Teacher of English

This role is to secure and account for effective learning, appropriate achievement and educational, social and personal progress of all students in the assigned areas of responsibility, consistent with the aims of the school and the unique needs of each individual learner.

The English department aims to inspire students to be intellectual,curious and instinctive readers, writers and speakers who are empowered to be confident and independent through their encounters with a rich range of texts from different times and periods. We want our students to have the confidence to use their words to explain, describe and articulate their beliefs, knowledge and experiences and to understand the power of their own voices. It is our desire that our students will develop empathy,understanding and appreciation of their own culture, identity and literary heritage, as well as those of others.

Our school ambition focuses on developing a culture whereby all students can achieve highly and will be supported whatever their background or ability. This relies on providing learning and teaching of the highest possible quality to engage, enthuse and motivate. At TGS we do not limit our definition of achievement simply to traditionally academic pursuits.

As part of the STAR Multi-Academy Trust, TGS provides a high-quality learning community that inspires and motivates its employees as well as its students. Thus we are seeking a candidate who wants to make a positive difference to the lives of young people and has a commitment to lifelong learning in order to be an outstanding member of our team. We support colleagues who are ambitious for their own professional development, have a ‘can do’ attitude, are creative problem solvers and work collaboratively.

We offer a range of extensive opportunities, incentives and benefits to staff including:

• Access to STAR MAT’s employee benefits website with discounts on retailers, holidays, days out and so much more…
• Access to our Employee Assistance helpline for a range of free and confidential advice with a range of support materials available
• Continuous training and development opportunities

The STAR Multi Academy Trust prides itself on the work that it does supporting young people and welcomes all applications. Visit the website here for access to our recruitment policies. 

The STARMAT is committed to equality, and to making fair and equitable treatment an integral part of everything we do. The Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff to share this commitment. The post is subject to a successful DBS check and pre-employment checks will be undertaken before an appointment is confirmed.

At STAR we believe that diversity and inclusion are integral to our success. We are committed to creating a workplace where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered to achieve their full potential.

We actively seek to recruit, develop, and retain the most talented individuals from a wide range of backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences. We celebrate the unique contributions of each team member and are dedicated to fostering a culture of equality, where differences are not only embraced but are seen as a source of strength.

Our commitment to diversity and inclusion is reflected in our policies, practices, and the way we do business. We strive to ensure that our recruitment processes are fair, unbiased, and inclusive, and we are continuously working to improve them.

We understand that diversity drives innovation and creativity, and we are dedicated to building a diverse team that reflects the communities we serve.
