There are moments of quiet reading, yes — but more often there is discussion, questioning, disagreement, refinement. Students are taught that words matter, that structure matters, and that clarity of thought comes before confidence of delivery.

This school is seeking a Secondary English Teacher who understands that strong literacy is built through deliberate practice, well‑modelled responses, and consistent feedback.

What Teaching English Looks Like Here

English teaching is not rushed. Lessons are carefully planned and intentionally paced. Reading is explicit. Writing is scaffolded before independence is expected.

You will teach KS3 and KS4, guiding students through:

Close reading and text interpretation
Vocabulary development and language choices
Clear paragraphing and extended responses
Exam‑ready structures without formulaic teaching
