English Leader – (with Key Stage 4 responsibility)

Salary: MPS/UPS + TLR 2b (£5811)
Job type: Full time, permanent
Start date: 1^st January if possible
Apply by: Thursday 27^th November, 9am
Interviews: Tuesday 2^nd December

We are looking for an enthusiastic, proactive, and collaborative English teacher seeking to take on leadership responsibility in a thriving department of English 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.

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 have long enjoyed 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 takes students through the literary canon throughout the two-year curriculum that we offer at this Key Stage. Students begin by examining ancient literature and progress through a variety of genres and mediums before culminating in an exploration of issues faced in contemporary literature. Students develop a range of Reading, Writing, and Speaking and Listening 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 study examining their 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 applicants who are eager to join a warm, supportive and stimulating academic culture and thrive as part of our core team of TLR holders.

Why come to Hinchingbrooke?

This is a fantastic school to work in: on interview, we ask candidates for their impressions of the School and without fail they comment on how wonderful our students are, the positive team ethos amongst staff and how friendly and welcoming the School is.

We also offer:

• O2 staff discount 
• Free use of our on-site leisure facilities including gym and swimming pool 
• Free on-site car parking 

• An excellent programme of teacher CPD 
• Employee assistance package (counselling & advice) 
• Access to staff discounts from local suppliers 

If you are an outstanding teacher, it really is worth applying for this post and joining somewhere special. We are seeking to appoint a candidate who is passionate about their subject area; a team player who will thrive on collaboration and teamwork. Someone who really wants to make a difference!

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. This post will be subject to an enhanced DBS disclosure.

Hinchingbrooke School values the diversity of our workforce and welcomes applications from all sectors of the community.

We welcome visits prior to making your application.  Please email the Principal’s PA, Debbie Warner for more information on dwarner@hbk.acesmat.uk
