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.

In 2014, 80% of students achieved an A*- C grade in GCSE English and student outcomes at both A level Language and A Level Literature were some of the highest in the school. We are expecting a further increase on these results this summer and our recruitment to KS5 is strong.

The school has a developed provision with academic express streams, a strong house system and aim higher programmes. All students take part in enrichment activities and there are many opportunities for student trips and events. A two week October half term builds flexibility for staff into this programme. 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’ out our next inspection.

For an informal discussion about the post, please call Paul Cuthbert, Vice Principal on 07545 696376 or apply in writing to Mrs L Walker, Principal.

For more information and an application pack, please visit www.thebeaconschool.co.uk, email: hr@thebeaconschool.co.uk or telephone 01737 365222.

Closing date: Noon on Tuesday, 16th June 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.
