Teacher of English

We require a full-time teacher of English, starting in September 2025. You will be a highly qualified graduate with relevant qualifications and/or proven experience, prepared to join an extremely successful, friendly, committed, and experienced team of twelve English specialists. You will come with proven academic credentials, have excellent subject knowledge and be passionate about teaching English over the entire 11-18 age range, including, potentially, Oxbridge preparation and English Extension classes.

We are looking for someone with the ability to inspire the boys, so that learning English is a truly exciting experience for them. We hope that you will bring new ideas to the teaching of English at all levels and will contribute to raising the profile of the subject even further through your co-curricular involvement.

We expect your commitment and ideas to make a significant contribution towards maintaining the school’s status as one of the top academic boys’ schools in the country. We are constantly looking to discover and develop innovative and interesting new teaching methods and resources; a willingness to commit to this is essential. The school is proud of its reputation as a caring and friendly community with a high achieving culture across a broad range of curricular and co-curricular activities. You will be ready to engage fully in the wider life of the school. Expectations of our pupils and staff in terms of attitude and commitment are very high. There is a strong common room culture of going the extra mile to stretch and support, in and beyond the classroom, so that every boy realises his potential.

While we welcome applications from experienced teachers, enthusiasm and ability are just as important, and teachers at any point in their career should consider applying for the position.
