Teacher of English + R&R

We have an opportunity to grow and develop our English team. We are looking for someone who shares our vision and who will enthuse our students about English, show them the beauty and relevance of it, and build their confidence in English and a sense of agency to use their knowledge and skills in further study or in their lives beyond school.

Northampton School for Girls (NSG) is a state-funded, comprehensive school on the outskirts of Northampton. Our school community is multi-faith and multi-cultural with students coming from rural and urban settings. We continue to be one of the best schools in Northamptonshire, and this is reflected in the high standards and expectations we set for both staff and students.

At NSG, you will have access to an outstanding CPD programme, which will enable you to continue to develop and grow as both an excellent teacher and leader. In return, we expect that you will have strong subject knowledge and the ability to provide high-quality teaching; you will be a like-minded individual who will promote our ethos of respect and inclusion for all.

We seek high-quality applications from a wide spectrum of talented people, acknowledging that diversity in our staffing enriches our NSG community and the learning experience for our students. We are working to create an inclusive culture where people can be themselves and are empowered to do their best.
