TEACHER OF ENGLISH

We are a vibrant, forward-thinking school that places significant value on professional learning and career development. We are seeking an inspirational, highly motivated and innovative English Teacher to join our welcoming English Department. The successful candidate will demonstrate strong subject knowledge and a desire to build strong relationships within the team and across the school.

The English curriculum is of core importance to our students’ journeys, with students studying a range of canonical and diverse texts throughout their studies. Our key stage 3 curriculum has been designed to ensure that students have the necessary breadth and depth of skills to be successful in their GCSE studies. We have a flourishing A level cohort, teaching both English language and English literature. Our department is friendly, collaborative and dedicated to being the best we can be, utilising examiner experience and professional development opportunities to ensure we continue to secure excellent progress for our students.  We place significant emphasis on working collegiately as a faculty to share our expertise and subsequently enhance the learning experience with our students. Every member of the staff is involved in a variety of professional learning programmes that take place across the academic year.

Kingsthorpe College is an oversubscribed 11-18 Academy with approximately 1400 students on roll (200 students Post-16).  We were graded by Ofsted as Good in all areas in December 2019, and we are now looking forward to the next stage of our journey from good to great.  In September 2021, we joined Orbis Education Trust, and this has unlocked further possibilities for colleagues to develop, progress, and make a significant contribution to inspiring the students within our schools.  We therefore believe it is an exciting time to join #TeamKC and be part of a community, which is resolute in its drive to help our students leave with the confidence and skills to be able to take part in the great conversations of our times. Kingsthorpe is on a journey to world-class status. Please look at our website https://www.kingsthorpecollege.org.uk  for a comprehensive view of our school.
