Description

About Us

Wembley High Technology College is one of the highest performing schools in the country. Nationally, the achievement of our pupils is exceptional; in 2019, our Progress 8 score of +1.57 has been recognised as the 4th highest in the country by the Department for Education. This progress from Key Stage 2 to GCSE has a transformative impact on our pupils' life chances and last year, over 50% of pupils leaving us went on to Russell Group Universities to study a range of academic subjects. In September 2020, Wembley High will also be welcoming pupils from North Brent School in Year 7 for two years while their new £27 million building is completed. The addition of a new school in our Multi-Academy Trust provides exciting development and leadership opportunities for staff in the years to come.

The English Department

We are looking for a teacher who can make a significant contribution to this strong and successful department and teach English across key stages 3, 4 and 5. Pupils are set according to ability in key stage 3 and study a wide range of texts to develop key skills and knowledge. At GCSE, pupils follow the AQA English specification and take their English Literature exam in year 10 followed by their English Language exam in Year 11. As a high performing department within the school, pupils strive to succeed at the highest levels; in 2022, 98% of pupils achieved grades 9 – 4 in English Literature GSCE with 63% awarded grades 9 – 7. A Level English is also a popular choice and many pupils go on to study English related courses at university.
