Lancaster Girls’ Grammar School is recruiting a Teacher of English to start September 2025.
Lancaster Girls’ Grammar School is a forward-looking, selective state school with academy status and an outstanding record of promoting academic excellence. Our curriculum is broad, and we provide a wide range of enrichment and wellbeing opportunities, and we are proud of our inclusive community. There are currently just over 1,000 students on roll across years 7 to 13. The admission policy prioritises girls from the Lancaster District, but students do travel to us from across Lancashire and Cumbria.

* High expectations of what can be achieved.
* A clear vision of what makes a successful Teacher.
* A commitment to improving outcomes for all students.
* A commitment to raising achievement and the quality of learning for all students.
* The ability to relate well to children and young people.
* The ability to teach to GCSE and A-level; another specialism would be welcome.
We are looking for candidates who will:
* Complement our team with their enthusiastic and positive attitude.
* Be able to multitask and prioritise workload effectively.
* Be innovative and use initiative.
* Have drive and enthusiasm, with a desire to explore, develop and evaluate new ideas.
* Have a sense of humour, caring nature and build strong relationships with everyone.
* Thrive in a busy school environment.
