Teacher of English  
Salary: MPS/UPS (ECTs welcome) 
TLR 2a is available for suitable candidate 
Job type: Full time, permanent 
Start date: 1st September 2025

We are looking for an enthusiastic and proactive English teacher to join our department of thriving practitioners. We firmly believe that to offer the highest standard of teaching and leadership, we must also be prepared to continue learning and adapting as teachers. To that end, we regularly engage with the latest pedagogy and seek to practically apply educational research to our curricula. We are a highly collaborative, supportive, and positive team boasting 18 practitioners including a core team of TLR holders who work with teachers to ensure that the student experience of English is consistent, engaging and that all achieve their potential regardless of ability. We also subscribe to this view in the support and professional development of our team.  

There is a possible TLR2a available for a suitable candidate to lead the Step Up to English and English Functional Skills programmes.   

We have high expectations in every facet of our work at Hinchingbrooke and reap the rewards of this hard work with results that are consistently above national average and high demand for our subject in post-16 options. Alongside our commitment to achieving strong results, we enjoy a strong partnership with Cambridge University as a partner school mentoring PGCE students and we have held the PTI mark for commitment to subject excellence for the last ten years.  

We offer a robust Key Stage 3 curriculum which guides students through the literary canon throughout the two-year curriculum that we offer at this Key Stage. Students begin by examining ancient Greek literature and progress through a variety of genres including Shakespearean comedy, WW1 poetry and media representation in Disney before culminating in an exploration of issues faced in contemporary literature. Students develop a range of reading, writing, and oracy skills throughout this canonical journey. In Year 9, we seek to build on the thematic approach of Key Stage 3 by looking at a range of literary and non-fiction texts thematically whilst introducing KS4 and examination skills. We study literary context in further depth and our chief goal is to ensure students understand the broader context of their GCSE texts and the way that language has been used to cultivate them. By Year 10 and 11, students begin to hone their studies examining our set texts more forensically in preparation for their Literature and Language GCSEs. All our Key Stages include a diverse range of texts and anthologies and ‘Big Reads’ so that students have access to a varied reading diet.  

In our department, we firmly believe that all students should be able to access the curriculum and become equipped for life beyond Hinchingbrooke School. To that end, we also offer additional entry level qualifications comprising of Step Up to English and Functional Skills courses which allow students to earn an entry level qualification before they take their GCSE examinations. 

We warmly welcome applications who are eager to join a warm, supportive and stimulating academic culture.

Teacher of Science

---

Closing date: Monday 10th March (9am)
Start date: September 2025
Contract type: Full Time
Contract term: Permanent
Salary: MPS/UPS

---

We seek to appoint a well-qualified, professional, and versatile Teacher of Science from September 2025. Whilst a Physics or Biology specialism is preferred, our priority is recruiting a great Science Teacher. This vacancy is suited to either an Early Careers Teacher (ECT) or an established teacher looking for a new challenge.

The science department is larger than average with a team of around 25 staff (teaching and support). The Science department is in the top 25% nationally and are on track for continued improvement this year; the challenge is to continue this momentum and build on the foundations already in place. The Science leadership team consists of a Head of Department, 2 Senior Science Leaders and dedicated people leading Biology, Chemistry and Physics.

Science is taught throughout the 11 - 18 age range and at all levels of ability. It is taught in mixed ability groups in Years 7 and 8, with some setting in Years 9 to 11. Triple Science and Combined Science are offered at Key Stage 4 as well as GCSE Astronomy. In the Sixth Form, students can follow courses in Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Level 3 Applied Science. 

The Science Department (a member of the Professional Teaching Institute) is well resourced and is committed to extending and improving its range of opportunities for students. Practical experiments are a key part of the curriculum in Science, as we place great emphasis on enquiry in lessons. Our team is dedicated in maintaining curiosity and enthusing passion for our subject with all students. Teachers are well supported by our science technician team, and we have a successful mentoring programme within the Department for early career teachers. We have well established systems for tracking student progress, and all teachers benefit from being part of such a friendly and collaborative department.

Teaching

The successful candidate will be expected to be an excellent classroom practitioner. As a school we value highly the development of new and existing materials, and the post will involve the opportunity to work on the review of existing materials and the development of new ideas.

Above all else, the successful candidate should be enthusiastic about their work with young people and have a genuine concern for their development as individuals.

The school sees the form tutor as a key role in the support, development and welfare of the students and teachers are expected to undertake this role with the same standards and commitment as their subject role.

The school offers a bespoke CPD programme, research and development, links and networks with other outstanding schools as well as a plethora of extra-curricular and cross-curricular working opportunities.
