Job overview
Our school is a thriving 11-16 foundation comprehensive which is committed to challenge for all and support when needed.

Our culture celebrates and rewards those high standards.
We require an enthusiastic, highly motivated and inspiring Head of English from September 2018.
Our English department is housed in a newly refurbished suite of nine teaching rooms, each with state of the art learning walls.
