We are seeking to appoint a qualified English Teacher to work in our well-established Secondary department. 

The successful applicant will be a dynamic teacher with experience of enabling pupils to achieve their potential. We are looking for the right balance between experience, enthusiasm and a passion for teaching that will inspire our pupils.

The secondary department covers the age range 11-18 and incorporates the curricula for Key Stage 3, IGCSE and IB Diploma. Familiarity with the British education system is therefore a prerequisite. Experience of IB teaching is preferred, but not required.

English teachers work across the whole secondary department and play an important role in monitoring pupil development. They keep careful track of pupils’ progress and maintain regular dialogue with parents.

In Middle School, pupils follow a broad curriculum in English which covers the full breadth of knowledge and skills encapsulated in the National Curriculum. In Upper School, pupils work towards IGCSE qualifications in English Language and English Literature. English is a popular option as a first language within the IB Diploma, where we offer ‘Language and Literature’.

Familiarity with the British education system is a prerequisite. Experience of teaching the IB Diploma is highly desirable.
