Post     (Includes London Fringe)

Charters School is seeking to appoint a Teacher of English to join us in September 2024. This post would suit an ECT or more experienced teacher – we will consider applications for part-time or full-time position.

The successful candidate will be

  • Committed to promoting high-quality teaching of English
  • Inspire students to have a passion for the subject and have high expectations of all students
  • An excellent classroom practitioner with an understanding of high-quality learning and ensure English is a vibrant subject within the school community.
  • Experienced at teaching English to KS3 & KS4 (KS5 desirable)

The School offers a strong tradition of excellent outcomes but also a broad curriculum suited to all students. The school’s behaviour policy is robust, and staff have welcomed the introduction of centralised sanctions and inclusive policies.

The department is very strong and deemed a ‘Beacon’ subject in the School’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023.  The team are dedicated to a cohesive collegiate approach that means that individuals are supported and are able to excel. The academic outcomes are underpinned by a broad curriculum offer and excellent extra-curricular opportunities.  Historically, students have achieved outstanding outcomes at GCSE and A Level. In 2023 90% of students gained a 9-4  grade in English with 30% gaining 9-7 and 73% 9-5. From September 2024, the English Department will be offering Media GCSE to Year 10 students for the first time.

We believe our best resources are our teachers. There is a popular and thriving programme of continuing professional development in the department and across the school, at all levels, and colleagues have the opportunity to develop personally and professionally through our long-standing membership of PiXL.  The school also offers excellent promotion prospects and a comprehensive induction programme. 

Colleagues benefit from a commitment to staff well-being and are provided with several schemes to support them maintain an active and healthy lifestyle. The priority admission of children of successful applicants applies for this subject.
