About this Role

An exciting opportunity has arisen within our Academy for an enthusiastic and inspirational Teacher of English with responsibility for Key Stage 3 to help support Head of English driving improvement and outcomes. The successful candidate will have the ability to inspire learners to achieve excellent results. Our friendly, thriving, and supportive team believe in working collaboratively, sharing ideas and supporting each other to achieve great things as we further develop innovative teaching and learning strategies. As a qualified teacher, you will have the experience and the ability to teach across the ability range for KS3 and KS4. A real interest in developing teaching and learning is also important. Ninestiles has recently been rated as “good” by Ofsted and is a school that continues to improve. This is an exciting opportunity to be a part of that journey.

About our Academy

Ninestiles, an Academy, is proud to be recognised as the TES Inclusive School of the Year 2025, celebrating our commitment to creating a welcoming, diverse, and high-achieving environment for all learners.

Following our most recent Ofsted inspection in November 2024, we were praised for taking effective action to maintain the high standards previously identified, reaffirming our status as a ‘Good’ school. Inspectors highlighted that our learners thrive both socially and academically, showing genuine respect for others’ differences—a reflection of our inclusive ethos and high aspirations.

Our pastoral care is a cornerstone of our success, with highly effective support systems and a staff team that holds consistently high expectations for every learner. At Ninestiles, we focus on securing strong academic outcomes and on preparing learners to become active, responsible citizens.

Our curriculum is thoughtfully designed by our collaborative leadership team and colleagues across Summit Learning Trust to offer breadth and balance. Learners benefit from a wide range of subjects at Key Stage 3, laying the foundation for informed choices at Key Stage 4, where options are tailored to their interests and abilities.

Beyond the classroom, our vibrant enrichment programme is a real strength of the school. With over 70 clubs and activities—including sport, music, art, drama, and debating—students are encouraged to explore their passions and develop new skills.
