About this Role

We are seeking to appoint a dedicated Teacher of English to cover a maternity leave. This is a part-time (0.8), fixed-term position that offers the perfect platform to immerse yourself in a school known for its high standards, stability and incredibly welcoming atmosphere.

Whether you are an Early Career Teacher (ECT) looking for a nurturing start or an experienced practitioner seeking a change of scenery with a focus on work-life balance, we want to hear from you. The school was inspected in 2025 and remains ‘Good’ following a Section 8 Ofsted Inspection. Outcomes are also strong at our school. We consider many aspects of our provision to be excellent and we are now working to secure even further improvements at the school.

Standards of behaviour are very good and the community is generally very supportive. As a new member of staff, you will find the school to be an extremely welcoming and rewarding environment to teach in.

Maternity covers require someone who can hit the ground running while building instant rapport. We need a teacher who has a warm personality and a genuine interest in people, allowing you to build excellent relationships with students and staff from day one. You will possess a great sense of humour and a love for English Literature and Language that keeps students engaged. Crucially, you will be a team player.

You will be stepping into a very stable and experienced department. The English team pride themselves on being highly committed and always strive to engage students with stimulating, challenging lessons. You will be part of a collaborative engine where resources are shared and professional development is a priority.
