A great covering letter for an English Head of Faculty/Department position. It has many of the key areas that leadership is looking for. You will just need to chop and change some of the details, but it will provide you with a solid foundation and starting point.

A really useful tool that outlines the types of tasks that students can do when working creatively and/or independently. This can be used in any subject or linked to any unit of study. It is great to use for metacognitive learning and setting up units of independent learning, especially useful for pupils that struggle to know what to do.

A sheet designed to be used by pupils after a piece of workwork. It allows students to think about the processes that they undertook and how & why their practice could/should be improved in the future. It ties well in to metacognitive thinking in that it allows learners to address the entire learning experience and not simply knowledge. This should help promote even more effective learners at a departmental & whole school level.

A simple, but highly effective lesson providing pupils with the skills of how not to copy work out. This has proved really important in promoting independent learning. Includes marking sheets to simply print off to save time. Students get an understanding of key the critical nature of having to understand key vocabulary, in order to re-phrase things.
