About the Role
We are looking to appoint an exceptional candidate to the post of Teacher of English for our new and expanding 4-19 free school. Teachers in the early stage of their career would benefit from the wealth of experience and talent amongst the teachers in English, which is one of the outstanding departments of our school. This is a temporary position initially running from April to July 2017, but there is strong potential for this to become a permanent position from September 2017 for a highly suitable candidate.
Our ‘Outstanding’ Ofsted judgement (June 2015) was only the start of the story. The challenge is to sustain and embed this excellence through every aspect of Gildredge House as it grows to full capacity in 2018/19.
As Teacher of English you will join an outstanding team of inspirational teachers and ensure that our students enjoy and achieve highly in their English learning. You will be an English specialist in the secondary phase. We ideally need a strong GCSE teacher as most of your teaching in this temporary position will be in Years 7 - 10. This is an exciting time to join our Outstanding English Department, with opportunities for professional development in the company of excellent practitioners. If you have the ability to teach your subject to A Level, you may have the opportunity to extend your contract with us and from September 2017 find yourself engaged with talented, hard-working and committed students with a desire to take their learning to the highest level.
Our school motto is ‘Aspire’ and to that end the English department follows the simple view that students who enjoy the subject will engage in it, grow in confidence and will have the opportunity to excel. We believe that children are not empty vessels to be filled with some out-dated wisdom but rather energetic and voracious learners who wish to explore the world through language and ideas. Our focus, therefore, is on providing learning opportunities that give students the chance to study what interests them, to grow in confidence in their use of the relevant skills and, above all, to have the courage to get it wrong: all of which will mean our students are prepared for the world yet to come rather than a world which has long since passed.
Do you want to be part of a school where your contribution is valued and celebrated?
Would you like to teach children with high aspirations who are keen to learn?
Do you want to join a staff team that is diverse, collegiate and respected?
Gildredge House offers:
- continuity of education for boys and girls aged 4-19
- an expectation of high academic standards leading to Sixth Form studies
- small class sizes
- strong discipline
- excellent pastoral care
- an extended school day for older students
- supervised prep
- a broad range of extra-curricular activities
- parent and community involvement
Our school motto: 'Aspire'
Gildredge House is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. All offers of employment with the school are subject to pre-employment checks which will include References, Health, Right to Work in UK, a satisfactory Enhanced DBS with Children’s Barred List check and a Declaration that neither they nor anyone who lives in the same household is a disqualified person under the Childcare (Disqualification) Regulations 2009.
