Organisation: Kingstone Academy Trust

Location: Kingstone High School,

Closing Date: 9^th April 2026

Interview Date:  tbc

Required for September 2026

Full Time MPS / UPS

Kingstone High School is looking for a dedicated, inspiring and skilled classroom practitioner to join our English Faculty. This is an outstanding opportunity for a teacher who is eager for a positive and rewarding teaching post.  You will be joining an English Faculty of seven staff within a supportive school staff team committed to promoting enjoyment and high achievement for all of our students. 

We seek a self-motivated classroom practitioner with excellent professional standards, confident with a wide range of teaching and learning styles and with high expectations of achievement and behaviour.  We encourage extra-curricular trips and activities that support the cultural growth of our students.   

In addition to the main teaching role, there is an opportunity for candidates to apply for an additional responsibility as Head of Year (TLR2B), for which a full job description is provided. Applicants who wish to be considered for both the teaching position and the Head of Year role should include a clearly identified additional section within their letter of application outlining their suitability for this responsibility. Candidates shortlisted for both roles will undertake an extended interview process to assess their readiness for the Head of Year position. Applications are warmly welcomed from those who wish to be considered for the teaching role only, without the additional responsibility. 

We welcome applications from both ECTs and experienced colleagues who will be willing to contribute to the continuing development of the faculty (we provide a full mentoring programme for ECTs).   Therefore, if you are an enthusiastic English teacher with an ability to inspire, enthuse and challenge students to succeed at all levels we would like to hear from you.  

In return, we offer:

·         A school with a strong commitment to your professional development

·         A working environment focused on Teaching and Learning and raising standards for all

·         The opportunity to work in a staff team where your skills, enthusiasm and hard work will be appreciated

·         A school where staff wellbeing is a priority
