    Default job background
    Full time
    Description

    We wish to appoint from September 2024 a well-qualified, enthusiastic and committed Teacher of English. The post is full or part-time and permanent. The position would suit an ECT or experienced teacher.

    This is an excellent opportunity to join one of Oxfordshire's largest and most successful schools. Effective administrative systems support the two sites. Students are well-behaved and motivated, and there is a strong sense of community in Thame, with a committed parent support base.

    We are exceptionally strong in terms of pastoral support for all students and have the highest expectations for individual achievement whatever the starting points. Outside the classroom there are wonderful extra-curricular activities for all. Students leave the school successful and well-rounded individuals. There is a 'buzz' about learning in the school and our students are fortunate to be supported in their learning by dedicated teachers and support staff. Staff training and professional development are always a developmental priority and many of our staff move on to promotions in other schools.

    The School

    The school is the only school serving the market town of Thame and surrounding villages. It is a popular school and always oversubscribed. It is a split site school – Years 7-9 on our Lower School site and Years on our Upper School site. There are around 540 students in our Sixth Form and we attract many students from other schools, post-16. Teamwork is a key feature of school life and so is partnership with our feeder primary schools. There is a strong drive to establish powerful curriculum links cross phase with teachers collaborating on a range of projects.

    The English Faculty

    Key Stage 3

    English at Key Stage 3 is taught in mixed ability tutor groups. Most classes are well-supported by teaching assistants. For Year 9, we run targeted learning days, where students are grouped by attainment. Sessions are focussed on preparing for upcoming assessments. We also have a series of 'Masterclass' lessons taught after school during the year where we work with our most able students on a variety of different topics.

    Key Stage 3 is well resourced with schemes of work, a resource bank and course outlines for each year group. Lots of ICT resources are also available for each unit in each year group and we are continually updating and adding to these. There is a strong tradition of sharing resources and collaborative planning at Key Stage 3.

    Key Stage 4

    Students are still taught in mixed ability groups in year 10, apart from two top sets and two intervention groups. All students at Key Stage 4 follow the AQA syllabus and the vast majority of students are entered for both English Language and English Literature. We have remained with AQA for the GCSEs which were first examined in September 2017. Our Literature set texts are the Power and Conflict cluster of poems, Romeo and Juliet, Jekyll and Hyde and An Inspector Calls.

    In year 11 we create two extra groups so that all classes have fewer students and therefore more access to the time and support they need. Our results are consistently above the county and national averages. Since the arrival of the new specification at GCSE, around 87% of our students have achieved a 4+ in either Literature or Language each year.

    Key Stage 5

    The English Faculty offers English Literature, English Language and Media Studies at Key Stage 5 and all are very popular subjects. Specifications are provided by Edexcel for Language and Literature. The KS5 Media course is a BTEC in Creative Media Production provided by Pearson.

    Resources

    A brand new English block opened in September 2023. In addition to the dedicated accommodation for students and staff on both sites, the Faculty is supported by extensive library facilities. There are three libraries, for Key Stage 3, Key Stage 4 and Sixth Form use respectively and they are managed by qualified staff throughout the school day.

    Extra Curricular Activities

    We run annual theatre trips when available and visits to lectures for Sixth Form and Key Stage 4 students. The Most Able students take part in a number of different activities and we are always seeking new companies to come into school to widen the variety of performances offered to students. In 2019 we took one hundred Year 11 students to the Globe theatre. We take three hundred Year 9 students to Stratford each year and the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust have recently run workshops in school.

    Please note we reserve the right to interview prior to the closing date, so please do not delay in submitting your application.
