We are seeking to appoint a talented English teacher who has excellent subject knowledge and a strong classroom presence. You will be passionate about teaching, be ambitious for our students and will support our inclusive ethos. You will be well organised, energetic and willing to go the ‘extra mile’. The successful candidate will be joining a supportive and hardworking team which encourages all students, irrespective of their academic ability, to strive for excellence. This post would be ideal for a suitably qualified and ambitious Early Career Teacher, who will benefit from a full induction programme.
At Key Stage 3, students follow a Mastery Curriculum that is well sequenced and introduces them systematically to the wonders of grammar, vocabulary and reading for pleasure, alongside the traditional literature teaching that we all know and love. At Key Stage 4, we deliver AQA English Language and Literature specifications in preparation for students’ final exams at the end of Year 11. At Key Stage 5, we offer A2 English Language and Literature (AQA), which brings together literary and non-literary discourses, and A2 Media Studies (Eduquas) which enables students to study media products holistically in relation to all areas of the theoretical framework.
In our most recent Ofsted inspection, in October 2021, we maintained our status as a ‘good’ school. We offer a friendly, supportive working environment, which values talented, committed staff and offers excellent professional development opportunities. We are highly committed to managing teacher workload and offer a fortnightly home-based PPA session to all teaching staff.
Hilbre High School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people, and expects all staff to share this commitment. This post is subject to a satisfactory Enhanced DBS Disclosure.
