We are seeking to appoint an excellent Second in English to continue and support the development of a strong English Department. This is a great opportunity to lead on significant departmental programmes and deputise for the Lead of a core subject. The English provision for all schools is changing significantly, so there is huge potential here to make a real difference in the work of colleagues and outcomes for our students. There is also the possibility of enhancing the TLR for a whole school role for the right candidate.

In 2015, 79% of students achieved an A*- C grade in GCSE English and student outcomes at A level Literature were the highest in the school. We are expecting a further increase on these results this summer and our recruitment to KS5 is strong.

This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a school that focuses relentlessly on raising standards and invests in the development of both staff and students. Ofsted judged the school as ‘Good’ in October 2012 and we are determined to be judged ‘Outstanding’ at our next inspection.

At The Beacon School, we have a two week autumn half term from 19th October. We appreciate this is the standard half term week for most schools and will try to accommodate any particular requests in terms of timings. Interested candidates can contact the Vice Principal, Paul Cuthbert, on 07545 696376. Please email applications to him at pcuthbert@thebeaconschool.co.uk

Closing date: Noon on Tuesday, 27th October 2015.
Interview date: Thursday, 29th October 2015.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
