We are seeking an exceptional Head of Faculty to lead English and Languages provision across the Senior School and through this and other responsibilities, contribute to the strategic development of the Senior School.
The Head of Faculty for English and Languages will have lead responsibility for developing a coherent, effective and inspiring approach to the curricular and co-curricular provision of all languages, as well as our EAL provision; there will also be opportunities to continue to forge close curricular links with the Prep School, supporting the French immersion programme and development of all languages.
The successful applicant will have operational and strategic responsibility for the English Department and will teach English. They will also line manage the Head of Languages. They will be responsible for promoting language provision across the Senior School. While the post has a specific focus on English, it also gives outstanding opportunities for leading change across the whole of the Senior School.
The post holder will be part of the Senior School’s Middle Leadership Team, which meets regularly to discuss academic, pastoral and co-curricular matters pertaining to the Senior School. The Head of Faculty for English and Languages will be accountable to, and meet regularly with, the Vice Principal (Academic) and Director of Studies and, given the seniority of this role, will also meet regularly with the Principal.
The role would be ideal for a current Head of Department looking for their next step in their professional development. This would be an excellent stepping-stone to a Senior Leadership position or a fantastic opportunity to shape a critical part of school life.
