“Once you learn to read you will be free forever.” - Fredrick Douglass
Laurus Ryecroft are currently looking for a dedicated Teacher of English who can contribute to our commitment to providing exceptional teaching and learning experiences. We are searching for an individual who possesses a genuine enthusiasm for teaching English, both within the classroom and beyond. This post is suitable for both experienced teachers or newly qualified teachers.
Our curriculum will endeavour to provide pupils with powerful knowledge, which can too often be hidden from view. In doing so, our aim is to provide students with the knowledge to make the implicit, explicit. The powerful knowledge curriculum in English will be deliberately and coherently sequenced to take the shape of a chronological narrative; a narrative that aims to support pupils in making sense of both the literary canon and texts from across a rich, cultural spectrum of literature.
In particular, pupils will be tasked with exploring the timeless and universal threads that run through and connect written texts, regardless of their place in history or their place of origin. The sequence of the curriculum also endeavours to ensure that the knowledge taught is rich; in that, it is taught to be remembered by our pupils, not merely encountered. Our curriculum also aims to prepare every pupil for the demands of both the wider curriculum and the wider world through a conscious and explicit teaching of both tier 2 and tier 3 vocabulary.
This deliberate teaching of vocabulary goes beyond simply defining the meaning of a word but encourages pupils to fully explore the language. Through an exploration of word origin, change and usage, pupils will develop a vocabulary that is not only broad but rich in depth. In doing this, we hope to provide our pupils with the academic code, which leads to success educationally and beyond.
