We are looking for an energetic and passionate teacher to join our English Department on a temporary basis to cover maternity leave from February 2025.
You would be expected to teach English to KS3 and KS4 as a minimum and as such previous experience of teaching GCSE English is essential.
Huntington is an 11-18 co-educational comprehensive school with a Sixth Form taking our total student numbers to approximately 1516, which includes over 300 students in the Sixth Form. Our students achieve excellent results, year-in, year-out, both at GCSE and A-level.

Leaders have made a conscious decision that the pupils who come to Huntington receive a well-rounded education that enables them to explore subjects in great depth over extended periods. As a result, the pupils thrive.” - Ofsted Nov 2023
Our examination results for English were excellent last year with a contributing factor being our committed and outstanding team of English Teachers. We are very proud of what is on offer to students at Huntington School and during our recent Ofsted Inspection they recognised this in their report, stating that ‘Staff and pupils value reading. Sixth-form pupils support pupils who are in the earlier stages of reading. The texts that pupils engage with are appropriate and interesting. Pupils talk avidly about the characters and storylines created by authors’

An Education Endowment Foundation/Institute for Effective Education
National Research School
We are a designated an EEF/IEE Research School. Huntington plays a crucial role in this DfE initiative and will provide colleagues with great professional development opportunities.
Research Schools aim to lead the way in the use of evidence-based practice. Through the network we share what they know about putting research into practice, and support schools in their region to make better use of evidence to inform their teaching and learning so that they really make a difference in the classroom.
Becoming a Research School is an exciting development that will help us to support teachers and school leaders in our region, and nationally, at a time of turmoil and increasingly challenging curricula and assessment. We see our role as providing support tools and training to better inform school improvement and improve student outcomes.
"The school has a well-thought-out professional development programme for staff, which is supported effectively by the Research School. As a result, staff are experts in their subject areas. The school ensures that staff are supported in their development and learning. Staff apply relevant subject and pedagogical research. This benefits all pupils." - Ofsted Nov 2023
