We are looking for an inspiring and committed Head of English to lead our dynamic department at Alvaston Moor Academy. The ideal candidate will be passionate about literature and language, dedicated to fostering a love for reading and writing, and driven to help students develop strong communication and analytical skills.
As a key leader, you will deliver high-quality, engaging lessons that ignite curiosity and creativity while ensuring every student is empowered to reach their full potential. With a focus on excellence in teaching and learning, you will guide and support your team in delivering an outstanding English curriculum that nurtures confidence, critical thinking, and a lifelong appreciation for language.
If you are an ambitious and motivated educator ready to make a meaningful impact, we would love to hear from you.
About the Role
We’re looking for professionals who are ambitious but humble, innovative but research-led, and warm and compassionate, with unapologetically high standards, to join us on our mission to take Alvaston Moor Academy in Derby from its current position to become one of the very best schools in the country.
Community Context
In a community where almost 70% of pupils qualify for pupil premium funding, for more than a generation the school has struggled to consistently be the great school it can be, and that its young people, their parents and the community of Alvaston are entitled to.
In the last decade the school has seen periods of real improvement, but progress has often not survived changes in leadership, and positive changes have proved short-lived.
In 2021 Alvaston Moor began its latest journey of improvement as part of Archway Learning Trust. Once again improvement has come – recently recognised by Ofsted – but this time there is no alternative to ensuring that it is sustainable. And more than this, that the school finally delivers on its potential, demonstrates to its community, the city of Derby and the whole world that our children have as much potential as children anywhere.
