· Subject specific policies focused on what is right for you as a department - we do not have bureaucratic and onerous policies;
· Regular feedback from learning walks and work scrutinies helping you to continuously develop - no formal graded lesson observations!
The successful candidate will be:
· An inspirational teacher of English who will enthuse our students;
· A determined and innovative practitioner with a desire to succeed and to help others do so;
· A team player who is keen to work with others and proactively does whatever it takes to achieve the outcomes that enable our students to make ambitious life choices;
