About You

Shaftesbury High School is looking to appoint a Teacher of English as soon as possible.

Shaftesbury High School follows a Secondary timetable model; we are looking to recruit a teacher of English to work from Year 7 to Sixth Form. We are recruiting a teacher of English who will:

• provide learning that will make a lasting change to our students.
• Actively engage with students as learners and promote their engagement in learning.
• Promote a lifelong love of reading.
• Prepare students to gain recognised qualifications e.g. AQA Certificates and Functional Skills examinations.
• Actively value planning and leading enrichment trips locally and further afield.
  
  

Our English curriculum is ambitious and engaging, with students performing well in examinations. Our English curriculum has a real purpose in preparing our students for employability and life. Our curriculum offers students to build their functional skills. We want our students to be able to access future opportunities and participate fully in the school community and the wider community out of school.

At Shaftesbury we recognise that academic success for our students is a combination of high quality teaching, a well-designed curriculum, and meeting the student’s pastoral needs.

Becoming part of the Shaftesbury team is a fantastic opportunity for a teacher of English who wants to work in a culture that has high expectations for students with SEND.

Understanding the importance of work/ life balance and wellbeing is at the heart of our leadership and our learning.

We view professional development as an important part of ensuring our students have the best possible academic and personal experiences whilst at Shaftesbury.

Our students deserve the best the teaching profession has to offer. I look forward to hearing from you.
